Exodus 36

1 So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom Yahweh has given skill and ability to know how to do any work in the construction of the holy place are to do the work according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”

And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom YHWH has given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the holy place, have done according to all that YHWH commanded.

2 Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skillful person in whose mind Yahweh had given skill, and whose heart stirred within him to come and do the work.

And Moses calls to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to every wise-hearted man in whose heart YHWH has given wisdom, everyone whom his heart lifted up, to come near to the work to do it.

3 They received from Moses all the offerings that the Israelites had brought for constructing the holy place. The people were still bringing freewill offerings every morning to Moses.

And they take from before Moses all the raised-offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the holy place to do it; and still they have brought to him a willing-offering morning by morning.

4 So all the skilled people working on the holy place came from the work that they had been doing.

And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the holy place, each come from his work which they are doing,

5 The craftsmen told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for doing the work that Yahweh has commanded us to do.”

and speak to Moses, saying, “The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which YHWH commanded [us] to do.”

6 So Moses instructed that no one in the camp should bring any more offerings for the construction of the holy place. Then the people stopped bringing these gifts.

And Moses commands, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, “Do not let man or woman make anymore work for the raised-offering of the holy place”; and the people are restrained from bringing,

7 They had more than enough materials for all the work.

and the work has been sufficient for them, for all the work, to do it, and to leave.

8 So all the craftsmen among them constructed the tabernacle with ten curtains made from fine linen and blue, purple, and scarlet wool with the designs of cherubim. This was the work of Bezalel, the very skilled craftsman.

And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the Dwelling Place; he has made them [with] ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubim, the work of a designer.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, the width four cubits. All the curtains were of the same size.

The length of one curtain [is] twenty-eight by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four by the cubit; one measure [is] for all the curtains.

10 Bezalel joined five curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he also joined to each other.

And he joins the five curtains to one another, and the [other] five curtains he has joined to one another;

11 He made loops of blue along the outer edge of the end curtain of one set, and he did the same along the outer edge of the end curtain in the second set.

and he makes loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he has made in the edge of the outmost curtain, in the joining of the second;

12 He made fifty loops on the first curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. So the loops were opposite to each another.

he has made fifty loops in the first curtain, and he has made fifty loops in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold on one another.

13 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together with them so that the tabernacle became united.

And he makes fifty hooks of gold, and joins the curtains to one another by the hooks, and the Dwelling Place is one.

14 Bezalel made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven of these curtains.

And he makes curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the Dwelling Place; eleven curtains he has made them;

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain was four cubits. Each of the eleven curtains was of the same size.

the length of one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four cubits; one measure [is] for the eleven curtains;

16 He joined five curtains to each other and the other six curtains to each other.

and he joins the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.

17 He made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain of the first set, and fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain that joined the second set.

And he makes fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and he has made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;

18 Bezalel made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be one piece.

and he makes fifty hooks of bronze to join the tent—to be one;

19 He made for the tabernacle a covering of ram skins dyed red, another covering of fine leather to go above that.

and he makes a covering for the tent of rams’ skins made red, and a covering of tachashim skins above.

20 Bezalel made vertical frames out of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

And he makes the boards for the Dwelling Place of shittim wood, standing up;

21 The length of each frame was ten cubits, and the width of each frame was one and a half cubits.

ten cubits [is] the length of the [one] board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the [one] board;

22 Each frame had two wooden pegs for joining the frames together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.

two handles [are] to one board, joined to one another; so he has made for all the boards of the Dwelling Place.

23 He made the frames for the tabernacle in this way: twenty frames for the south side.

And he makes the boards for the Dwelling Place; twenty boards for the south side southward;

24 Bezalel made forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames. There were two bases under one frame to join the frames together, and also two bases under each of the other frames to join frames together.

and he has made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.

25 For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames

And for the second side of the Dwelling Place, for the north side, he has made twenty boards,

26 and their forty silver bases. There were two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under the other board;

27 For the back of the tabernacle on the west, Bezalel made six frames.

and for the sides of the Dwelling Place westward, he has made six boards;

28 He made two frames for the back corners of the tabernacle.

and he has made two boards for the corners of the Dwelling Place, in the two sides;

29 These frames were separate at the bottom, but joined at the top in one ring. He made two of them in this way for the two corners.

and they have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at one ring; so he has done to both of them at the two corners;

30 There were eight frames, together with their silver bases. There were sixteen bases in all, two bases under the first frame, two bases under the next frame, and so on.

and there have been eight boards; and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under one board.

31 Bezalel made crossbars of acacia wood—five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,

And he makes bars of shittim wood: five for the boards of the first side of the Dwelling Place,

32 five crossbars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the frames for the back side of the tabernacle to the west.

and five bars for the boards of the second side of the Dwelling Place, and five bars for the boards of the Dwelling Place, for the sides westward;

33 He made the crossbar in the center of the frames, that is, halfway up, to reach from end to end.

and he makes the middle bar to enter into the midst of the boards from end to end;

34 He covered the frames with gold. He made their rings of gold, for them to serve as holders for the crossbars, and he covered the bars with gold.

and he has overlaid the boards with gold, and he has made their rings of gold, places for bars, and he overlays the bars with gold.

35 Bezalel made the curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen, with designs of cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

And he makes the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen; he has made it [with] cherubim—the work of a designer;

36 He made for the curtain four pillars of acacia wood, and he covered them with gold. He also made gold hooks for the pillars, and he cast for them four silver bases.

and he makes four pillars of shittim [wood] for it, and overlays them with gold; their pegs [are] of gold; and he casts four sockets of silver for them.

37 He made a hanging for the tent entrance. It was made of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, using fine linen, the work of an embroiderer.

And he makes a covering for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of an embroiderer,

38 He also made the hanging's five pillars with hooks. He covered their tops and their rods with gold. Their five bases were made of bronze.

also its five pillars, and their pegs; and he overlaid their tops and their fillets [with] gold, and their five sockets [are] bronze.
