< Exodus 36 >

1 And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the sanctuary, have done according to all that Jehovah commanded.
Therefore, Bezalel, and Oholiab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and intelligence, so as to know how to work skillfully, made that which was necessary for the uses of the Sanctuary and which the Lord had instructed.
2 And Moses calleth unto Bezaleel, and unto Aholiab, and unto every wise-hearted man in whose heart Jehovah hath given wisdom, every one whom his heart lifted up, to come near unto the work to do it.
And when Moses had called them and every man of learning, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and who, of their own accord, had offered themselves in order to accomplish this work,
3 And they take from before Moses all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the sanctuary to do it; and still they have brought in unto him a willing-offering morning by morning.
he handed over to them all the donations of the sons of Israel. And while they were pursuing this work, the people offered what they had vowed each day, in the morning.
4 And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the sanctuary, come each from his work which they are doing,
The artisans were compelled by this to go
5 and speak unto Moses, saying, 'The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.'
to Moses and to say, “The people offer more than is needed.”
6 And Moses commandeth, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, 'Let not man or woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary;' and the people are restrained from bringing,
Therefore, Moses ordered this to be recited, with a voice of proclamation: “Let neither man nor woman offer anything further for the work of the Sanctuary.” And so they ceased from offering gifts,
7 and the work hath been sufficient for them, for all the work, to do it, and to leave.
because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance.
8 And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the tabernacle; ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubs, work of a designer, he hath made them.
And all those who were wise of heart, in order to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse workmanship by the art of embroidery.
9 The length of the one curtain [is] eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain four by the cubit; one measure [is] to all the curtains.
Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure.
10 And he joineth the five curtains one unto another, and the [other] five curtains he hath joined one unto another;
And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another.
11 and he maketh loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he hath made in the edge of the outmost curtain, in the joining of the second;
He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain,
12 fifty loops he hath made in the one curtain, and fifty loops hath he made in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold one on another.
so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.
13 And he maketh fifty hooks of gold, and joineth the curtains one unto another by the hooks, and the tabernacle is one.
For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.
14 And he maketh curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he hath made them;
He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
15 the length of the one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of the one curtain [is] four cubits; one measure [is] to the eleven curtains;
one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.
16 and he joineth the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.
Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately.
17 And he maketh fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and fifty loops he hath made on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;
And he made fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, and fifty along the edge of the other canopy, so that they might be joined to one another,
18 and he maketh fifty hooks of brass to join the tent — to be one;
and fifty buckles of brass, with which the roof might be woven together, so that from all the canopies there would be made one covering.
19 and he maketh a covering for the tent of rams' skins made red, and a covering of badgers' skins above.
He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.
20 And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up;
He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.
21 ten cubits [is] the length of the [one] board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of the [one] board;
Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width.
22 two handles [are] to the one board, joined one unto another; so he hath made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
There were two dovetails along every panel, so that one might be joined to the other. Thus did he make all the panels of the tabernacle.
23 And he maketh the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward;
Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,
24 and forty sockets of silver he hath made under the twenty boards, two sockets under the one board for its two handles, and two sockets under the other board for its two handles.
with forty bases of silver. Two bases were set under one panel at each of two sides at the corners, where the joints of the sides terminate in corners.
25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, for the north side, he hath made twenty boards,
Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,
26 and their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under the one board, and two sockets under the other board;
with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board.
27 and for the sides of the tabernacle, westward, hath he made six boards;
Yet truly, opposite the west, that is, toward that part of the tabernacle which looks out toward the sea, he made six panels,
28 and two boards hath he made for the corners of the tabernacle, in the two sides;
and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back,
29 and they have been twins below, and together they are twins at its head, at the one ring; so he hath done to both of them at the two corners;
which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side.
30 and there have been eight boards; and their sockets of silver [are] sixteen sockets, two sockets under the one board.
So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel.
31 And he maketh bars of shittim wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle,
32 and five bars for the boards of the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle, for the sides westward;
and five others to fit together the panels of the other side, and, in addition to these, five other bars toward the western area of the tabernacle, opposite the sea.
33 and he maketh the middle bar to enter into the midst of the boards from end to end;
He also made another bar, which came through the middle of the panels from corner to corner.
34 and the boards he hath overlaid with gold, and their rings he hath made of gold, places for bars, and he overlayeth the bars with gold.
But the panels themselves he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them. And he made their rings from gold, through which the bars might be able to be drawn. And he covered the bars themselves with layers of gold.
35 And he maketh the vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer he hath made it, [with] cherubs;
He also made a veil from hyacinth, and purple, from vermillion as well as fine twisted linen, with varied and distinctive embroidery,
36 and he maketh for it four pillars of shittim [wood], and overlayeth them with gold; their pegs [are] of gold; and he casteth for them four sockets of silver.
and four columns of setim wood, which, along with their heads, he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them.
37 And he maketh a covering for the opening of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer,
He also made a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery,
38 also its five pillars, and their pegs; and he overlaid their tops and their fillets [with] gold, and their five sockets [are] brass.
and five columns with their heads, which he covered with gold, and he cast their bases from brass.
