“Bezalel and Oholiab, and all the other men to whom Yahweh has given ability and enabled them to understand how to do all the work to make the Sacred Tent, must make everything just as Yahweh has commanded.”

Moses/I gave them all the things that the people had brought as offerings to Yahweh for making the Sacred Tent. But the people continued bringing more things every morning.
4 Nʼihi ya, ndị ọrụ ǹka niile nọ na-arụ ọrụ nʼebe nsọ ahụ hapụrụ ọrụ ha na-arụ,
As a result, the skilled men who were doing various things to make the Sacred Tent came to Moses/me

and said, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”

So Moses/I gave the skilled men this message that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the Sacred Tent!” When the people [heard that], they did not bring anything more.
7 Nʼihi na onyinye e wetara adịla ukwuu karịa ihe a chọrọ maka ọrụ ahụ.
What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. [In fact], it was more than was needed!

All the most skilled men among the workmen made the Sacred Tent. They made it from ten strips of fine linen, and carefully embroidered it using blue, purple, and red yarn/thread to make figures that resembled the winged creatures.
9 Akwa mgbochi ndị a ha nʼotu. Ịdị ogologo ha nʼotu nʼotu bụ mita iri na abụọ na ọkara. Obosara ha bụ otu mita na sentimita asatọ.
Each strip was (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.

For each set, they made loops of blue [cloth] and fastened them on the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.

13 Emesịa, ha ji iri nko ọlaedo ise jikọta ụzọ akwa mgbochi abụọ ndị a, si otu a mee ka ụlọ nzute ahụ ghọọ otu.
They made 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. In that way, the inside of the Sacred Tent was [as though it was] one piece.

They made 100 loops [of blue cloth]. They fastened 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and they fastened 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
18 Ha mekwara iri nko bronz ise, iji jikọta ụlọ nzute ahụ ka ọ bụrụ otu.
They made 50 bronze clasps/fasteners and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.

They made 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases went under each frame. The projections on each frame fit into these bases.

The two corner frames were joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames they fastened a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
