Exodus 36

VIN^{(i) 1} Bezalel and Oholiab and all the skilled craftsmen to whom the LORD gave wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work in constructing the sanctuary shall do everything that the LORD has commanded." ² Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman to whom the LORD gave these skills and who was willing to come and do the work. ³ They received from Moses all the offerings that the Israelites had brought for doing the work of constructing the sanctuary, and the people continued to bring freewill offerings every morning. ⁴ All the craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left the work they were doing ⁵ and said to Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the work that the LORD has commanded us to do." ⁶ Then Moses issued an order, and the message was taken throughout the camp, "Men and women, don't bring more offerings for the sanctuary." The people were restrained from bringing any more, ⁷ since the material was more than sufficient for doing all the work. ⁸ And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman. ⁹ Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure. ¹⁰ He joined five of the curtains together, and the other five curtains he joined together. ¹¹ And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; so he did on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. ¹² He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another. ¹³ They also made fifty gold fasteners. They used them to link the two sets of curtains together so that the inner tent was a single unit. ¹⁴ And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made. ¹⁵ Each of the eleven curtains was forty-five feet long and six feet wide. ¹⁶ And he joined five of the curtains by themselves,—and the six curtains, by themselves. ¹⁷ And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set. ¹⁸ And he made fifty bronze clasps for joining the tent to become one. ¹⁹ And he made a covering for the tent of rams skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above. ²⁰ Then he made upright boards of acacia wood for the tabernacle. ²¹ The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide. ²² Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way. ²³ They made twenty frames for the south side of the inner tent. ²⁴ And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under the one board for its two pins. ²⁵ For the second side of the tabernacle to the north he made twenty boards, ²⁶ With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board. ²⁷ They made six frames for the far end, the west side. ²⁸ And two boards he made for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. ²⁹ These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles. ³⁰ So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board. ³¹ Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle, ³² five were for those on the other side, and five were for the frames on the far side of the inner tent, the west side. ³³ The middle crossbar was made so that it ran from one end to the other, halfway up the frames. ³⁴ They covered the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also covered the crossbars with gold. ³⁵ He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman. ³⁶ And he made for it four acacia pillars, and he overlaid them with gold, with their gold hooks, and he cast for them four silver bases. ³⁷ For the doorway of the tent, he made a screen of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine woven linen, the work of an embroiderer, ³⁸ and its five pillars, and their hooks; and the overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; and their five sockets bronze.
