New Living Translation

1Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people are to work based on everything the LORD has commanded. The LORD has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary."

1“The LORD has gifted Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the LORD has commanded.”

2So Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person in whose heart the LORD had placed wisdom, everyone whose heart moved him, to come to the work and do it.

2So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the LORD and were eager to get to work.

3They took from Moses' presence all the contributions that the Israelites had brought for the task of making the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.

3Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning.

4Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing

4Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work.

5and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than is needed for the construction of the work the LORD commanded to be done."

5They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the LORD has commanded us to do!”

6After Moses gave an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: "Let no man or woman make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." So the people stopped.

6So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings.

7The materials were sufficient for them to do all the work. There was more than enough.

7Their contributions were more than enough to complete the whole project. Building the Tabernacle

8All the skilled craftsmen among those doing the work made the tabernacle with 10 curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.

8The skilled craftsmen made ten curtains of finely woven linen for the Tabernacle. Then Bezalel decorated the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

9The length of each curtain was 42 feet, and the width of each curtain six feet; all the curtains had the same measurements.

9All ten curtains were exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

10He joined five of the curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he joined to each other.

10Five of these curtains were joined together to make one long curtain, and the other five were joined to make a second long curtain.

11He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set and did the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.

11He made fifty loops of blue yarn and put them along the edge of the last curtain in each set.

12He made 50 loops on the one curtain and 50 loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other.

12The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain matched the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.

13He also made 50 gold clasps and joined the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle became a single unit.

13Then he made fifty gold clasps and fastened the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle was made of one continuous piece.

14He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made 11 of them.

14He made eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.

15The length of each curtain was 45 feet, and the width of each curtain six feet. All 11 curtains had the same measurements.

15These eleven curtains were all exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

16He joined five of the curtains together, and the other six together.

16Bezalel joined five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and the other six were joined to make a second long curtain.

17He made 50 loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set and 50 loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.

17He made fifty loops for the edge of each large curtain.

18He made 50 bronze clasps to join the tent together as a single unit.

18He also made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the long curtains together. In this way, the tent covering was made of one continuous piece.

19He also made a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of manatee skins on top of it.

19He completed the tent covering with a layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.

20He made upright planks of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

20For the framework of the Tabernacle, Bezalel constructed frames of acacia wood.

21The length of each plank was 15 feet, and the width of each was 27 inches.

21Each frame was 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,

22There were two tenons connected to each other for each plank. He did the same for all the planks of the tabernacle.

22with two pegs under each frame. All the frames were identical.

23He made planks for the tabernacle as follows: 20 for the south side,

23He made twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.

24and he made 40 silver bases to put under the 20 planks, two bases under the first plank for its two tenons, and two bases under each of the following planks for their two tenons;

24He also made forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.

25for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made 20 planks,

25For the north side of the Tabernacle, he made another twenty frames,

26with their 40 silver bases, two bases under the first plank and two bases under each of the following ones;

26with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.

27and for the west side of the tabernacle he made six planks.

27He made six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—

28He also made two additional planks for the two back corners of the tabernacle.

28along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.

29They were paired at the bottom and joined together at the top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners.

29These corner frames were matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Both of these corner units were made the same way.

30So there were eight planks with their 16 silver bases, two bases under each one.

30So there were eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.

31He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the planks on one side of the tabernacle,

31Then he made crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle

32five crossbars for the planks on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for those at the back of the tabernacle on the west.

32and five for the south side. He also made five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which faced west.

33He made the central crossbar run through the middle of the planks from one end to the other.

33He made the middle crossbar to attach halfway up the frames; it ran all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.

34He overlaid them with gold and made their rings out of gold as holders for the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

34He overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. Then he overlaid the crossbars with gold as well.

35Then he made the veil with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. He made it with a design of cherubim worked into it.

35For the inside of the Tabernacle, Bezalel made a special curtain of finely woven linen. He decorated it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

36He made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold. And he cast four silver bases for the posts.

36For the curtain, he made four posts of acacia wood and four gold hooks. He overlaid the posts with gold and set them in four silver bases.

37He made a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen for the entrance to the tent,

37Then he made another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. He made it of finely woven linen and embroidered it with exquisite designs using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

38together with its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.

38This curtain was hung on gold hooks attached to five posts. The posts with their decorated tops and hooks were overlaid with gold, and the five bases were cast from bronze.
