1 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. “Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the LORD has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.” So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the LORD has commanded.”
2 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, And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the LORD had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. Then Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work.
3 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. And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.
4 The artisans were compelled by this to go so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing
5 to Moses and to say, “The people offer more than is needed.” and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do.” and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done.”
6 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, So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more,
7 because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance. for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more. because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.
8 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. And all the craftsmen among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked. All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands.
9 Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure. The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains were the same size. All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.
10 And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another. He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another. They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five.
11 He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain, He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set. Likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set. Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set.
12 so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together. He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another. They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.
13 For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one. And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps. So the tabernacle was a single whole. Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.
14 He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle: He also made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains. They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether.
15 one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure. The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains were the same size. All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.
16 Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately. He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set.
17 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, And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other connecting curtain. Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.
18 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. And he made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together that it might be a single whole. They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.
19 He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins. And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and goatskins. Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.
20 He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood. Then he made the upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood. They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
21 Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width. Ten cubits was the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame. Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,
22 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. Each frame had two tenons for fitting together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle. with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.
23 Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south, The frames for the tabernacle he made thus: twenty frames for the south side. They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle
24 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. And he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons. and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection.
25 Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels, For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames
26 with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board. and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame and two bases under the next frame. and forty silver bases—two under each frame.
27 Yet truly, opposite the west, that is, toward that part of the tabernacle which looks out toward the sea, he made six panels, For the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six frames. They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
28 and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back, He made two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear. and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end.
29 which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side. And they were separate beneath but joined at the top, at the first ring. He made two of them this way for the two corners. At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike.
30 So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel. There were eight frames with their bases of silver: sixteen bases, under every frame two bases. So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.
31 He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle, He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle, They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,
32 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. and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle at the rear westward. five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.
33 He also made another bar, which came through the middle of the panels from corner to corner. And he made the middle bar to run from end to end halfway up the frames. They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames.
34 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. And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
35 He also made a veil from hyacinth, and purple, from vermillion as well as fine twisted linen, with varied and distinctive embroidery, He made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; with cherubim skillfully worked into it he made it. They made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.
36 and four columns of setim wood, which, along with their heads, he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them. And for it he made four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four bases of silver. They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases.
37 He also made a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery, He also made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework, For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer;
38 and five columns with their heads, which he covered with gold, and he cast their bases from brass. and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze. and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.
