Exodus 36:1-18 ▼

1 And Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whom YHWH has given wisdom and understanding to know to do every work of the service of the holy place, have done according to all that YHWH commanded.

2 And Moses calls to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to every wise-hearted man in whose heart YHWH has given wisdom, everyone whom his heart lifted up, to come near to the work to do it.

3 And they take from before Moses all the raised-offering which the sons of Israel have brought in for the work of the service of the holy place to do it; and still they have brought to him a willing-offering morning by morning.

4 And all the wise men, who are doing all the work of the holy place, each come from his work which they are doing,

5 and speak to Moses, saying, “The people are multiplying to bring in more than sufficient for the service of the work which YHWH commanded [us] to do.”

6 And Moses commands, and they cause a voice to pass over through the camp, saying, “Do not let man or woman make anymore work for the raised-offering of the holy place”; and the people are restrained from bringing,

7 and the work has been sufficient for them, for all the work, to do it, and to leave.

8 And all the wise-hearted ones among the doers of the work make the Dwelling Place; he has made them [with] ten curtains of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [with] cherubim, the work of a designer.

9 The length of one curtain [is] twenty-eight by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four by the cubit; one measure [is] for all the curtains.

10 And he joins the five curtains to one another, and the [other] five curtains he has joined to one another;

11 and he makes loops of blue on the edge of one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he has made in the edge of the outmost curtain, in the joining of the second;

12 he has made fifty loops in the first curtain, and he has made fifty loops in the end of the curtain which [is] in the joining of the second; the loops are taking hold on one another.

13 And he makes fifty hooks of gold, and joins the curtains to one another by the hooks, and the Dwelling Place is one.

14 And he makes curtains of goats’ [hair] for a tent over the Dwelling Place; eleven curtains he has made them;

15 the length of one curtain [is] thirty by the cubit, and the breadth of one curtain [is] four cubits; one measure [is] for the eleven curtains;

16 and he joins the five curtains apart, and the six curtains apart.

17 And he makes fifty loops on the outer edge of the curtain, in the joining; and he has made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which is joining the second;

18 and he makes fifty hooks of bronze to join the tent—to be one;
