Exodus 36
1¶ Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man unto whom the Lord gave wisdom and intelligence to know how to do all the work of the service of the sanctuary, all the things that the Lord had commanded.
2And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab and every wise hearted man in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom and every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it;
3and they took from the presence of Moses all the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it with. And they brought yet unto him free will offerings every morning.
4So much that all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came every man from his work which they made,
5and they spoke with Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the work of the ministry which the Lord commanded to make.
6And Moses commanded it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing,
7for they had abundant material for all the work; more than enough to make it with.
8¶ And everyone with a wise heart among those that wrought the work made the tabernacle of ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet, which they made of cunning work, with cherubim.
9The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits; the curtains were all of one size.
10And he coupled the five curtains one unto another; and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain in the border in the coupling; likewise he made in the border of the second curtain in the coupling.
12Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the second curtain in the border in the coupling, the loops in front of the others.
13And he made fifty hooks of gold and coupled the curtains one unto another with the hooks, so it became one tabernacle.
14¶ Likewise he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains.
15The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain; the eleven curtains were of one size.
16And he coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.
17And he made fifty loops upon the edge of the uttermost curtain in the coupling, and he made another fifty loops upon the edge of the other curtain in the coupling.
18And he also made fifty hooks of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and another covering of badgers’ skins above that.
20And he made the boards for the tabernacle of cedar wood, standing up.
21The length of each board was ten cubits, and the breadth one cubit and a half.
22Each board had two tenons, equally distant one from another; thus did he make all the boards of the tabernacle.
23He made, therefore, the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side towards the Negev.
24He also made the forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side of the Aquilon, {the north wind} he made twenty boards,
26with their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27And for the westward side of the tabernacle he made six boards.
28And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides,
29which were coupled beneath and likewise coupled together above to a ring; thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30There were, therefore, eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31And he also made bars of cedar wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the westward side.
33And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from the one end to the other.
34And he covered the boards with gold and made their rings of gold for the bars to pass through and covered the bars with gold also.
35¶ Likewise he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, which he made with cherubim of cunning work.
36And for it he made four pillars of cedar and covered them with gold; their capitals were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37Likewise he made the veil for the tabernacle door of blue and purple and scarlet and fine twined linen, of needlework,
38and its five pillars with their capitals; and he covered their heads and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets he made of brass.

Exodus 36
36
1Bezalel and Oholiab must do the work just as the Lord has commanded. So must every skilled worker to whom the Lord has given skill and ability. They know how to do all the work for every purpose connected with the sacred tent. And that includes setting it up.”
2Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab. He sent for every skilled worker to whom the Lord had given ability and who wanted to come and do the work. 3They received from Moses all the offerings the people of Israel had brought. They had brought the offerings for all the work for every purpose connected with the holy tent. That included setting it up. The people kept bringing the offerings they chose to give. They brought them morning after morning. 4So all the skilled workers working on the holy tent stopped what they were doing. 5They said to Moses, “The Lord commanded us to do the work. And the people are bringing more than enough for us to do it.”
6Then Moses gave an order. A message was sent through the whole camp. It said, “No man or woman should make anything else and offer it for the holy tent.” And so the people were kept from bringing more offerings. 7There was already more than enough to do all the work.
The Holy Tent
8All the skilled workers made the holy tent. They made ten curtains out of finely twisted linen. They made them with blue, purple and bright red yarn. A skilled worker sewed cherubim into the pattern. 9All the curtains were the same size. They were 42 feet long and six feet wide. 10The workers joined five of the curtains together. They did the same thing with the other five. 11Then they made loops out of blue strips of cloth along the edge of the end curtain in one set. They did the same thing with the end curtain in the other set. 12They also made 50 loops on the end curtain of the one set. They did the same thing on the end curtain of the other set. They put the loops across from each other. 13Then they made 50 gold hooks. They used them to join the two sets of curtains together so that the holy tent was all one piece.
14The workers made a total of 11 curtains out of goat hair to put over the holy tent. 15All 11 curtains were the same size. They were 45 feet long and six feet wide. 16The workers joined five of the curtains together into one set. They did the same thing with the other six. 17Then they made 50 loops along the edge of the end curtain in the one set. They did the same thing with the other set. 18They made 50 bronze hooks. They used them to join the tent together all in one piece. 19They made a covering for the tent. They made it out of ram skins dyed red. Over that, they put a covering of another kind of strong leather.
20The workers made frames out of acacia wood for the holy tent. 21Each frame was about 15 feet long and two feet three inches wide. 22The workers added two small wooden pins to each frame. The pins stuck out so that they were even with each other. The workers made all the frames of the holy tent in the same way. 23The workers made 20 frames for the south side of the holy tent. 24And they made 40 silver bases to go under them. They made two bases for each frame. They put one under each pin that stuck out. 25For the north side of the holy tent they made 20 frames 26and 40 silver bases. They put two bases under each frame. 27The workers made six frames for the west end of the holy tent. 28They made two frames for the corners of the holy tent at the far end. 29At those two corners the frames were double from top to bottom. They were fitted into a single ring. The workers made both of them the same. 30So there were eight frames and 16 silver bases. There were two bases under each frame.
31The workers also made crossbars out of acacia wood. They made five for the frames on one side of the holy tent. 32They made five for the frames on the other side. And they made five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the holy tent. 33The center crossbar reached from end to end at the middle of the frames. 34The workers covered the frames with gold. They made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also covered the crossbars with gold.
35They made the curtain out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. A skilled worker sewed cherubim into the pattern. 36The workers made four posts out of acacia wood for the curtain. They covered the posts with gold. They made gold hooks and four silver bases for the posts. 37For the entrance to the tent the workers made a curtain. They made it out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. A person who sewed skillfully made it. 38The workers made five posts with hooks for the curtains. They covered the tops of the posts and their bands with gold. And they made five bronze bases for them.
