Shemot 36
36
1Then Betzalel and Oholiav, and kol ish chacham lev, in whom Hashem gave chochmah and tevunah to have da'as to do all manner of work for the Avodas HaKodesh, according to all that Hashem had commanded.
2And Moshe called Betzalel and Oholiav, and kol ish chacham lev, in whose lev Hashem had given chochmah, even every one whose lev stirred him up to come unto the work to do it;
3And they received of Moshe kol haterumah, which the Bnei Yisroel had brought for the work of the Avodas HaKodesh, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him nedavah every boker.
4And all the chachamim, that wrought all the work of HaKodesh, came every man from his work which they were doing;
5And they spoke unto Moshe, saying, HaAm bring much more than enough for the Avodah of the work, which Hashem commanded to do.
6And Moshe gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the machaneh, saying, Let neither ish nor isha make any more work for the terumat HaKodesh. So HaAm were restrained from bringing.
7For the work had been sufficient for all the work to do it v'hoter.
8And kol chacham lev among them that wrought the work of the Mishkan made ten curtains of fine linen, twisted with turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool; with keruvim in a woven artistic design made he#36:8 Betzalel them.
9The length of each curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all of the one size.
10And he joined five curtains one unto another; and the other five curtains he joined one unto another.
11And he made loops of turquoise wool on the edge of one curtain at the end of the first set; likewise he made them along the edge of the end curtains of the second set.
12Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the end curtain in the second set; the loops were to be opposite one another.
13And he made fifty hooks of zahav, and joined the curtains one unto another with the hooks; so it became Mishkan Echad.
14And he made curtains of goat hair for the Ohel over the Mishkan; eleven curtains he made them.
15The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of one curtain; the eleven curtains were of the one size.
16And he joined five curtains into a set, and six curtains into a set.
17And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain at the end of the set, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain of the other set.
18And he made fifty hooks of nechoshet to attach the Ohel together, that it might be echad (one).
19And he made a Mikhseh (Cover) for the Ohel of dyed red ram skin, and a tachash hide Mikhseh above that.
20And he made kerashim (planks) for the Mishkan of acacia wood, standing erect.
21The length of a keresh (plank) was ten cubits, and the width of a keresh one cubit and a half.
22One keresh had two yadot (projections, tenons), equally distant one from another; thus did he make for all the kerashim of the Mishkan.
23And he made kerashim (frames) for the Mishkan; twenty kerashim for the negev (south) side southward;
24And arba'im sockets of kesef he made under the twenty kerashim; two sockets under one keresh for its two tenons, and two sockets under another keresh for its two tenons.
25And for the other side of the Mishkan, which is toward the north, he made twenty kerashim,
26And their arba'im sockets of kesef; two sockets under one keresh, and two sockets under another keresh.
27And for the sides of the Mishkan westward he made six kerashim.
28And two kerashim made he for the corners of the Mishkan in the back.
29And they were doubled at the bottom, and joined together; at the top thereof, there was one ring; thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30And there were eight kerashim; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of kesef, under every keresh two sockets.
31And he made crossbars of acacia wood; five for the kerashim of the one side of the Mishkan,
32And five crossbars for the kerashim of the other side of the Mishkan, and five crossbars for the kerashim of the Mishkan for the sides westward.
33And he made the middle crossbar to extend within the kerashim from the one end to the other.
34And he overlaid the kerashim with zahav, and made their rings of zahav to be housing for the crossbars, and overlaid the crossbars with zahav.
35And he made a Parochet#36:35 See Mk 15:38 of turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool, and twisted fine linen; with keruvim made he it of artistic embroidery.
36And he made thereunto four ammudim of acacia wood, and overlaid them with zahav; their hooks were of zahav; and he cast for them four sockets of kesef.
37And he made a Masach for the petach of the Ohel of turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool, and twisted fine linen, the work of artistic embroidery;
38And the five ammudim of it with their hooks; and he overlaid their tops and their bands with zahav; but their five sockets were of nechoshet.

Exodus 36
36
1“Let Bezalel, Oholiab, and every other skilled worker whom the LORD has given skill, ability, and knowledge for the work of building the sanctuary do all that the LORD has commanded.”
2Moses then called together Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had given skill and who was eager to come and do the work. 3Moses gave them all the gift offerings that the Israelites had contributed to the work on the sanctuary. They kept bringing him spontaneous gifts, morning after morning.
4Finally, all the skilled workers building the sanctuary left their work that they were doing one by one to come 5and say to Moses, “The people are contributing way too much material for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do.”
6So Moses issued a command that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “Every man and woman should stop making gift offerings for the sanctuary project.” So the people stopped bringing anything more 7because what they had already brought was more than enough to do all the work.
Construction of the dwelling
8All the skilled workers made the dwelling out of ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and deep red yarns, with figures of winged heavenly creatures worked into their design. 9Each curtain was forty-two feet long and six feet wide. All the curtains were the same size.
10They joined five of the curtains to each other and joined the other five curtains to each other. 11They made loops of blue thread on the edge of the outer curtain of the first set. They did the same on the edge of the outer curtain of the second set. 12They made fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the outer curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite each other. 13They also made fifty gold clasps, and they used the clasps to join the curtains to each other so that the dwelling was one whole structure.
14They also made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the dwelling. They made eleven curtains. 15Each curtain was forty-five feet long and each curtain six feet wide. All eleven curtains were the same size. 16They joined five curtains together and the six other curtains together. 17They made fifty loops on the edge of the outer curtain of the one set and fifty loops on the edge of the other set of curtains. 18They made fifty copper clasps to join the tent together so that it would be one whole structure. 19They also made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and an outer covering of beaded leather.
20Then they made acacia-wood boards to stand upright as a frame for the dwelling. 21Each board was fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide. 22Each board had two pegs for joining them to each other. They did this for all the dwelling’s boards. 23They made twenty boards for the dwelling’s southern side. 24They made forty silver bases under the twenty boards, with two bases under the first board for its two pegs, two bases under the next board for its two pegs, and so on. 25For the dwelling’s other side on the north, they made twenty boards 26and forty silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on. 27For the back of the dwelling on the west, they made six boards. 28They made two additional boards for the dwelling’s rear corners. 29They were spread out at the bottom but joined together at the top with one ring. In this way, these two boards formed the two corners. 30And so there were eight boards with their sixteen silver bases, with two bases under every board.
31They also made acacia-wood bars: five for the boards on one side of the dwelling, 32five bars for the boards on the other side of the dwelling, and five bars for the boards on the back wall of the dwelling on the west. 33They made the middle bar, which was halfway up the boards, run from one end to the other. 34They covered the boards with gold. They made gold rings to house the bars and covered the bars with gold.
35They made the veil of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen, with figures of winged heavenly creatures worked into its design. 36They made for it four acacia-wood posts covered in gold with gold hooks and cast four silver bases for them. 37They made a screen for the entrance to the tent of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen, decorated with needlework. 38They made its five posts with hooks. They covered their tops and bands with gold, but made their five bases out of copper.
