Exodus 36

CHAPTER 36

1Therefore Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and each wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, that they know how to work craftily, made things that were needful into the uses of the saintuary, and which the Lord commanded to be made.

2And when Moses had called them, and each learned man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom and knowing, and the which proffered themselves by their own free will to make the work,

3Moses betook to them all the gifts of the sons of Israel. And when they were busy in their work each day, the people offered their avows early.

4Wherefore the workmen were compelled to come,

5and they said to Moses, The people offereth more than is needful.

6Therefore Moses commanded to be cried by the voice of a crier, Neither man nor woman offer more anything in the work of [the] saintuary; and so it was ceased from gifts to be offered,

7for the things offered sufficed, and were over-abundant.

8And all the wise men in heart, to fulfill the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of bis folded again, and of jacinth, and purple, and of red silk twice-dyed, by diverse work, and by craft of many colours.

9Of which curtains one had in length eight and twenty cubits, and four cubits in breadth; one measure was of all the curtains.

10And he joined five curtains one to another, and he coupled other five to themselves together;

11and he made eyelets of jacinth in the hem of the one curtain on ever either side, and in like manner in the hem of the tother curtain,

12that the eyelets shall come together against themselves, and they shall be joined together;

13wherefore he melted out also fifty golden rings, that shall hold the eyelets of the curtains; and so one tabernacle was made.

14He made also eleven says of the hairs of goats, to cover the roof of the tabernacle;

15one say had thirty cubits in length, [and] four cubits in breadth; all the says were of one measure;

16of which says he joined five by themselves, and six others by them-selves.

17And he made fifty eyelets in the hem of one say, and fifty in the hem of the tother say, that those [or they] should be joined to themselves together;

18and he made fifty buckles of brass by which the roof was fastened together, that one covering were made of all the says.

19He made also a covering of the tabernacle of the skins of rams made red, and another veil above, of the skins of jacinth.

20He made also [the] standing boards of the tabernacle, of the wood of shittim;

21the length of one board was of ten cubits, and the breadth held one cubit and an half.

22Two indentings [or rabbetings] were by each board, that the one should be joined to the tother; so he made in all the boards of the taber-nacle.

23Of which boards twenty were at the midday coast against the south,

24with forty bases of silver; two bases were set under one board on ever either side of the corners, where the indentings [or rabbetings] of the sides were ended in the corners.

25And at the coast of the tabernacle that beholdeth to the north, he made twenty boards,

26with forty bases of silver, two bases by each board.

27Forsooth against the west, he made six boards,

28and twain [or two] other boards by each corner of the tabernacle behind,

29which were joined from beneath till to above, and were borne into one joining altogether; so he made on ever either part by the corners,

30that they were eight boards altogether, and they had sixteen bases of silver, that is, two bases under each board.

31He made also bars of the wood of shittim, five bars to hold together the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32and five other bars to shape together the boards of the tother side; and without these, he made five other bars for the boards at the west coast of the tabernacle against the sea.

33He made also another bar, that should come by the middle boards, from corner till to corner.

34Forsooth he overgilded the walls made of the boards, and he melted out their silveren bases, and he made their golden rings, by which the bars might be brought in, and he covered those same bars with golden plates.

35He made also a veil diverse and parted, of jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and bis folded again, by the work of embroidery.

36 He made also four pillars of wood of shittim, which pillars with the hooks he overgilded, and he melted out their silveren bases.

37He made also in the entering of the tabernacle a curtain of jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and bis folded again, by the work of embroidery.

38And he made five pillars with their hooks, which he covered with gold; and he melted out their brazen bases, and their holdings, which he covered with gold.

Exodus 36

1Bezalel and Oholiab and every able man in whom the Lord has put ability 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.”

2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every able man in whose mind the Lord had put ability, every one whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work; 3and they received from Moses all the freewill offering which the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, 4so that all the able men who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, 5and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work which the Lord has commanded us to do.” 6So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let neither man nor woman do anything more for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing; 7for the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.

8 # Ex 26.1-14. And all the able men among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains; they were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet stuff, with cherubim skilfully worked. 9The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same measure.

10And he coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another. 11And he made loops of blue on the edge of the outmost curtain of the first set; likewise he made them on the edge of the outmost curtain of the second set; 12he 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. 13And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps; so the tabernacle was one whole.

14He also made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains. 15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains had the same measure. 16He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. 17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outmost curtain of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other connecting curtain. 18And he made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together that it might be one whole. 19And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins.

20 # Ex 26.15-29. Then he made the upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood. 21Ten cubits was the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame. 22Each frame had two tenons, for fitting together; he did this for all the frames of the tabernacle. 23The frames for the tabernacle he made thus: twenty frames for the south side; 24and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under another frame for its two tenons. 25And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames 26and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame and two bases under another frame. 27And for the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six frames. 28And he made two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear. 29And they were separate beneath, but joined at the top, at the first ring; he made two of them thus, for the two corners. 30There were eight frames with their bases of silver: sixteen bases, under every frame two bases.

31And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle, 32and 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. 33And he made the middle bar to pass through from end to end halfway up the frames. 34And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 # Ex 26.31-37. And he made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen; with cherubim skilfully worked he made it. 36And 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. 37He also made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework; 38and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze.
