Exodus 36
36
More Than Enough!
1“So Bezalel and Oholiab are to work, along with every wise-hearted man in whom Adonai has placed insight and understanding to know how to perform all the labor for the service of the Sanctuary, according to everything Adonai has commanded.”
2Then Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab and all the wise-hearted men in whose minds Adonai had set wisdom, along with everyone whose heart stirred him up to come do the work.
3They received from Moses the entire offering that Bnei-Yisrael had brought for the work of the service of the Sanctuary, to build it. They brought freewill offerings to him morning after morning.
4Then all the skilled men who were doing all the work of the Sanctuary came, one by one from the work he was doing,
5and said to Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for the work of this construction that Adonai has commanded to be done.”
6So Moses gave an order, and they proclaimed it throughout the camp saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else as an offering for the Sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing more.
7For the work material they had was sufficient for all the work, with much left over.
8So all the wise-hearted men among them did the work. They made the Tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen, along with blue, purple and scarlet, with cheruvim—the work of a skillful craftsman.
9The length of each curtain was 28 cubits and the width of each curtain was four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10Then he coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he also coupled together.
11He made blue loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost within the first set. He did the same along the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.
12He made 50 loops in one curtain and 50 loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set, so that the loops were opposite to one another.
13Also he made 50 clasps of gold and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps, so the Tabernacle was one.
14Then he made curtains from goat hair for a tent over the Tabernacle. He made 11 curtains.
15The length of each curtain was 30 cubits, and the width of each was four cubits. The 11 curtains had one measure.
16He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six other curtains by themselves.
17He made 50 loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first set and 50 loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.
18Also he made 50 bronze clasps to couple the tent together, so that it would be one.
19Then he made a covering for the tent of ram skins, dyed red, along with a covering of sealskins above.
20He also made the framework of boards for the Tabernacle from acacia wood, standing upright.
21The length of a board was ten cubits, the width was a cubit and a half.
22Each board had two supports, joined one to another. He did this for all the boards of the Tabernacle.
23So he built the boards for the Tabernacle, 20 boards from the south side southward.
24And he made 40 silver bases under the 20 boards, two bases under one board for its two supports, and two bases under another board for its two supports.
25Also for the second side of the Tabernacle, on the north side, he made 20 boards,
26along with their 40 silver bases, two under one board and two under the next.
27For the back part of the Tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28He also made two boards for the corners of the Tabernacle in the back,
29so that they could be doubled underneath, and in same way to be fixed to the top, at the first ring. He did this for both of them at the two corners.
30So there were eight boards, along with their silver bases, 16 in all, two under each board.
31Then he made crossbars from acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the Tabernacle,
32five for the boards on the other side of the Tabernacle, and five crossbars for the boards of the Tabernacle for the back part, westward.
33He built the middle crossbar to pass through, in the center of the boards, from one end to the other.
34He overlaid the boards with gold and made golden rings for them, as holders for the crossbars, and overlaid the crossbars with gold.
35Then he made the curtain of blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen, along with the cheruvim, the work of a skillful craftsman.
36He made four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold, having golden hooks, and he cast four silver bases for them.
37Then he made a parokhet for the entrance of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen, the work of a color weaver.
38Also he made the five pillars with their hooks, and overlaid their capitals and bands with gold, along with their five bronze bases.

Exodus 36
36
1“Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”
2Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it. 3They received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They kept bringing free will offerings to him every morning. 4All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which he did. 5They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make.”
6Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else 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 too much.
8All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet. They made them with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman. 9The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,#36:9 A cubit is the length from the tip of the middle finger to the elbow on a man’s arm, or about 18 inches or 46 centimeters. and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure. 10He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another. 11He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling. 12He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite to one another. 13He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
14He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains. 15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure. 16He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. 17He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second coupling. 18He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit. 19He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
20He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up. 21Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board. 22Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way. 23He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward. 24He made 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. 25For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards 26and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 27For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. 28He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part. 29They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did this to both of them in the two corners. 30There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets—under every board two sockets.
31He made bars of acacia 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 hinder part westward. 33He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other. 34He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman. 36He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them. 37He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer; 38and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.
