Exodus 36
36
1“Bezalel, therefore, will set to work with Oholiab and with all the artisans whom the Lord has endowed with skill and understanding in knowing how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, just as the Lord has commanded.”#Ex 31:1, 6.
2Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other artisans whom the Lord had endowed with skill, men whose hearts moved them to come and do the work. 3They received from Moses all the contributions which the Israelites had brought for the work to be done for the sanctuary service. Still, morning after morning the people continued to bring their voluntary offerings to Moses. 4Thereupon all the artisans who were doing the work for the sanctuary came from the work each was doing, 5and told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than is needed to carry out the work which the Lord has commanded us to do.” 6Moses, therefore, ordered a proclamation to be made throughout the camp: “Let neither man nor woman make any more contributions for the sanctuary.” So the people stopped bringing their offerings; 7there was already enough at hand, and more than enough, to complete the work to be done.
The Tent Cloth and Coverings. 8#Ex 26:1–14. The various artisans who were doing the work made the tabernacle with its ten sheets woven of fine linen twined, having cherubim embroidered on them with violet, purple, and scarlet yarn. 9The length of each sheet was twenty-eight cubits, and the width four cubits; all the sheets were the same size. 10Five of the sheets were joined together, edge to edge; and the other five sheets likewise, edge to edge. 11Loops of violet yarn were made along the edge of the end sheet in the first set, and the same along the edge of the end sheet in the second set. 12Fifty loops were thus put on one inner sheet, and fifty loops on the inner sheet in the other set, with the loops directly opposite each other. 13Then fifty clasps of gold were made, with which the sheets were joined so that the tabernacle formed one whole.
14Sheets of goat hair were also woven as a tent over the tabernacle. Eleven such sheets were made. 15The length of each sheet was thirty cubits and the width four cubits; all eleven sheets were the same size. 16Five of these sheets were joined into one set, and the other six sheets into another set. 17Fifty loops were made along the edge of the end sheet in one set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding sheet in the other set. 18Fifty bronze clasps were made with which the tent was joined so that it formed one whole. 19A covering for the tent was made of rams’ skins dyed red and, above that, a covering of tahash skins.
The Framework. 20#Ex 26:15–29. Frames were made for the tabernacle, acacia-wood uprights. 21The length of each frame was ten cubits, and the width one and a half cubits. 22Each frame had two arms, fastening them one to another. In this way all the frames of the tabernacle were made. 23The frames for the tabernacle were made as follows: twenty frames on the south side, 24with forty silver pedestals under the twenty frames, two pedestals under each frame for its two arms; 25twenty frames on the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, 26with their forty silver pedestals, two pedestals under each frame. 27At the rear of the tabernacle, to the west, six frames were made, 28and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle, at its rear. 29These were double at the bottom, and likewise double at the top, to the first ring. That is how both corner frames were made. 30Thus, there were eight frames, with their sixteen silver pedestals, two pedestals under each frame. 31Bars of acacia wood were also made, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 32five for those on the other side, and five for those at the rear, to the west. 33The center bar, at the middle of the frames, was made to reach across from end to end. 34The frames were plated with gold, and gold rings were made on them as holders for the bars, which were also plated with gold.
The Veil. 35#Ex 26:31–37. The veil was made of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of fine linen twined, with cherubim embroidered on it. 36Four gold-plated columns of acacia wood, with gold hooks, were made for it, and four silver pedestals were cast for them.
37The curtain for the entrance of the tent was made of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of fine linen twined, woven in a variegated manner. 38Its five columns, with their hooks as well as their capitals and bands, were plated with gold; their five pedestals were of bronze.

1 And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone who is skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary—they will do it, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”
Making the Tabernacle
2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it. 3And they took from Moses all the contributions#Hebrew “contribution” that the Israelites#Literally “sons/children of Israel” had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings every morning.#Literally “in the morning in the morning” 4And all the skilled workers who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came, each#Literally “man man” from his work that they were doing. 5And they said to Moses, saying, “The people are bringing more#Literally “making much to bring” than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”#Literally “to do it” 6And Moses commanded, and they proclaimed the message#Literally “caused a voice to cross through” in the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution.” And so the people were restrained from bringing. 7And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.
8And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman. 9The length of the one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measurement was for all the curtains. 10And he joined five of the curtains one to another,#Literally “one to one” and five curtains he joined one to another.#Literally “one to one” 11And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; so he did on the edge of the end curtain in the second set. 12He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite#Or “interlinked” or “matching” one to another.#Literally “one to one” 13And he made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains one to another#Literally “one to one” with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was one.
14And he made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made them eleven curtains. 15The length of the one curtain was thirty cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measure was for the eleven curtains. 16And he joined five curtains together and six curtains together. 17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set. 18And he made fifty bronze clasps for joining the tent to become one.
19And he made a covering for the tent of red-dyed ram skin and a covering of fine leather to go above.
20And he made the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the tabernacle of acacia wood as uprights.#Literally “standing” 21The length of the frame#Or “board” or “plank” was ten cubits, and the width of the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” was one and a half cubits. 22He made two pegs#Literally “hands” for the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” for joining one to another#Literally “one to one” and likewise for all the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” of the tabernacle. 23And he made the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the tabernacle with twenty frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the south#Or “southward southward” side. 24And he made forty silver bases under the twenty frames,#Or “boards” or “planks” with two bases under the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” for its two pegs#Literally “hands” and two bases under the next#Literally “one” frame#Or “board” or “plank” for its two pegs.#Literally “hands” 25And for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames#Or “boards” or “planks” 26and their forty silver bases, with two bases under the one frame#Or “board” or “plank” and two bases under the next#Literally “one” frame.#Or “board” or “plank”
27And for the rear of the tabernacle on the west#Or “westward,” literally “seaward,” toward the Mediterranean Sea he made six frames.#Or “boards” or “planks” 28And he made two frames#Or “boards” or “planks” for the tabernacle corners at the rear. 29And they were double at the bottom, and they were completely together on its top to the one ring; he did likewise for the two of them, for the two corners. 30And there were eight frames#Or “boards” or “planks” and their sixteen silver bases, two bases, two bases under the one frame.#Or “board” or “plank”
31And he made five bars of acacia wood for the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” on the one side of the tabernacle, 32and five bars for the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” at the rear on the west.#Or “westward,” literally “seaward,” toward the Mediterranean Sea 33And he made the middle bar to run in the midst of the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” from end to end. 34And he overlaid the frames#Or “boards” or “planks” with gold, and he made their rings of gold as holders#Literally “houses” for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold. 35And he made the curtain of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of a craftsman; he made it with cherubim. 36And he made for it four acacia pillars, and he overlaid them with gold, with their gold hooks, and he cast for them four silver bases.
37And he made for the entrance of the tent a screen of blue and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, 38and the five pillars and their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their connections with gold, and their five bases were bronze.
