Exodus 36
36
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.

Exodus 36
36
1The Lord has given to Bezalel, Oholiab, and others the skills needed for building a place of worship, and they will follow the Lord's instructions.
2Then Moses brought together these workers who were eager to work, 3and he gave them the gifts that the people of Israel had donated for building the place of worship. In fact, so much was being given each morning, 4that finally everyone stopped working 5and said, “Moses, there is already more than we need for what the Lord has assigned us to do.” 6So Moses sent word for the people to stop giving, and they did. 7But there was already more than enough to do what needed to be done.
The Curtains and Coverings for the Sacred Tent
(Exodus 26.1-14)
8-9The skilled workers got together to make the sacred tent and its linen curtains that were woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. Each of the ten panels was twelve meters long and two meters wide, 10and they were sewn together to make two curtains with five panels each. 11-13Then 50 loops of blue cloth were put along one of the wider sides of each curtain, and the two curtains were fastened together at the loops with 50 gold hooks.
14-15As the material for protecting the tent, goat hair was used to weave eleven sections 13 meters by 2 meters each. 16These eleven sections were joined to make two panels, one with five and the other with six sections. 17Fifty loops were put along one of the wider sides of each panel, 18and the two panels were fastened at the loops with 50 bronze hooks. 19Two other coverings were made—one with fine leather and the other with ram skins dyed red.
The Framework for the Sacred Tent
(Exodus 26.15-30)
20Acacia wood was used to build the framework for the walls of the sacred tent. 21Each frame was 4 meters high and 66 centimeters wide 22-26with two wooden pegs near the bottom. Then two silver stands were placed under each frame with sockets for the pegs, so they could be joined together. Twenty of these frames were used along the south side and 20 more along the north. 27Six frames were used for the back wall along the west side 28-29with two more at the southwest and northwest corners. These corner frames were joined from top to bottom. 30Altogether, along the back wall there were eight frames with two silver stands under each of them.
31-33Five crossbars were made for each of the wooden frames, with the center crossbar running the full length of the wall. 34The frames and crossbars were covered with gold, and gold rings were attached to the frames to run the crossbars through.
The Inside Curtain for the Sacred Tent
(Exodus 26.31-37)
35They made the inside curtain#36.35 inside curtain: Separating the holy place from the most holy place. of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool, and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. 36They also made four acacia wood posts and covered them with gold. Then gold rings were fastened to the posts, which were set on silver stands.
37For the entrance to the tent, they used a curtain of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with fancy needlework. 38They made five posts, covered them completely with gold, and set each of them on a gold-covered bronze stand. Finally, they attached hooks for the curtain.
