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
1Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled # Lit wise of heart people are to work based on everything the Lord has commanded. The Lord has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary.” # Ex 25:8; 28:3; 31:6; 35:10,35
2So Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled # Lit wise of heart person in whose heart the Lord had placed wisdom, everyone whose heart moved him, # Ex 25:2; 35:21,26; 1Ch 29:5 to come to the work and do it. 3They took from Moses’ presence all the contributions that the Israelites had brought for the task of making the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.
4Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing 5and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed # 2Ch 31:10; 2Co 8:2-3 for the construction of the work the Lord commanded to be done.”
6After Moses gave an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: “Let no man or woman make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” So the people stopped. 7The materials were sufficient for them to do all the work. There was more than enough.
Building the Tabernacle
8All # Ex 26:1-14 the skilled craftsmen # Lit the wise of heart among those doing the work made the tabernacle with 10 curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them. 9The length of each curtain was 42 feet, # Lit 28 cubits and the width of each curtain six feet; # Lit four cubits all the curtains had the same measurements. 10He joined five of the curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he joined to each other. 11He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set and did the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set. 12He made 50 loops on the one curtain and 50 loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other. 13He also made 50 gold clasps and joined the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle became a single unit.
14He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made 11 of them. 15The length of each curtain was 45 feet, # Lit 30 cubits and the width of each curtain six feet. # Lit four cubits All 11 curtains had the same measurements. 16He joined five of the curtains together, and the other six together. 17He made 50 loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set and 50 loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set. 18He made 50 bronze clasps to join the tent together as a single unit. 19He also made a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of manatee skins # Or of dolphin skins, or of fine leather ; Hb obscure on top of it.
20He # Ex 25:5; 26:15-29 made upright planks # Or made frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 21The length of each plank was 15 feet, # Lit 10 cubits and the width of each was 27 inches. # Lit a cubit and a half 22There were two tenons connected to each other for each plank. He did the same for all the planks of the tabernacle. 23He made planks for the tabernacle as follows: 20 for the south side, 24and he made 40 silver bases to put under the 20 planks, two bases under the first plank for its two tenons, and two bases under each of the following planks for their two tenons; 25for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made 20 planks, 26with their 40 silver bases, two bases under the first plank and two bases under each of the following ones; 27and for the west side of the tabernacle he made six planks. 28He also made two additional planks for the two back corners of the tabernacle. 29They were paired at the bottom and joined together # Lit and together they are to be complete at the # Lit its top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners. 30So there were eight planks with their 16 silver bases, two bases under each one.
31He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the planks on one side of the tabernacle, 32five crossbars for the planks on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for those at the back of the tabernacle on the west. 33He made the central crossbar run through the middle of the planks from one end to the other. 34He overlaid them with gold and made their rings out of gold as holders for the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
35Then # Ex 26:31-37 he made the veil with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. He made it with a design of cherubim worked into it. 36He made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold. And he cast four silver bases for the posts.
37He made a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen for the entrance to the tent, 38together with its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.
