Exodus 36

CLV(i) 1 So Bezalel and Aholiab will work, and every man wise of heart in whom Yahweh put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all the work of the service of the holy place according to all that Yahweh had instructed. 2 Then Moses called to Bezalel and to Aholiab and to every man wise of heart, to whom Yahweh had given wisdom in his heart, everyone whose heart prompted him to come near to the work to do it. 3 So they took from before Moses the entire heave offering which the sons of Israel brought for the work of the service of the holy place, to do it. And still they brought to him voluntary offerings morning by morning. 4 Then all the wise came, the ones doing all the work of the holy place, man by man, from his work which they were doing. 5 And they spoke to Moses, saying: The people have brought more than sufficient for the service of the work which Yahweh had instructed to do it. 6 So Moses instructed, and they caused a voice to pass in the camp, saying: Let not man or woman do further work for the heave offering of the holy place. Thus the people were forbidden to bring more, 7 since the work brought came to be sufficient for them for the entire work, to do it and to have reserve. 8 Then all the wise of heart among those doing the work made the tabernacle with ten sheets of corded cambric and blue, purple and double-dipped crimson; with cherubim, the handiwork of a designer, he made them. 9 The length of one sheet was twenty-eight cubits and the width four cubits for one sheet. One measure was for all the sheets. 10 And he joined five of the sheets one to another, and the five other sheets he joined one to another. 11 He made loops of blue on the hem of the one sheet at the end at the joining, and so he made in the hem of the endmost sheet at the second joining. 12 Fifty loops he made in one sheet, and fifty loops he made in the end of the sheet which was at the second joining, causing the loops to receive one to another. 13 And he made fifty links of gold and joined the sheets one to another by the links, and the tabernacle came to be one. 14 Then he made sheets of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle. Eleven sheets he made them. 15 The length of one sheet was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of one sheet, one measure for the eleven sheets. 16 And he joined five of the sheets by themselves alone and six of the sheets by themselves alone. 17 Then he made fifty loops on the hem of the endmost sheet at the joining, and he made fifty loops on the hem of the sheet at the second joining. 18 And he made fifty copper links to join the tent, for it to come to be one. 19 He also made a cover for the tent of reddened rams' hides, and a cover of azure hides above. 20 Then he made the hollow tapers for the tabernacle of standing acacia boards; 21 ten cubits was the length of one hollow taper, and a cubit and a half cubit the width of one hollow taper. 22 There were two sloping side boards to one hollow taper being projected one to another: thus he did for all the hollow tapers of the tabernacle. 23 And he made the hollow tapers for the tabernacle, twenty hollow tapers for the edge of the Negev southward;" 24 and forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty hollow tapers, two sockets under one hollow taper for its two sloping side boards, and two sockets under another hollow taper for its two sloping side boards. 25 Also for the second angle wall of the tabernacle for the north edge he made twenty hollow tapers, 26 with their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one hollow taper and two sockets under another hollow taper. 27 Yet for the flanks of the tabernacle seaward he made six hollow tapers; 28 and two hollow tapers he made for the cutout corners of the tabernacle, in the flanks. 29 Then couplings came to be below, and they came to be coupled together to its top by the first ring. Thus he did for the two of them, for the two cutout corners. 30 There came to be eight hollow tapers and their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets for each, two sockets under one hollow taper. 31 Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the hollow tapers of one angle wall of the tabernacle, 32 also five bars for the hollow tapers of the second angle wall of the tabernacle and five bars for the hollow tapers of the tabernacle for the flanks seaward; 33 and he made the middle bar in the midst of the hollow tapers to reach from end to end. 34 The hollow tapers he overlaid with gold; and their rings he made of gold, as housings for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold. 35 He made the curtain of blue, purple, double-dipped crimson and corded cambric; the handiwork of a designer of cherubim he made it. 36 He made for it four columns of acacia, and he overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. 37 Then he made a portiere for the portal of the tent of blue, purple, double-dipped crimson and corded cambric; the handiwork of an embroiderer. 38 As for its five columns and their hooks, he overlaid their heads and their connections with gold; and their five sockets were of copper.
