Chapter 36

Then wrought¹ Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put¹ wisdom and understanding to know² how to work² all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.¹⁴

And Moses called⁴ Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put¹ wisdom, [even] every one whose heart stirred him up¹ to come² unto the work to do² it:

And they received⁴ of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought⁵² for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make² it [withal]. And they brought⁵² yet unto him free offerings every morning. ¹²⁴²

And all the wise men, that wrought⁶ all the work of the sanctuary, came⁴ every man from his work which they made;⁶

And they spake⁴ unto Moses, saying,² The people bring⁵³ much more⁵⁶ than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded¹⁴ to make.²

And Moses gave commandment,¹⁷ and they caused it to be proclaimed ^{5674 55} throughout the camp, saying,² Let neither man nor woman make⁴ any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained¹¹ from bringing.⁵³

For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make² it, and too much.⁵³

And every wise hearted man among them that wrought⁶ the work of the tabernacle made⁴ ten curtains [of] fine twined⁹⁴ linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: ⁸⁴³⁸ [with] cherubims of cunning⁶ work made¹ he them.

The length of one curtain [was] twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains [were] all of one size.

And he coupled¹⁷ the five curtains one unto another: and [the other] five curtains he coupled¹⁴ one unto another.

And he made⁴ loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made¹ in the uttermost side of [another] curtain, in the coupling of the second.

Fifty loops made¹ he in one curtain, and fifty loops made¹ he in the edge of the curtain which [was] in the coupling of the second: the loops held⁵⁶ one [curtain] to another.

And he made⁴ fifty taches of gold, and coupled¹⁷ the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

And he made⁴ curtains [of] goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven ⁶²⁴⁰ curtains he made¹ them.

The length of one curtain [was] thirty cubits, and four cubits [was] the breadth of one curtain: the eleven ⁶²⁴⁰ curtains [were] of one size.

And he coupled¹⁷ five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

And he made⁴ fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made¹ he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

And he made⁴ fifty taches [of] brass to couple¹⁵ the tent together, that it might be one.

And he made⁴ a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red,³⁰ and a covering [of] badgers' skins above [that].

And he made⁴ boards for the tabernacle [of] shittim wood, standing up.⁶

The length of a board [was] ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.

One board had two tenons, equally distant³⁰ one from another: thus did he make¹ for all the boards of the tabernacle.

And he made⁴ boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:

And forty sockets of silver he made¹ under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

And for the other side of the tabernacle, [which is] toward the north corner, he made¹ twenty boards,

And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made¹ six boards.

And two boards made¹ he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

And they were coupled⁶ beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did¹ to both of them in both the corners.

And there were eight boards; and their sockets [were] sixteen ⁶²⁴⁰ sockets of silver, under every board two ⁸¹⁴⁷ sockets. ¹³⁴

And he made⁴ bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

And he made⁴ the middle bar to shoot² through the boards from the one end to the other.

And he overlaid¹⁴ the boards with gold, and made¹ their rings [of] gold [to be] places for the bars, and overlaid¹⁷ the bars with gold.

And he made⁴ a vail [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, ⁸⁴³⁸ and fine twined⁹⁴ linen: [with] cherubims made¹ he it of cunning⁶ work.

And he made⁴ thereunto four pillars [of] shittim [wood], and overlaid¹⁷ them with gold: their hooks [were of] gold; and he cast⁴ for them four sockets of silver.

And he made⁴ an hanging for the tabernacle door [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, ⁸⁴³⁸ and fine twined⁹⁴ linen, of needlework;^{6 4639}

And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid¹⁴ their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets [were of] brass.
