1Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.
1“Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD has commanded.”
2And when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,
2Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it.
3He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.
3They received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They kept bringing free will offerings to him every morning.
4Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,
4All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which he did.
5Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
5They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make.”
6Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier’s voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,
6Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing.
7Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.
7For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and too much.
8And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:
8All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet. They made them with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.
9The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.
9The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.
10He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,
11He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling.
12That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.
12He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite to one another.
13Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.
13He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.
14He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
14He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
15One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.
15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.
16Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
16He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.
17He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second coupling.
18And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
18He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.
19He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.
19He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.
20He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
20He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.
21The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.
21Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board.
22There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.
22Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.
23Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
23He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.
24With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.
24He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.
25For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards
26With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
26and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,
27For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
28He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.
29Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:
29They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did this to both of them in the two corners.
30So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
30There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets—under every board two sockets.
31He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,
31He made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.
32and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.
33He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.
33He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other.
34And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.
34He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
35He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.
36And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.
36He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.
37He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.
37He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
38And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
38and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.
