1 Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the Lord had given wisdom and understanding to know how to carry out all the work of the sanctuary service, shall do everything the Lord has commanded.

Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

2 Then Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whose heart the Lord had given wisdom, everyone whose heart was stirred to come forward to do the work.

And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

3 They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought for the work of constructing the sanctuary. Still, the people continued to bring freewill offerings every morning.

And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

4 So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,

And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

5 and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for the work the Lord has commanded us to do."

And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

6 Then Moses gave an order, and they sent this proclamation throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." And so the people were restrained from bringing more,

And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

7 because what they already had was sufficient for all the work to be done, and there was even some left over.

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

8 All the skilled workers among them made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully woven into them.

And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

9 Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size.

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.

10 They joined five of the curtains together and joined the other five curtains together as well.

And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

11 They made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set and did the same along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.

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

12 They made fifty loops on the edge of one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the end curtain in the other set, with the loops opposite each other.

Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.

13 Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to join the curtains together so that the tabernacle was a single unit.

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

14 They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle, making eleven in all.

And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

15 Each curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all eleven curtains were the same size.

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

16 They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set.

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

17 They made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.

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

18 They also made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as one unit.

And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

19 They made a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of durable leather.

And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.

20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.

21 Each frame was ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

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

22 Each frame had two tenons, joined to one another. They made all the frames of the tabernacle this way.

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

23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle.

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

24 And they made forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames—two bases for each frame, one under each tenon.

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

25 For the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames.

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

26 And they made forty silver bases—two under each frame.

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

27 They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle.

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

28 And they made two frames for the corners at the far end.

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

29 The frames at the corners were paired at the bottom and joined at the top by a single ring. They made both corner frames this way for the two corners.

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

30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.

31 They made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

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

32 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames at the far end, the west end 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.

33 They made the center crossbar so that it ran from end to end at the middle of the frames.

And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.

34 They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 They made the curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.

And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.

36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They cast four silver bases for the posts, and the hooks of the posts were made of gold.

And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.

37 For the entrance to the tent, they made a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer.

And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;

38 They made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and cast their five bases of bronze.

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