Verse 1

"Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yahweh has commanded."

Verse 2

Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:

Verse 3

and they 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 brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.

Verse 4

All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.

Verse 5

They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."

Verse 6

Moses gave 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.

Verse 7

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

Verse 8

All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made them.

Verse 10

He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

Verse 11

He 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 outmost in the second coupling.

Verse 12

He 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 one to another.

Verse 13

Verse 21

Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.

Verse 22

Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.

Verse 23

He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward.

Verse 24

He 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.

For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,

Verse 26

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

Verse 27

For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

Verse 28

He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

Verse 29

They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did thus to both of them in the two corners.

Verse 30

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

Verse 31

He made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

Verse 32

and 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.

Verse 33

He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.

Verse 34

He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

Verse 35

He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.

Verse 36

He 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.

Verse 37

He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

Verse 38

and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of brass.
