Exo 36:1

“Now Bezalel and Oholiab and every person [fn]wise at heart, to whom Yahweh has given [fn]wisdom and discernment to know how to do all the work of the service of constructing the sanctuary, shall do in accordance with all that Yahweh has commanded.”

Making the Tabernacle

Exo 36:2

Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every person [fn]wise at heart to whom Yahweh had given [fn]wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to do it.

Exo 36:3And they received from Moses the entire [fn]contribution which the sons of Israel had brought [fn]to do the work in the service of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.
Exo 36:4And all the [fn]wise men who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [fn]the work which [fn]he was doing,
Exo 36:5and they said to [fn]Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded us to [fn]do.”
Exo 36:6So Moses commanded and a [fn]proclamation was passed throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer do the work for the [fn]contributions of the sanctuary.” Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more.
Exo 36:7Indeed, the [fn]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to do it.
Exo 36:8

And all those [fn]wise at heart among those who were doing the work made the [fn]tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer, [fn]Bezalel made them.

Exo 36:9The length of each curtain was [fn]twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four [fn]cubits; all the curtains had [fn]the same measurements.
Exo 36:10He [fn]joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he [fn]joined to one another.
Exo 36:11He made loops of [fn]blue on the edge of the [fn]outermost curtain in the first [fn]set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was [fn]outermost in the second [fn]set.
Exo 36:12He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the [fn]edge of the curtain that was in the second [fn]set; the loops were opposite each other.
Exo 36:13He made fifty clasps of gold and [fn]joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was one unit.
Exo 36:14

Then he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains [fn]in all.

Exo 36:15The length of each curtain was [fn]thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had [fn]the same measurements.
Exo 36:16He [fn]joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves.
Exo 36:17Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first [fn]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second [fn]set.
Exo 36:18He made fifty clasps of [fn]bronze to [fn]join the tent together so that it would be [fn]a unit.
Exo 36:19He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins [fn]dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.
Exo 36:20

Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.

Exo 36:21Ten cubits was the length of [fn]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.
Exo 36:22There were two tenons for each board, [fn]fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.
Exo 36:23And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [fn]for the south side;
Exo 36:24and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards; two bases under one board for its two tenons and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
Exo 36:25Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
Exo 36:26and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board and two bases under another board.
Exo 36:27For the [fn]rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards.
Exo 36:28And he made two boards for the corners of the [fn]tabernacle at the [fn]rear.
Exo 36:29And they were [fn]separated beneath, but were together at their completion at the [fn]top, [fn]at the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners.
Exo 36:30And there were eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases, two bases under every board.
Exo 36:31

Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

Exo 36:32and five bars for the boards of the [fn]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the [fn]rear side to the west.
Exo 36:33And he made the middle bar to pass through in the [fn]center of the boards from end to end.
Exo 36:34He also overlaid the boards with gold and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars and overlaid the bars with gold.
Exo 36:35

Moreover, he made the veil of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer.

Exo 36:36And he made four pillars of acacia for it and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four bases of silver for them.
Exo 36:37And he made a screen for the doorway of the tent, of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a [fn]weaver;
Exo 36:38and he made its five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their [fn]bands with gold; but their five bases were of [fn]bronze.
