Exodus 36 :: New English Translation (NET)

Exo 36:1

Exo 36:1So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the LORD has put skill and ability to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary are to do the work according to all that the LORD has commanded."

Exo 36:2

Exo 36:2Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the LORD had put skill - everyone whose heart stirred him to volunteer to do the work,

Exo 36:3

Exo 36:3and they received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do the work for the service of the sanctuary, and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning.

Exo 36:4

Exo 36:4So all the skilled people who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came from the work they were doing

Exo 36:5

Exo 36:5and told Moses, "The people are bringing much more than is needed for the completion of the work which the LORD commanded us to do!"

Exo 36:6

Exo 36:6Moses instructed them to take his message throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing any more.

Exo 36:7

Exo 36:7Now the materials were more than enough for them to do all the work.

Exo 36:21The length of each frame was fifteen feet, the width of each frame was two and a quarter feet,

Exo 36:22

Exo 36:22with two projections per frame parallel one to another. He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

Exo 36:23

Exo 36:23So he made frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side.

Exo 36:24

Exo 36:24He made forty silver bases under the twenty frames - two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise two bases under the next frame for its two projections,

Exo 36:25

Exo 36:25and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames

Exo 36:26

Exo 36:26and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame and two bases under the next frame.

Exo 36:27

Exo 36:27And for the back of the tabernacle on the west he made six frames.

Exo 36:28He made two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back.

Exo 36:29

Exo 36:29At the two corners they were doubled at the lower end and finished together at the top in one ring. So he did for both.

Exo 36:30

Exo 36:30So there were eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under each frame.

Exo 36:31

Exo 36:31He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle

Exo 36:32

Exo 36:32and five bars for the frames on the second side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle for the back side on the west.
