Exodus 36
1 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 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 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 And all the wise
men, that
wrought all the
work of the
sanctuary, came every
man from his
work which they
made;
5 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 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 For the
stuff they had was
sufficient for all the
work to
make it, and too
much.
8 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 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 And he
coupled the
five curtains one unto
another: and the other
five curtains he
coupled one unto
another. 11 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 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 And he
made fifty taches of
gold, and
coupled the
curtains one unto
another with the
taches: so it became
one tabernacle. 14 And he
made curtains of
goats' hair for the
tent over the
tabernacle: eleven curtains he
made them.
15 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 And he
coupled five curtains by themselves, and
six curtains by themselves.
17 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 And he
made fifty taches of
brass to
couple the
tent together, that it might be
one. 19 And he
made a
covering for the
tent of
rams' skins dyed
red, and a
covering of
badgers' skins above that.
20 And he
made boards for the
tabernacle of
shittim wood, standing
up.
21 The
length of a
board was
ten cubits, and the
breadth of a
board one cubit and a
half. 22 One board had
two tenons, equally
distant one from another: thus did he
make for all the
boards of the
tabernacle. 23 And he
made boards for the
tabernacle; twenty boards for the
south side southward: 24 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 And for the
other side of the
tabernacle, which is toward the
north corner, he
made twenty boards, 26 And their
forty sockets of
silver; two sockets under
one board, and
two sockets under
another board. 27 And for the
sides of the
tabernacle westward he
made six boards. 28 And
two boards made he for the
corners of the
tabernacle in the two
sides. 29 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 And there were
eight boards; and their
sockets were
sixteen sockets of
silver, under
every board two sockets.
31 And he
made bars of
shittim wood; five for the
boards of the
one side of the
tabernacle, 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
sides westward. 33 And he
made the
middle bar to
shoot through the
boards from the one
end to the
other. 34 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 And he
made a
vail of
blue, and
purple, and
scarlet, and fine
twined linen: with
cherubims made he it of
cunning work. 36 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 And he
made an
hanging for the
tabernacle door of
blue, and
purple, and
scarlet, and fine
twined linen, of
needlework ;
38 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.
