Then wroughtBezaleel and Aholiab, and every wiseheartedman, in whom the LORDputwisdom 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 MosescalledBezaleel and Aholiab, and every wiseheartedman, in whose heart the LORD had putwisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
3
And they receivedofMoses 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 peoplebring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORDcommanded to make.
6
And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed* throughout the camp,saying, Let neither man nor womanmake 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 tabernaclemadetencurtains of fine twinedlinen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet*: with cherubims of cunningworkmade he them.
9
The length of onecurtain was twenty and eightcubits, and the breadth of onecurtainfourcubits: the curtains were all of onesize.
10
And he coupled the fivecurtainsone unto another: and the other fivecurtains he coupledone unto another.
11
And he madeloops of blue on the edge of onecurtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermostside of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.
12
Fiftyloopsmade he in onecurtain, and fiftyloopsmade he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loopsheldone curtain to another.
13
And he madefiftytaches of gold, and coupled the curtainsone unto another with the taches: so it became onetabernacle.
14
And he madecurtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle:eleven*curtains he made them.
15
The length of onecurtain was thirtycubits, and fourcubits was the breadth of onecurtain: the eleven*curtains were of onesize.
16
And he coupledfivecurtains by themselves, and sixcurtains by themselves.
17
And he madefiftyloops upon the uttermostedge of the curtain in the coupling, and fiftyloopsmade he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
18
And he madefiftytaches of brass to couple the tenttogether, that it might be one.
19
And he made a covering for the tent of rams'skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers'skinsabove that.
20
And he madeboards for the tabernacle of shittimwood, standing up.
21
The length of a board was tencubits, and the breadth of a boardonecubit and a half.
22
Oneboard had twotenons, equally distantonefromanother: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23
And he madeboards for the tabernacle;twentyboards for the southsidesouthward:
24
And fortysockets of silver he made under the twentyboards;twosockets under oneboard for his twotenons, and twosockets under anotherboard for his twotenons.
25
And for the otherside of the tabernacle, which is toward the northcorner, he madetwentyboards,
26
And their fortysockets of silver;twosockets under oneboard, and twosockets under anotherboard.
27
And for the sides of the tabernaclewestward he madesixboards.
28
And twoboardsmade he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29
And they were coupled[a]beneath, and coupledtogether at the head thereof, to onering: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.
30
And there were eightboards; and their sockets were sixteen*sockets of silver, under everyboardtwo*sockets*.
31
And he madebars of shittimwood;five for the boards of the oneside of the tabernacle,
32
And fivebars for the boards of the otherside of the tabernacle, and fivebars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sideswestward.
33
And he made the middlebar to shootthrough 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 twinedlinen: with cherubimsmade he it of cunningwork.
36
And he made thereunto fourpillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them foursockets of silver.
37
And he made an hanging for the tabernacledoor of blue, and purple, and scarlet*, and fine twinedlinen, of needlework*;[b]
