Exodus 36

Common English Bible CEB

1 "Let Bezalel, Oholiab, and every other skilled worker whom the LORD has given skill, ability, and knowledge for the work of building the sanctuary do all that the LORD has commanded."

2 Moses then called together Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the LORD had given skill and who was eager to come and do the work.

3 Moses gave them all the gift offerings that the Israelites had contributed to the work on the sanctuary. They kept bringing him spontaneous gifts, morning after morning.

4 Finally, all the skilled workers building the sanctuary left their work that they were doing one by one to come

5 and say to Moses, "The people are contributing way too much material for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do."

6 So Moses issued a command that was proclaimed throughout the camp: "Every man and woman should stop making gift offerings for the sanctuary project." So the people stopped bringing anything more

7 because what they had already brought was more than enough to do all the work.

8 All the skilled workers made the dwelling out of ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and deep red yarns, with figures of winged heavenly creatures worked into their design.

9 Each curtain was forty-two feet long and six feet wide. All the curtains were the same size.

10 They joined five of the curtains to each other and joined the other five curtains to each other.

11 They made loops of blue thread on the edge of the outer curtain of the first set. They did the same on the edge of the outer curtain of the second set.

12 They made fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the outer curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite each other.

13 They also made fifty gold clasps, and they used the clasps to join the curtains to each other so that the dwelling was one whole structure.

14 They also made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the dwelling. They made eleven curtains.

15 Each curtain was forty-five feet long and each curtain six feet wide. All eleven curtains were the same size.

16 They joined five curtains together and the six other curtains together.

17 They made fifty loops on the edge of the outer curtain of the one set and fifty loops on the edge of the other set of curtains.

18 They made fifty copper clasps to join the tent together so that it would be one whole structure.

19 They also made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red and an outer covering of beaded leather.

20 Then they made acacia-wood boards to stand upright as a frame for the dwelling.

21 Each board was fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.

22 Each board had two pegs for joining them to each other. They did this for all the dwelling's boards.

23 They made twenty boards for the dwelling's southern side.

24 They made forty silver bases under the twenty boards, with two bases under the first board for its two pegs, two bases under the next board for its two pegs, and so on.

25 For the dwelling's other side on the north, they made twenty boards

26 and forty silver bases, two bases under the first board, two bases under the next board, and so on.

27 For the back of the dwelling on the west, they made six boards.

28 They made two additional boards for the dwelling's rear corners.

29 They were spread out at the bottom but joined together at the top with one ring. In this way, these two boards formed the two corners.

30 And so there were eight boards with their sixteen silver bases, with two bases under every board.

31 They also made acacia-wood bars: five for the boards on one side of the dwelling,

32 five bars for the boards on the other side of the dwelling, and five bars for the boards on the back wall of the dwelling on the west.

33 They made the middle bar, which was halfway up the boards, run from one end to the other.

34 They covered the boards with gold. They made gold rings to house the bars and covered the bars with gold.

35 They made the veil of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen, with figures of winged heavenly creatures worked into its design.

36 They made for it four acacia-wood posts covered in gold with gold hooks and cast four silver bases for them.

37 They made a screen for the entrance to the tent of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen, decorated with needlework.

38 They made its five posts with hooks. They covered their tops and bands with gold, but made their five bases out of copper.

The Message Bible MSG

1 "Bezalel and Oholiab, along with everyone whom God has given the skill and know-how for making everything involved in the worship of the Sanctuary as commanded by God, are to start to work."

2 Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab along with all whom God had gifted with the ability to work skillfully with their hands. The men were eager to get started and engage in the work.

3 They took from Moses all the offerings that the Israelites had brought for the work of constructing the Sanctuary. The people kept on bringing in their freewill offerings, morning after morning.

4 All the artisans who were at work making everything involved in constructing the Sanctuary came, one after another,

5 to Moses, saying, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing this work that God has commanded us to do!"

6 So Moses sent out orders through the camp: "Men! Women! No more offerings for the building of the Sanctuary!"

7 There was plenty of material for all the work to be done. Enough and more than enough. The Tapestries

8 Then all the skilled artisans on The Dwelling made ten tapestries of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet fabric with an angel-cherubim design worked into the material.

9 Each panel of tapestry was forty-six feet long and six feet wide.

10 Five of the panels were joined together, and then the other five.

11 Loops of blue were made along the edge of the outside panel of the first set, and the same on the outside panel of the second set.

12 They made fifty loops on each panel, with the loops opposite each other.

13 Then they made fifty gold clasps and joined the tapestries together so that The Dwelling was one whole.

14 Next they made tapestries of woven goat hair for a tent that would cover The Dwelling. They made eleven panels of these tapestries.

15 The length of each panel was forty-five feet long and six feet wide.

16 They joined five of the panels together, and then the other six,

17 by making fifty loops along the edge of the end panel and fifty loops along the edge of the joining panel,

18 then making fifty clasps of bronze, connecting the clasps to the loops, bringing the tent together.

19 They finished it off by covering the tapestries with tanned rams' skins dyed red, and covered that with dolphin skins. The Framing

20 They framed The Dwelling with vertical planks of acacia wood,

21 each section of frame fifteen feet long and two and a quarter feet wide,

22 with two pegs for securing them. They made all the frames identical:

23 twenty frames for the south side,

24 with forty silver sockets to receive the two tenons from each of the twenty frames;

25 they repeated that construction on the north side of The Dwelling.

26

27 For the rear of The Dwelling facing west, they made six frames,

28 with two additional frames for the rear corners.

29 Both of the two corner frames were double in thickness from top to bottom and fit into a single ring

30 - eight frames altogether with sixteen sockets of silver, two under each frame.

31 They made crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of The Dwelling,

32 five for the other side, and five for the back side facing west.

33 The center crossbar ran from end to end halfway up the frames.

34 They covered the frames with a veneer of gold, made gold rings to hold the crossbars, and covered the crossbars with a veneer of gold.

35 They made the curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. They wove a design of angel-cherubim into it.

36 They made four posts of acacia wood, covered them with a veneer of gold, and cast four silver bases for them.

37 They made a screen for the door of the tent, woven from blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen with embroidery.

38 They framed the weaving with five poles of acacia wood covered with a veneer of gold, and made gold hooks to hang the weaving and five bronze bases for the poles.
