Exodus 36

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 "B'tzal'el and Oholi'av, along with all the craftsmen whom ADONAI has endowed with the wisdom and skill necessary to carry out the work needed for the sanctuary, are to do exactly according to everything ADONAI has ordered."

2 Moshe summoned B'tzal'el, Oholi'av and every craftsman to whom ADONAI had given wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come and take part in the work.

3 They received from Moshe all the offering which the people of Isra'el had brought for the work of building the sanctuary. But they still kept bringing voluntary offerings every morning,

4 until all the craftsmen doing the work for the sanctuary left the work they were involved with

5 to tell Moshe, "The people are bringing far more than is needed to do the work ADONAI has ordered done."

6 So Moshe gave an order which was proclaimed throughout the camp: "Neither men nor women are to make any further efforts for the sanctuary offering." In this way, the people were restrained from making additional contributions.

7 For what they had already was not only sufficient for doing all the work, but too much!

8 All the skilled men among them who did the work made the tabernacle, using ten sheets of finely woven linen and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn. He made them with k'ruvim worked in that had been crafted by a skilled artisan.

9 Each sheet was forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the sheets were the same size.

10 He joined five sheets one to another, and the other five sheets he joined one to another.

11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost sheet in the first set and did the same on the edge of the outermost sheet in the second set.

12 He made fifty loops on the one sheet, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the sheet in the second set; the loops were opposite one another.

13 He made fifty fasteners of gold and coupled the sheets to each other with the fasteners, so that the tabernacle formed a single unit.

14 He made sheets of goat's hair to be used as a tent covering the tabernacle; he made eleven sheets.

15 Each sheet was forty-five feet long and six feet wide; all eleven sheets were the same size.

16 He joined five sheets together and six sheets together.

17 He made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost sheet in the first set and fifty loops on the outermost sheet in the second set.

18 He made fifty fasteners of bronze to join the tent together, so that it would be a single unit.

19 He made a covering for the tent of tanned ram skins and an outer covering of fine leather.

20 He made the upright planks of acacia-wood for the tabernacle.

21 Each plank was fifteen feet long and two-and-a-quarter feet wide.

22 There were two projections on each plank, and the planks were joined one to another. This is how he made all the planks for the tabernacle.

23 He made the planks for the tabernacle as follows: twenty planks for the south side, facing southward.

24 He made forty silver sockets under the twenty planks, two sockets under one plank for its two projections and two sockets under another plank for its two projections.

25 For the second side of the tabernacle, to the north, he made twenty planks

26 and their forty silver sockets, two sockets under one plank and two under another.

27 For the rear part of the tabernacle, toward the west, he made six planks.

28 For the corners of the tabernacle in the rear he made two planks,

29 double from the bottom all the way to the top but joined at a single ring. He did the same with both of them at the two corners.

30 Thus there were eight planks with their silver sockets, sixteen sockets, two sockets under each plank.

31 He made crossbars of acacia-wood, five for the planks of the one side of the tabernacle,

32 five crossbars for the planks of the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for the planks at the side of the tabernacle at the rear toward the west.

33 He made the middle crossbar so that it extended from one end of the planks to the other, halfway up.

34 He overlaid the planks with gold, made gold rings for them through which the crossbars could pass and overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35 He made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely woven linen. He made them with k'ruvim worked in that had been crafted by a skilled artisan.

36 He made for it four posts of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold, and gold hooks; and cast for them four silver sockets.

37 For the entrance to the tent he made a screen of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely woven linen, in colors, the work of a weaver;

38 with its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their attached rings for hanging with gold, while their five sockets were of bronze.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.

2 Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work:

3 And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.

4 Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;

5 And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.

6 So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

7 For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.

8 Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

9 Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

10 And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.

11 And they put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and in the same way on the outside curtain of the second group.

12 Fifty twists on the one curtain and fifty on the edge of the curtain of the other group; the twists being opposite to one another.

13 And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.

14 And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made.

15 Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

16 Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group.

17 And they put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group,

18 And fifty hooks of brass for joining them together to make the tent.

19 And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that.

20 And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.

21 The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

22 Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.

23 They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:

24 And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues.

25 And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,

26 With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board.

27 And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,

28 And two boards for the angles at the back.

29 These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles.

30 So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.

31 And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,

32 And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west.

33 The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other.

34 All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

35 And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.

36 And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.

37 And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;

38 And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.
