Exodus 36

New Living Translation NLT

1 “The LORD has gifted Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the LORD has commanded.”

2 So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the LORD and were eager to get to work.

3 Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning.

4 Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work.

5 They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the LORD has commanded us to do!”

6 So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings.

7 Their contributions were more than enough to complete the whole project.

8 The skilled craftsmen made ten curtains of finely woven linen for the Tabernacle. Then Bezalel decorated the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

9 All ten curtains were exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

10 Five of these curtains were joined together to make one long curtain, and the other five were joined to make a second long curtain.

11 He made fifty loops of blue yarn and put them along the edge of the last curtain in each set.

12 The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain matched the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.

13 Then he made fifty gold clasps and fastened the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle was made of one continuous piece.

14 He made eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.

15 These eleven curtains were all exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

16 Bezalel joined five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and the other six were joined to make a second long curtain.

17 He made fifty loops for the edge of each large curtain.

18 He also made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the long curtains together. In this way, the tent covering was made of one continuous piece.

19 He completed the tent covering with a layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.

20 For the framework of the Tabernacle, Bezalel constructed frames of acacia wood.

21 Each frame was 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,

22 with two pegs under each frame. All the frames were identical.

23 He made twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.

24 He also made forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.

25 For the north side of the Tabernacle, he made another twenty frames,

26 with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.

27 He made six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—

28 along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.

29 These corner frames were matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Both of these corner units were made the same way.

30 So there were eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.

31 Then he made crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle

32 and five for the south side. He also made five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which faced west.

33 He made the middle crossbar to attach halfway up the frames; it ran all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.

34 He overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. Then he overlaid the crossbars with gold as well.

35 For the inside of the Tabernacle, Bezalel made a special curtain of finely woven linen. He decorated it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

36 For the curtain, he made four posts of acacia wood and four gold hooks. He overlaid the posts with gold and set them in four silver bases.

37 Then he made another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. He made it of finely woven linen and embroidered it with exquisite designs using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

38 This curtain was hung on gold hooks attached to five posts. The posts with their decorated tops and hooks were overlaid with gold, and the five bases were cast from bronze.

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.
