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.
