Exodus 36
|
| 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. | And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah hath commanded. |
| 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: | And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it: |
| 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. | and they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, wherewith to make it. And they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning. |
| Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work; | And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought. |
| 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. | And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make. |
| 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. | 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. |
| For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done. | For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. |
| 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. | And all the wise-hearted men among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, [Bezalel] made them. |
| Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure. | The length of each curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains had one measure. |
| And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together. | And he coupled five curtains one to another: and [the other] five curtains he coupled one to another. |
| 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. | And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling. |
| 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. | Fifty loops made he in the one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling: the loops were opposite one to another. |
| And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made. | And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was one. |
| And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made. | And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them. |
| Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure. | The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain: the eleven curtains had one measure. |
| Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group. | And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. |
| 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, | And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was [outmost in] the second coupling. |
| And fifty hooks of brass for joining them together to make the tent. | And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. |
| And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that. | And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above. |
| And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood. | And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of acacia wood, standing up. |
| The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide. | Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board. |
| Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way. | Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. |
| They made twenty boards for the south side of the House: | And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward. |
| And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues. | And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons. |
| And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards, | And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, |
| With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board. | and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. |
| And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards, | And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. |
| And two boards for the angles at the back. | And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part. |
| These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles. | And they were double beneath; and in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof unto one ring: thus he did to both of them in the two corners. |
| So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board. | And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets. |
| And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House, | And he made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, |
| And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west. | and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward. |
| The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other. | And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other. |
| 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. | And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. |
| And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen. | And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, made he it. |
| And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases. | And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; And he cast for them four sockets of silver. |
| And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red; | And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer; |
| 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. | and the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass. |
