36 |
| 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
cherubim 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 cherubim 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. |
