Exodus Chapter 36

Exodus Chapter 36
1 Then wrought Bezalel, and Aholiab,
and all cunning men, to whom the Lord
gave wisdom, and understanding, to
know how to work all manner work for
the service of the sanctuary, according to
all that the Lord had commanded. 2 For
Moses had called Bezalel, and Aholiab,
and all the wise hearted men, in whose
hearts the Lord had given wisdom, even
as many as their hearts encouraged to
come unto that work to work 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: also they brought
still unto him free gifts every morning.
4 So all the wise men, that wrought all
the holy work, came every man from his
work which they wrought,
5 And spake to Moses, saying, The
people bring too much, and more then
enough for the use of the work, which the
Lord hath commanded to be made. 6
Then Moses gave a commandment, and
they caused it to be proclaimed
throughout the host, saying, Let neither
man nor woman prepare any more work
for the oblation of the sanctuary. So the
people were stayed from offering.
7 For the stuff they had, was sufficient
for all the work to make it, and too
much.
8 All the cunning men therefore among
the workmen, made for the tabernacle
ten curtains of fine twined linen, and of
blue silk, and purple, and scarlet:
cherubims of broidered work made they
upon them.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty
and eight cubits, and the breadth of one
curtain four cubits: and the curtains
were all of one size. 10 And he coupled
five curtains together, and other five
coupled he together. 11 And he made
strings of blue silk by the edge of one
curtain, in the selvedge of the coupling:
likewise he made on the side of the
other curtain in the selvedge in the
second coupling.
12 Fifty strings made he in the one
curtain, and fifty strings made he in the
edge of the other curtain, which was in
the second coupling: the strings were set
one against another.
13 After, he made fifty taches of gold,
and coupled the curtains one to another
with the taches: so was it one
tabernacle.
14 Also he made curtains of goats’ hair
for the covering upon the tabernacle: he
made them to the number of eleven
curtains.
15 The length of one curtain had thirty
cubits, and the breadth of one curtain
four cubits: the eleven curtains were of
one size.
16 And he coupled five curtains by
themselves, and six curtains by
themselves:
17 Also he made fifty strings upon the
edge of one curtain in the selvedge in the
coupling, and fifty strings made he upon
the edge of the other curtain in the
second coupling.
18 He made also fifty taches of brass to
couple the covering that it might be one.
19 And he made a covering upon the
pavilion of rams’ skins dyed red, and a
covering of badgers’ skins above.
20 Likewise he made the boards for the
tabernacle, of shittim wood to stand up.
21 The length of a board was ten cubits,
and the breadth of one board was a
cubit, and an half.
22 One board had two tenons, set in
order as the feet of a ladder, one against
another: thus made he for all the boards
of the tabernacle.
23 So he made twenty boards for the
south side of the tabernacle, even full
south.
24 And forty sockets of silver made he
under the twenty boards, two sockets
under one board for his two tenons, and
two sockets under another board for his
two tenons.
25 Also for the other side of the
tabernacle toward the north, he made
twenty boards,
26 And their forty sockets of silver, two
sockets under one board, and two
sockets under another board.
27 Likewise toward the west side of the
tabernacle he made six boards. 28 And
two boards made he in the corners of the
tabernacle, for either side, 29 And they
were joined beneath, and likewise were
made sure above with a ring: thus he did
to both in both corners.
30 So there were eight boards and their
sixteen sockets of silver, under every
board two sockets.
31 After, he made bars of shittim wood,
five for the boards in the one side of the
tabernacle,
32 And five bars for the boards in the
other side of the tabernacle, and five
bars for the boards of the tabernacle on
the side toward the west. 33 And he
made the midst bar to shoot through the
boards, from the one end to the other.
34 He overlaid also the boards with
gold, and made their rings of gold for
places for the bars, and covered the bars
with gold.
35 Moreover he made a veil of blue silk,
and purple, and of scarlet, and of fine
twined linen: with cherubims of
broidered work made he it:
36 And made thereunto four pillars of
shittim, and overlaid them with gold:
whose hooks were also of gold, and he
cast for them four sockets of silver. 37
And he made an hanging for the
tabernacle door, of blue silk, and purple,
and scarlet, and fine twined linen, and
needle work,
38 And the five pillars of it with their
hooks, and overlaid their chapiters and
their filets with gold, but their five
sockets were of brass.
