Exodus 36-38 (Darby Translation)

Exodus 36

 ¹Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary -- according to all that Jehovah had commanded.

 ²And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.

 ³And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.

 ⁴And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,

 ⁵and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.

 ⁶Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;

 ⁷for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.

 ⁸And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: [with] cherubim of artistic work did he make them.

 ⁹The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits -- one measure for all the curtains.

 ¹⁰And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and [the other] five curtains coupled he one to another.

 ¹¹And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.

 ¹²He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.

 ¹³And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.

 ¹⁴And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.

 ¹⁵The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain -- one measure for the eleven curtains.

 ¹⁶And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.

 ¹⁷And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.

 ¹⁸And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one.

 ¹⁹And he made a covering for the tent [of] rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above [that].

 ²⁰And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up;

 ²¹ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board;

 ²²two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

 ²³And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;

 ²⁴and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board, for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.

 ²⁵And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side toward the north, he made twenty boards,

 ²⁶and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.

 ²⁷And at the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards;

 ²⁸and he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;

 ²⁹and they were joined beneath, and were coupled together at the top thereof into one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners;

 ³⁰and there were eight boards, and their silver bases: sixteen bases, under every board two bases.

 ³¹-- And he made bars of acacia-wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

 ³²and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the rear, westward.

 ³³And he made the middle bar in the midst of the boards reach from one end to the other.

 ³⁴And he overlaid the boards with gold; and made their rings of gold [as] receptacles for the bars; and overlaid the bars with gold.

 ³⁵And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus: of artistic work he made it [with] cherubim.

 ³⁶And he made four pillars of acacia[-wood] for it, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.

 ³⁷And he made a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery;

 ³⁸and its five pillars with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their connecting-rods with gold; and their five bases were of copper.

Exodus 37

 ¹And Bezaleel made the ark of acacia-wood; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

 ²And he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a border of gold upon it round about.

 ³And he cast for it four rings of gold, for its four corners: two rings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it.

 ⁴And he made staves of acacia-wood and overlaid them with gold.

 ⁵And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the ark.

 ⁶-- And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.

 ⁷And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work did he make them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat;

 ⁸one cherub at the end of one side, and one cherub at the end of the other side; out of the mercy-seat he made the two cherubim at the two ends thereof.

 ⁹And the cherubim spread out [their] wings over it, covering over with their wings the mercy-seat; and their faces were opposite to one another: the faces of the cherubim were [turned] toward the mercy-seat.

 ¹⁰And he made the table of acacia-wood; two cubits the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof.

 ¹¹And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made upon it a border of gold round about.

 ¹²And he made for it a margin of a hand-breadth round about; and made a border of gold for the margin thereof round about.

 ¹³And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings on the four corners that were on the four feet thereof.

 ¹⁴Close to the margin were the rings, as receptacles of the staves to carry the table.

 ¹⁵And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table.

 ¹⁶And he made the utensils that were on the table, the dishes thereof, and the cups thereof, and the bowls thereof, and the goblets with which to pour out, of pure gold.

 ¹⁷And he made the candlestick of pure gold; [of] beaten work he made the candlestick: its base, and its shaft, its cups, its knobs, and its flowers were of itself.

 ¹⁸And six branches went out of the sides thereof -- three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof;

 ¹⁹[there were] three cups shaped like almonds in the one branch, a knob and a flower; and three cups shaped like almonds in the other branch, a knob and a flower: so in the six branches which went out of the candlestick.

 ²⁰And in the candlestick were four cups, shaped like almonds, its knobs, and its flowers;

 ²¹and a knob under two branches thereof, and [again] a knob under two branches thereof, and [again] a knob under two branches thereof, for the six branches which went out of it.

 ²²Their knobs and their branches were of itself -- all of one beaten work of pure gold.

 ²And he made its horns on the four corners thereof; its horns were of itself; and he overlaid it with copper.

 ³And he made all the utensils of the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils made he of copper.

 ⁵And he cast four rings for the four corners of the grating of copper, as receptacles for the staves.

 ¹⁰their pillars twenty, and their bases twenty, of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

 ¹⁹and their pillars four, and their bases four, of copper; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their connecting-rods of silver.

 ²⁰And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court round about were of copper.

 ²¹These are the things numbered of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, by the service of the Levites, under the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

 ²²And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah had commanded Moses;
