36 摩西說:「比撒列、亞何利亞伯以及所有蒙耶和華賜智慧聰明、有技能、懂得如何建造聖所的人,都要按照耶和華的吩咐去做。」

於是,摩西召來比撒列、亞何利亞伯和所有蒙耶和華賜智慧、有技能、願意參與建造的人。 他們從摩西那裡領取了以色列百姓奉獻出來建造聖所的一切禮物。每天早上,百姓仍然甘心樂意地來奉獻禮物, 以致所有建造聖所的能工巧匠都放下自己的工作, 前來對摩西說:「百姓的奉獻太多了,我們建造耶和華吩咐的聖所用不了。」

於是,摩西傳令全營:「大家不用再為聖所奉獻禮物了。」百姓這才停止奉獻。 因為所獻的材料已經足夠建造聖所,而且綽綽有餘。

工人中的能工巧匠用十幅幔子做成了聖幕,幔子用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線織成,上面精工繡製了基路伯天使。 每幅幔子的尺寸都一樣,長十二米、寬兩米。 10 又把每五幅幔子連在一起,共連成兩幅大幔子。 11 然後在每幅大幔子邊緣釘上了藍色的扣環, 12 每幅各釘上五十個扣環,都是兩兩相對。 13 又做了五十個金鉤,把兩幅大幔子連在一起,成為聖幕。

14 比撒列用山羊毛織成十一幅幔子,做聖幕的罩棚, 15 每幅幔子的尺寸都一樣,長十三米、寬兩米。 16 然後把五幅連成一大幅,餘下的六幅又連成一大幅。 17 又在這兩幅大幔子邊緣各釘上五十個對稱的扣環, 18 再用五十個銅鉤,把兩幅大幔子連在一起,成為一個罩棚, 19 並在罩棚上面蓋一層染成紅色的公羊皮,再蓋一層海狗皮做頂蓋。

20 他用皂莢木做支撐聖幕的木板, 21 每塊木板長四米,寬六十六釐米, 22 上面都有兩個接榫,用來把木板連接在一起。聖幕的所有木板都這樣做。 23 聖幕的南面共有二十塊木板, 24 在這些木板下面又造了四十個帶凹槽的銀底座,每塊木板下面有兩個,套在木板的兩個接榫上。 25 聖幕北面也有二十塊木板, 26 木板下面同樣有四十個帶凹槽的銀底座,每塊木板下面有兩個銀底座。 27 聖幕的後面,就是西面,有六塊木板, 28 聖幕的兩個拐角各有兩塊木板, 29 木板的下端連於底座,頂端用一個環固定。兩個拐角都要這樣做。 30 這樣後面共有八塊木板,每塊木板下面各有兩個銀底座,一共是十六個銀底座。

31-32 他用皂莢木做橫閂,聖幕左右兩邊和後面的牆板上各有五根橫閂, 33 攔腰固定牆板的那根橫閂從這端貫穿到那端。 34 所有的木板和橫閂都包上金,並在木板上造金環,用來穿橫閂。

35 他用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線織成一幅幔子,精工繡上基路伯天使, 36 把這幅幔子掛在四根用皂莢木造的柱子上,柱子外面包上金,加上金鉤,四根柱子下面有四個銀底座。 37 他又用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線繡製聖幕的門簾, 38 用皂莢木做五根掛門簾的柱子,上面有金鉤,柱頂和橫杆包上金。柱子的五個底座是銅造的。

36 Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled[a] people are to work based on everything the Lord has commanded. The Lord has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary.’(A)

So Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person in whose heart the Lord had placed wisdom, all whose hearts moved them,(B) to come to the work and do it. They took from Moses’s presence all the contributions that the Israelites had brought for the task of making the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.

Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing and said to Moses, ‘The people are bringing more than is needed(C) for the construction of the work the Lord commanded to be done.’

After Moses gave an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: ‘Let no man or woman make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.’ So the people stopped. The materials were sufficient for them to do all the work. There was more than enough.

Building the Tabernacle

All(D) the skilled craftsmen[b] among those doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them. Each curtain was 12.5 metres[c] long and 1.8 metres[d] wide; all the curtains had the same measurements. 10 He joined five of the curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he joined to each other. 11 He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set and did the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set. 12 He made fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other. 13 He also made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle became a single unit.

14 He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven of them. 15 Each curtain was 13.5 metres[e] long and 1.8 metres wide. All eleven curtains had the same measurements. 16 He joined five of the curtains together, and the other six together. 17 He made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set and fifty loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set. 18 He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a single unit. 19 He also made a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather[f] on top of it.

20 He(E) made upright supports[g] of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 21 Each support was four and a half metres[h] long and seventy centimetres[i] wide. 22 Each support had two tenons for joining one to another. He did the same for all the supports of the tabernacle. 23 He made supports for the tabernacle as follows: He made twenty for the south side, 24 and he made forty silver bases to put under the twenty supports, two bases under the first support for its two tenons, and two bases under each of the following supports for their two tenons. 25 For the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty supports, 26 with their forty silver bases, two bases under the first support and two bases under each of the following ones. 27 And for the back of the tabernacle, on the west side, he made six supports. 28 He also made two additional supports for the two back corners of the tabernacle. 29 They were paired at the bottom and joined together[j] at the[k] top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners. 30 So there were eight supports with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under each one.

31 He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the supports on one side of the tabernacle, 32 five crossbars for the supports on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for those at the back of the tabernacle on the west. 33 He made the central crossbar run through the middle of the supports from one end to the other. 34 He overlaid them with gold and made their rings out of gold as holders for the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35 Then(F) he made the curtain with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. He made it with a design of cherubim worked into it. 36 He made four pillars of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold. And he cast four silver bases for the pillars.

37 He made a screen embroidered[l] with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen for the entrance to the tent, 38 together with its five pillars and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the pillars and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.
