Exod 36
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Dărnicia poporului
36 Beţaleel, Oholiab şi toţi bărbaţii iscusiţi(A) în care pusese Domnul înţelepciune şi pricepere, ca să ştie să facă lucrările rânduite pentru slujba Sfântului Locaş(B), au făcut totul după cum poruncise Domnul. 2 Moise a chemat pe Beţaleel, Oholiab şi pe toţi bărbaţii iscusiţi în mintea(C) cărora pusese Domnul pricepere, şi anume pe toţi cei cu tragere de inimă la lucrul acesta, ca să-l facă. 3 Ei au luat dinaintea lui Moise toate prinosurile, pe care le aduseseră(D) copiii lui Israel ca să facă lucrările rânduite pentru slujba Sfântului Locaş. Chiar şi după ce se începuse lucrarea, tot se mai aduceau lui Moise în fiecare dimineaţă daruri de bunăvoie. 4 Atunci, toţi bărbaţii iscusiţi, prinşi la toate lucrările Sfântului Locaş, şi-au lăsat fiecare lucrul pe care-l făceau 5 şi au venit de au spus lui Moise: „Poporul(E) aduce mult mai mult decât trebuie pentru facerea lucrărilor pe care a poruncit Domnul să le facem.” 6 Moise a pus să strige în tabără ca nimeni, fie bărbat, fie femeie, să nu mai aducă daruri pentru Sfântul Locaş. Au oprit astfel pe popor să mai aducă daruri. 7 Materialul adus era de ajuns pentru toate lucrările care trebuiau făcute, ba încă mai şi trecea.
Clădirea cortului
8 Toţi(F) bărbaţii iscusiţi şi lucrătorii au făcut cortul din zece covoare de in subţire şi răsucit, din fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu; pe ele au ţesut heruvimi lucraţi cu măiestrie. 9 Lungimea unui covor era de douăzeci şi opt de coţi; iar lăţimea unui covor era de patru coţi. Toate covoarele aveau aceeaşi măsură. 10 Cinci din aceste covoare au fost prinse la un loc; celelalte cinci, de asemenea, au fost prinse la un loc. 11 Au făcut chiotori albastre la marginea covorului cu care se sfârşea cea dintâi împreunare; tot aşa au făcut şi la marginea covorului cu care se sfârşea a doua împreunare de covoare. 12 Au făcut cincizeci(G) de chiotori la cel dintâi covor şi cincizeci de chiotori la marginea covorului cu care se sfârşea a doua împreunare de covoare; chiotorile acestea erau una în faţa alteia. 13 Au făcut cincizeci de copci de aur şi au prins covoarele unul de altul cu copcile, aşa încât cortul alcătuia un întreg. 14 Au făcut(H) nişte covoare din păr de capră, ca să slujească de acoperiş pentru cort: unsprezece covoare de acestea au făcut. 15 Lungimea unui covor era de treizeci de coţi şi lăţimea unui covor era de patru coţi: cele unsprezece covoare aveau aceeaşi măsură. 16 Au prins împreună deoparte cinci din aceste covoare, iar pe celelalte şase de altă parte. 17 Au făcut cincizeci de chiotori la marginea covorului cu care se sfârşea o împreunare de covoare şi cincizeci de chiotori la marginea covorului cu care se sfârşea a doua împreunare de covoare. 18 Au mai făcut şi cincizeci de copci de aramă, cu care să se împreuneze acoperişul cortului, ca să alcătuiască un întreg. 19 Au făcut(I) pentru acoperişul cortului o învelitoare de piei de berbeci vopsite în roşu şi o învelitoare de piei de viţel de mare, care trebuia pusă pe deasupra. 20 Scândurile(J) pentru cort le-au făcut din lemn de salcâm, aşezate în picioare. 21 Lungimea unei scânduri era de zece coţi şi lăţimea unei scânduri era de un cot şi jumătate. 22 Fiecare scândură avea două urechi, unite una cu alta; tot aşa au făcut la toate scândurile cortului. 23 Au făcut douăzeci de scânduri pentru cort, înspre partea de miazăzi. 24 Au pus patruzeci de picioare de argint sub cele douăzeci de scânduri, câte două picioare sub fiecare scândură, pentru cele două urechi ale ei. 25 Au făcut apoi douăzeci de scânduri pentru a doua latură a cortului, latura dinspre miazănoapte, 26 cu cele patruzeci de picioare de argint ale lor, câte două picioare sub fiecare scândură. 27 Au făcut apoi şase scânduri pentru fundul cortului, înspre apus. 28 Au făcut două scânduri pentru cele două unghiuri ale cortului în partea din fund; 29 acestea erau făcute din două bucăţi, începând de la partea de jos, şi bine legate la vârf, printr-un cerc; la fel au făcut pentru amândouă scândurile din cele două unghiuri. 30 Erau astfel opt scânduri, cu picioarele lor de argint, adică şaisprezece picioare, câte două picioare sub fiecare scândură. 31 Au făcut cinci drugi(K) din lemn de salcâm pentru scândurile uneia din laturile cortului, 32 cinci drugi pentru scândurile celei de a doua laturi a cortului şi cinci drugi pentru scândurile laturii cortului din fundul dinspre apus; 33 drugul de la mijloc l-au făcut aşa ca să treacă prin mijlocul scândurilor, de la un capăt la celălalt. 34 Au poleit scândurile cu aur şi verigile lor de aur le-au făcut aşa ca să se poată petrece drugii prin ele, şi drugii i-au poleit cu aur.
Cele două perdele
35 Perdeaua(L) dinăuntru au făcut-o din fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi din in subţire răsucit; au lucrat-o cu măiestrie şi au făcut heruvimi pe ea. 36 Au făcut patru stâlpi de salcâm pentru ea şi i-au poleit cu aur; cârligele lor erau de aur şi au turnat pentru stâlpii aceştia patru picioare de argint. 37 Pentru uşa cortului au făcut o perdea(M) din fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi din in subţire răsucit; aceasta era o lucrare făcută la gherghef. 38 Au făcut cei cinci stâlpi ai ei cu cârligele lor, iar căpătâiele şi beţele lor de legătură le-au poleit cu aur; cele cinci picioare ale lor erau de aramă.
Exodus 36
New American Standard Bible
The Tabernacle Underwritten
36 “Now Bezalel, Oholiab, and every [a]skillful person in whom the Lord has put [b]skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work [c]in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with everything that the Lord has commanded.”
2 Then Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and every [d]skillful person in [e]whom the Lord had put [f]skill, (A)everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it. 3 They received from Moses every [g]contribution which the sons of Israel had brought to perform [h]the work [i]in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him [j]voluntary offerings every morning. 4 And all the [k]skillful people who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [l]the work which they were performing, 5 and they said to [m]Moses, “(B)The people are bringing much more than enough for the [n]construction work which the Lord commanded us to [o]perform.” 6 So Moses issued a command, and circulated a [p]proclamation throughout the camp, saying, “No man or woman is to perform work any longer for the [q]contributions of the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing any more. 7 (C)For the [r]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.
Construction Begins
8 (D)All the [s]skillful people among those who were performing the work made the [t]tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and [u]violet, purple, and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer, [v]Bezalel made them. 9 The length of each curtain was [w]twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had [x]the same measurements. 10 He [y]joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he [z]joined to one another. 11 And he made loops of violet on the edge of the [aa]outermost curtain in the first [ab]set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was [ac]outermost in the second [ad]set. 12 He made (E)fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the [ae]edge of the curtain that was in the second [af]set; the loops were opposite each other. 13 He also made (F)fifty clasps of gold, and [ag]joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was [ah]a unit.
14 Then (G)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he [ai]made eleven curtains in all. 15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had [aj]the same measurements. 16 He [ak]joined five curtains by themselves, and the other six curtains by themselves. 17 Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first [al]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second [am]set. 18 He also made fifty clasps of [an]bronze to [ao]join the tent together so that it would be [ap]a unit. 19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins [aq]dyed red, and a covering of [ar]fine leather above.
20 (H)Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 21 Ten cubits was the length of [as]each board, and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 22 There were two tenons for each board, [at]fitted to one another; he did this to all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 So he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [au]for the south side; 24 and 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. 25 Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards, 26 and their forty bases of silver; two bases under one board, and two bases under another board. 27 And for the [av]back of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. 28 He made two boards for the corners of the [aw]tabernacle at the [ax]back. 29 They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its [ay]top, [az]to the first ring; he did this with both of them for the two corners. 30 There were eight boards with their bases of silver, sixteen bases, two bases under every board.
31 Then he made (I)bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle, 32 and five bars for the boards of the [ba]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the [bb]back side to the west. 33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the [bc]center of the boards from end to end. 34 Then he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 (J)Moreover, he made the veil of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer. 36 And he made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four bases of silver for them. 37 He also made a (K)curtain for the doorway of the tent, of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a [bd]weaver; 38 and he made its (L)five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their [be]bands with gold; but their five bases were of [bf]bronze.

King James Version
36 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 cherubims 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 cherubims 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.
