Exodus 36
Legacy Standard Bible

36 “Now Bezalel and Oholiab and every person [a]wise at heart, to whom Yahweh has given [b]wisdom and discernment to know how to do all the work of the service of constructing the sanctuary, shall do in accordance with all that Yahweh has commanded.”

Making the Tabernacle

2 Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every person [c]wise at heart to whom Yahweh had given [d]wisdom, (A)everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to do it. 3 And they received from Moses the entire [e]contribution which the sons of Israel had brought [f]to do the work in the service of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. 4 And all the [g]wise men who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [h]the work which [i]he was doing, 5 and they said to [j]Moses, “(B)The people are bringing much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded us to [k]do.” 6 So Moses commanded and a [l]proclamation was passed throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer do the work for the [m]contributions of the sanctuary.” Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more. 7 (C)Indeed, the [n]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to do it.

8 (D)And all those [o]wise at heart among those who were doing the work made the [p]tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and [q]blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer, [r]Bezalel made them. 9 The length of each curtain was [s]twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four [t]cubits; all the curtains had [u]the same measurements. 10 He [v]joined five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he [w]joined to one another. 11 He made loops of [x]blue on the edge of the [y]outermost curtain in the first [z]set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was [aa]outermost in the second [ab]set. 12 He made (E)fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the [ac]edge of the curtain that was in the second [ad]set; the loops were opposite each other. 13 He made (F)fifty clasps of gold and [ae]joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was one unit.

14 Then (G)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains [af]in all. 15 The length of each curtain was [ag]thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had [ah]the same measurements. 16 He [ai]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 [aj]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second [ak]set. 18 He made fifty clasps of [al]bronze to [am]join the tent together so that it would be [an]a unit. 19 He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins [ao]dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.

20 (H)Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright. 21 Ten cubits was the length of [ap]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 22 There were two tenons for each board, [aq]fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [ar]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 For the [as]rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. 28 And he made two boards for the corners of the [at]tabernacle at the [au]rear. 29 And they were [av]separated beneath, but were together at their completion at the [aw]top, [ax]at the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners. 30 And 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 [ay]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the [az]rear side to the west. 33 And he made the middle bar to pass through in the [ba]center of the boards from end to end. 34 He also 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 [bb]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful designer. 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 And he made a (K)screen for the doorway of the tent, of [bc]blue and 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.

Éxodo 36
La Palabra (España)

36 Así, pues, Besalel, Oholiab y aquellos a quienes el Señor había dotado de talento y habilidad especial para realizar los distintos trabajos del santuario, llevaron a cabo todo lo que había ordenado el Señor.

La suspensión de las ofrendas

2 Moisés reunió a Besalel, a Oholiab y a todos los artesanos a quienes el Señor había dotado de habilidad y estaban dispuestos a colaborar en la realización de esa tarea, 3 y personalmente les entregó todas las ofrendas que los israelitas habían donado para la realización del santuario. Pero como día tras día el pueblo seguía llevando ofrendas voluntarias, 4 todos los artesanos que trabajaban en el santuario suspendieron su labor 5 para ir a decirle a Moisés:

— La gente está trayendo más de lo que se necesita para acabar lo que el Señor ha ordenado.

6 Entonces Moisés mandó pregonar por el campamento:

— Que nadie, ni hombre ni mujer, contribuya más para la obra del santuario.

Así el pueblo dejó de llevar más ofrendas, 7 pues lo que ya habían aportado era más que suficiente para llevar a cabo todo el trabajo.

La construcción de la Morada (Ex 26,1-37)

8 Los artesanos más hábiles hicieron la Morada con diez cortinas de lino trenzado con púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, y con querubines esmeradamente bordados. 9 Cada cortina medía catorce metros de largo, por dos de ancho; todas las cortinas tenían las mismas medidas. 10 Cinco cortinas estaban unidas una con otra, y las otras cinco las empalmaron de igual modo. 11 Luego, en el borde de la primera serie de cortinas, pusieron unas presillas de púrpura violeta; y lo mismo hicieron en el borde de la última cortina del otro grupo. 12 Pusieron cincuenta presillas en la primera cortina y otras cincuenta en la última del segundo grupo. Las presillas se correspondían entre sí. 13 Enlazaron un cuerpo de cortinas con el otro mediante cincuenta corchetes de oro, de modo que la Morada formó un todo.

14 También se tejieron con pelo de cabra once cortinas para la cubierta de la Morada. 15 Todas las cortinas medían lo mismo: quince metros de largo, por dos de ancho. 16 Cinco cortinas iban empalmadas por una parte, y las seis restantes por la otra. 17 Los bordes de cada serie de cortinas empalmadas iban rematados con cincuenta presillas; 18 fabricaron también cincuenta pasadores de bronce los cuales, metidos por las presillas, cerraban la Tienda formando un todo.

19 Se fabricó, además, para la Tienda una cubierta de pieles de carnero curtidas y una sobrecubierta de pieles de marsopa. 20 Luego prepararon unos tableros de madera de acacia y los colocaron verticalmente para formar la Morada. 21 Cada tablero medía cinco metros de largo por setenta y cinco centímetros de ancho; 22 y tenía dos espigas, para ensamblarlos uno con otro. Todos los tableros de la Morada fueron hechos de la misma forma. 23 Para el lado de la Morada que mira al sur, hicieron veinte tableros 24 debajo de los cuales colocaron cuarenta basas de plata, una para cada una de las dos espigas de cada tablero. 25 Para el otro lado de la Morada, el que mira al norte, también prepararon veinte tableros 26 con sus cuarenta basas de plata, dos por cada tablero. 27 Y para la parte de la Morada que mira a poniente, prepararon seis tableros, 28 además de otros dos que situaron en las esquinas posteriores de la Morada, 29 y que estaban unidos de abajo a arriba hasta la primera argolla, formando de este modo los dos ángulos del santuario. 30 Eran, pues, en total ocho tableros con sus correspondientes dieciséis basas de plata; dos por tablero.

31 Prepararon también cinco travesaños de madera de acacia para los tableros de un lado de la Morada, 32 y cinco para los del otro lado y cinco más para los tableros de la parte posterior, la que mira al poniente. 33 El travesaño central lo hicieron de tal forma que pasara por entre los tableros, de una punta a otra. 34 Revistieron de oro los tableros y les pusieron unas argollas de oro por donde pasaban los travesaños, que estaban igualmente revestidos de oro.

35 Hicieron, además, un velo de lino trenzado y púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, con querubines esmeradamente bordados. 36 Para colgar el velo, hicieron cuatro columnas de madera de acacia revestidas de oro, con ganchos también de oro, y las apoyaron sobre cuatro basas de plata.

37 Para la entrada de la Tienda hicieron una cortina de lino fino trenzado y púrpura violeta, escarlata y carmesí, todo ello esmeradamente recamado; 38 y colgaron la cortina de cinco columnas de madera de acacia revestidas de oro lo mismo que sus ganchos, capiteles y molduras; en cambio, las cinco basas para las columnas, se fundieron en bronce.

Exodus 36
New International Version

36 1 So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person(A) to whom the Lord has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary(B) are to do the work just as the Lord has commanded.”

2 Then Moses summoned Bezalel(C) and Oholiab(D) and every skilled person to whom the Lord had given ability and who was willing(E) to come and do the work. 3 They received from Moses all the offerings(F) the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning. 4 So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing 5 and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough(G) for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done.”

6 Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, 7 because what they already had was more(H) than enough to do all the work.

The Tabernacle(I)

8 All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands. 9 All the curtains were the same size—twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.[a] 10 They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five. 11 Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set. 12 They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other. 13 Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.(J)

14 They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven altogether. 15 All eleven curtains were the same size—thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.[b] 16 They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set. 17 Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set. 18 They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.(K) 19 Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.[c]

20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. 21 Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,[d] 22 with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 23 They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle 24 and made forty silver bases to go under them—two bases for each frame, one under each projection. 25 For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames 26 and forty silver bases—two under each frame. 27 They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, 28 and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end. 29 At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike. 30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases—two under each frame.

31 They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, 32 five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. 33 They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames. 34 They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

35 They made the curtain(L) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. 36 They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases. 37 For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer;(M) 38 and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.

Exodus 36
New King James Version

Building the Tabernacle

36 “And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every (A)gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the (B)sanctuary,[a] shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.”

The People Give More than Enough

2 Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone (C)whose heart [b]was stirred, to come and do the work. 3 And they received from Moses all the (D)offering which the children of Israel (E)had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. 4 Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing, 5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, (F)“The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.”

6 So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing, 7 for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too (G)much.

Building the Tabernacle(H)

8 (I)Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them. 9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all the same size. 10 And he coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another. 11 He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set; likewise he did on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set. 12 (J)Fifty loops he made on one curtain, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain on the end of the second set; the loops held one curtain to another. 13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps, that it might be one tabernacle.

14 (K)He made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains. 15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains were the same size. 16 He coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. 17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set. 18 He also made fifty bronze clasps to couple the tent together, that it might be one. 19 (L)Then he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of [c]badger skins above that.

20 For the tabernacle (M)he made boards of acacia wood, standing upright. 21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board a cubit and a half. 22 Each board had two [d]tenons (N)for binding one to another. Thus he made for all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 And he made boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side. 24 Forty sockets of silver he made to go under the twenty boards: two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons. 25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards 26 and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under each of the boards. 27 For the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards. 28 He also made two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle. 29 And they were coupled at the bottom and [e]coupled together at the top by one ring. Thus he made both of them for the two corners. 30 So there were eight boards and their sockets—sixteen sockets of silver—two sockets under each of the boards.

31 And he made (O)bars of acacia wood: five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle, 32 five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle on the far side westward. 33 And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one end to the other. 34 He overlaid the boards with gold, made their rings of gold to be holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35 And he made (P)a veil of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen; it was worked with an artistic design of cherubim. 36 He made for it four pillars of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for them.

37 He also made a (Q)screen for the tabernacle door, of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a [f]weaver, 38 and its five pillars with their hooks. And he overlaid their capitals and their rings with gold, but their five sockets were bronze.
