New American Standard Bible 1995

The Tabernacle Underwritten

36 “Now Bezalel and 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 all that the Lord has commanded.”

2 Then Moses called Bezalel and 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 all the [g]contributions which the sons of Israel had brought [h]to perform the work [i]in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning. 4 And all the [j]skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [k]the work which [l]he was 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 a [p]proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the [q]contributions of the sanctuary.” Thus 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 Proceeds

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

14 Then (G)he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains [ak]in all. 15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had [al]the same measurements. 16 He [am]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 [an]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second [ao]set. 18 He made fifty clasps of [ap]bronze to [aq]join the tent together so that it would be [ar]a unit. 19 He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins [as]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 [at]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board. 22 There were two tenons for each board, [au]fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle. 23 He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [av]for the south side; 24 and he made forty [aw]sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two [ax]sockets under one board for its two tenons and two [ay]sockets 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 [az]sockets of silver; two [ba]sockets under one board and two [bb]sockets under another board. 27 For the [bc]rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards. 28 He made two boards for the corners of the [bd]tabernacle at the [be]rear. 29 They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its [bf]top [bg]to the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners. 30 There were eight boards with their [bh]sockets of silver, sixteen [bi]sockets, [bj]two 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 [bk]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the [bl]rear side to the west. 33 He made the middle bar to pass through in the [bm]center of the boards from end to end. 34 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 [bn]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman. 36 He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four [bo]sockets of silver for them. 37 He made a (K)screen for the doorway of the tent, of [bp]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a [bq]weaver; 38 and he made its (L)five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their [br]bands with gold; but their five [bs]sockets were of [bt]bronze.

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.

Éxodo 36
Nueva Biblia de las Américas

36 »Bezalel, Aholiab y toda persona hábil[a] en quien el Señor ha puesto sabiduría e inteligencia para saber hacer toda la obra de construcción[b] del santuario, harán todo conforme a lo que el Señor ha ordenado».

2 Entonces Moisés llamó a Bezalel y a Aholiab y a toda persona hábil[c] en quien[d] el Señor había puesto sabiduría, y a todo aquel cuyo corazón le impulsaba a venir a la obra para hacerla(A). 3 Y recibieron de Moisés todas las ofrendas[e] que los israelitas habían traído para hacer la obra de la construcción[f] del santuario. Los israelitas seguían trayéndole ofrendas voluntarias cada mañana.

4 Así que vinieron todos los hombres hábiles[g] que hacían todo el trabajo del santuario, cada cual del[h] trabajo que estaba[i] haciendo, 5 y dijeron a Moisés: «El pueblo trae más de lo que se necesita para la obra de construcción[j] que el Señor nos ha ordenado que se haga[k](B)». 6 Entonces Moisés dio una orden, y se pasó una proclama[l] por todo el campamento y dijo: «Ningún hombre ni mujer haga más trabajo para las contribuciones[m] del santuario». Así el pueblo dejó de traer más. 7 Porque el material[n] que tenían era abundante, y más que suficiente para hacer toda la obra(C).

Construcción del tabernáculo

8 (D)Todos los hombres hábiles[o] de entre los que estaban haciendo la obra hicieron el tabernáculo[p] con diez cortinas de lino fino torcido, y tela azul[q], púrpura y escarlata, con querubines, obra de hábil artífice. Bezalel las hizo. 9 La longitud de cada cortina era de 28 codos (12.6 metros) y la anchura de cada cortina de 4 codos (1.8 metros). Todas las cortinas tenían una misma medida. 10 Unió cinco cortinas una con otra, también las otras cinco cortinas las unió una con otra.

11 Hizo lazos de tela azul en el borde de la cortina del extremo del primer enlace. Lo mismo hizo en el borde de la cortina del extremo del segundo enlace. 12 Hizo cincuenta lazos en una cortina, e hizo cincuenta lazos en el borde de la cortina que estaba en el segundo enlace. Los lazos se correspondían unos a otros(E). 13 Hizo además cincuenta broches de oro, y unió las cortinas una a la otra con los broches, de manera que el tabernáculo llegó a ser una unidad[r](F).

14 (G)Hizo también cortinas de pelo de cabra a manera de tienda sobre el tabernáculo. Hizo once cortinas en total[s]. 15 La longitud de cada cortina era de 30 codos (13.5 metros), y la anchura de cada cortina de 4 codos (1.8 metros). Las once cortinas tenían una misma medida. 16 Unió cinco cortinas entre sí y las otras seis cortinas también entre sí. 17 Hizo cincuenta lazos en el borde de la cortina del extremo del primer enlace, y cincuenta lazos en el borde de la cortina del extremo del segundo enlace.

18 Hizo además cincuenta broches de bronce[t] para unir la tienda, a fin de que fuera un todo[u]. 19 Hizo también para la tienda una cubierta de pieles de carnero teñidas de[v] rojo, y encima otra cubierta de pieles de marsopa.

20 (H)Hizo luego para el tabernáculo tablas de madera de acacia, colocándolas verticalmente. 21 La longitud de cada[w] tabla era de 10 codos (4.5 metros), y de 1.5 codos (68 centímetros) la anchura de cada tabla. 22 Cada tabla tenía dos espigas para unirlas[x] una con otra. Así hizo con todas las tablas del tabernáculo. 23 Hizo, pues, las tablas para el tabernáculo: veinte tablas para el lado sur[y]. 24 También hizo cuarenta basas de plata debajo de las veinte tablas: dos basas debajo de una tabla para sus dos espigas, y dos basas debajo de otra tabla para sus dos espigas.

25 Para el segundo lado del tabernáculo, el lado norte, hizo veinte tablas, 26 y sus cuarenta basas de plata: dos basas debajo de una tabla y dos basas debajo de la otra tabla.

27 Para la parte posterior[z] del tabernáculo, hacia el occidente, hizo seis tablas. 28 Hizo además dos tablas para las esquinas del tabernáculo en la parte posterior[aa]. 29 Eran dobles por abajo y estaban unidas por arriba[ab] hasta la[ac] primera argolla. Así hizo con las dos para las dos esquinas. 30 Había ocho tablas con sus basas de plata; dieciséis basas, dos basas debajo de cada tabla.

31 (I)Hizo también barras de madera de acacia: cinco para las tablas de un lado del tabernáculo, 32 y cinco barras para las tablas del otro[ad] lado del tabernáculo, y cinco barras para las tablas del lado posterior[ae] del tabernáculo, hacia el occidente. 33 La barra del medio en el centro de las tablas la hizo pasar de un extremo al otro. 34 Revistió de oro las tablas y revistió de oro las barras e hizo de oro sus argollas por donde pasaran[af] las barras.

35 (J)Hizo además, el velo de tela azul, púrpura y escarlata y lino fino torcido. Lo hizo con querubines, obra de hábil artífice. 36 Le hizo cuatro columnas de acacia y las revistió de oro. Sus ganchos eran también de oro, y fundió para ellas cuatro basas de plata. 37 Hizo también una cortina para la entrada de la tienda de tela azul, púrpura y escarlata y de lino fino torcido, obra de tejedor[ag](K), 38 con sus cinco columnas y sus ganchos. Revistió de oro sus capiteles y sus molduras, pero sus cinco basas eran de bronce[ah](L).

Exodus 36
Living Bible

36 1-2 “All the other craftsmen with God-given abilities are to assist Bezalel and Oholiab in constructing and furnishing the Tabernacle.” So Moses told Bezalel and Oholiab and all others who felt called to the work to begin. 3 Moses gave them the materials donated by the people and additional gifts were received each morning.

4-7 But finally the workmen all left their task to meet with Moses and told him, “We have more than enough materials on hand now to complete the job!” So Moses sent a message throughout the camp announcing that no more donations were needed. Then at last the people were restrained from bringing more!

8-9 The skilled weavers first made ten sheets from fine linen, then embroidered into them blue, purple, and scarlet Guardian Angels. Each sheet was 42 feet long and 6 feet wide. 10 Five of these sheets were attached end to end, then five others similarly attached, forming two long roofsheets. 11-12 Fifty blue ribbons were looped along the edges of these two long sheets, each loop being opposite its mate on the other long sheet. 13 Then fifty clasps of gold were made to connect the loops, thus tying the two long sheets together to form the ceiling of the Tabernacle.

14-15 Above the ceiling was a second layer formed by eleven draperies made of goats’ hair (uniformly 45 feet long and 6 feet wide). 16 Bezalel coupled five of these draperies together to make one long piece, and six others to make another long piece. 17 Then he made fifty loops along the end of each 18 and fifty small bronze clasps to couple the loops so that the draperies were firmly attached to each other.

19 The top layer of the roof was made of rams’ skins, dyed red, and tanned goatskins.

20 For the sides of the Tabernacle he used frames of acacia wood standing on end. 21 The height of each frame was 15 feet and the width 2-1/4 feet. 22 Each frame had two clasps joining it to the next. 23 There were twenty frames on the south side, 24 with the bottoms fitting into forty silver bases. Each frame was connected to its base by two clasps. 25-26 There were also twenty frames on the north side of the Tabernacle, with forty silver bases, two for each frame. 27 The west side of the Tabernacle, which was its rear, was made from six frames, 28 plus another at each corner. 29 These frames, including those at the corners, were linked to each other at both top and bottom by rings. 30 So, on the west side, there were a total of eight frames with sixteen silver bases beneath them, two for each frame.

31-32 Then he made five sets of bars from acacia wood to tie the frames together along the sides, five for each side of the Tabernacle. 33 The middle bar of the five was halfway up the frames, along each side, running from one end to the other. 34 The frames and bars were all overlaid with gold, and the rings were pure gold.

35 The blue, purple, and scarlet inner[a] curtain was made from woven linen, with Guardian Angels skillfully embroidered into it. 36 The curtain was then attached to four gold hooks set into four posts of acacia wood, overlaid with gold and set into four silver bases.

37 Then he made a drapery for the entrance to the Tabernacle; it was woven from finespun linen, embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet. 38 This drapery was connected by five hooks to five posts. The posts and their capitals and rods were overlaid with gold; their five bases were molded from bronze.
