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
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.
Esodo 36
Nuova Riveduta 2006
36 (A)«Besaleel e Ooliab e tutti gli uomini abili, nei quali il Signore ha messo sapienza e intelligenza per saper eseguire tutti i lavori per il servizio del santuario, faranno ogni cosa secondo quanto il Signore ha ordinato». 2 Mosè chiamò dunque Besaleel e Ooliab e tutti gli uomini abili nei quali il Signore aveva messo intelligenza, tutti quelli il cui cuore spingeva ad applicarsi al lavoro per eseguirlo; 3 essi presero davanti a Mosè tutte le offerte portate dai figli d’Israele per i lavori destinati al servizio del santuario, per eseguirli. Ma ogni mattina i figli d’Israele continuavano a portare a Mosè delle offerte volontarie. 4 Allora tutti gli uomini abili che erano occupati in tutti i lavori del santuario, lasciato ognuno il lavoro che faceva, vennero a dire a Mosè: 5 «Il popolo porta molto più di quello che occorre per eseguire i lavori che il Signore ha comandato di fare». 6 Allora Mosè diede quest’ordine, che fu bandito per l’accampamento: «Né uomo né donna faccia più alcuna opera come offerta per il santuario». Così si impedì al popolo di portare altro; 7 poiché la roba già pronta bastava a fare tutto il lavoro, e ve n’era di avanzo.
I teli
8 (B)Tutti gli uomini abili, tra quelli che eseguivano il lavoro, fecero dunque il tabernacolo di dieci teli, di lino fino ritorto, di filo color violaceo, porporino e scarlatto, con dei cherubini artisticamente lavorati. 9 La lunghezza di un telo era di ventotto cubiti; e la larghezza, di quattro cubiti; tutti i teli erano della stessa misura. 10 Cinque teli furono uniti insieme, e gli altri cinque furono pure uniti insieme. 11 Si misero dei lacci di color violaceo all’orlo del telo che era all’estremità della prima serie di teli; lo stesso si fece all’orlo del telo che era all’estremità della seconda serie. 12 Si misero cinquanta lacci al primo telo, e cinquanta lacci all’orlo del telo che era all’estremità della seconda serie: i lacci corrispondevano l’uno all’altro. 13 Si fecero pure cinquanta fermagli d’oro e si unirono i teli l’uno all’altro mediante i fermagli; così il tabernacolo formò un tutto unico.
14 Si fecero inoltre dei teli di pelo di capra, per servire da tenda per coprire il tabernacolo: di questi teli se ne fecero undici. 15 La lunghezza di ogni telo era di trenta cubiti; la larghezza, di quattro cubiti; gli undici teli avevano la stessa misura. 16 Si unirono insieme, da una parte, cinque teli, e si unirono insieme, dall’altra parte, gli altri sei. 17 Si misero cinquanta lacci all’orlo del telo che era all’estremità della prima serie di teli, e cinquanta lacci all’orlo del telo che era all’estremità della seconda serie. 18 Si fecero cinquanta fermagli di bronzo per unire insieme la tenda, in modo che formasse un tutto unico.
19 Si fece pure per la tenda una coperta di pelli di montone tinte di rosso e, sopra questa, un’altra di pelli di delfino.
Le assi e le loro basi
20 (C)Poi si fecero per il tabernacolo le assi di legno di acacia, messe per diritto. 21 La lunghezza di un’asse era di dieci cubiti, e la larghezza di un’asse, di un cubito e mezzo. 22 Ogni asse aveva due incastri paralleli; così fu fatto per tutte le assi del tabernacolo. 23 Si fecero dunque le assi per il tabernacolo: venti assi dal lato meridionale, verso il sud; 24 si fecero quaranta basi d’argento sotto le venti assi: due basi sotto ogni asse per i suoi due incastri. 25 Per il secondo lato del tabernacolo, il lato di nord, 26 si fecero venti assi, con le loro quaranta basi d’argento: due basi sotto ogni asse. 27 Per la parte posteriore del tabernacolo, verso occidente, si fecero sei assi. 28 Si fecero pure due assi per gli angoli del tabernacolo, dalla parte posteriore. 29 Queste erano doppie dal basso in su, e al tempo stesso formavano un tutto fino in cima, fino al primo anello. Così fu fatto per tutte e due le assi che erano ai due angoli. 30 Vi erano dunque otto assi con le loro basi d’argento: sedici basi, due basi sotto ogni asse. 31 Si fecero delle traverse di legno d’acacia: cinque per le assi di un lato del tabernacolo; 32 cinque traverse per le assi dell’altro lato del tabernacolo e cinque traverse per le assi della parte posteriore del tabernacolo, a occidente. 33 Si fecero la traversa di mezzo, in mezzo alle assi, per farla passare da una parte all’altra. 34 Le assi furono rivestite d’oro e furono fatti d’oro gli anelli per i quali dovevano passare le traverse, e le traverse furono rivestite d’oro.
I due veli
35 (D)Fu fatto pure il velo, di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto e di lino fino ritorto con dei cherubini artisticamente lavorati; 36 si fecero per esso quattro colonne di acacia e si rivestirono d’oro; i loro ganci erano d’oro; per le colonne, si fusero quattro basi d’argento.
37 Si fece anche per l’ingresso della tenda una portiera ricamata di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto, e di lino fino ritorto. 38 Si fecero le sue cinque colonne con i loro ganci; si rivestirono d’oro i loro capitelli e le loro aste; le loro cinque basi erano di bronzo.
