NEW JERUSALEMKING JAMES BIBLE
1 'Bezalel, Oholiab and al the men whom Yahweh has endowed with the skil and knowledge to knowhow to carry out al the work to be done on the sanctuary, wil do exactly as Yahweh has ordered.'1 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 Moses then summoned Bezalel, Oholiab and al the skil ed men whose hearts Yahweh had endowedwith skil , al whose heart stirred them to come forward and do the work.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 From Moses they received everything that the Israelites had brought as contributions for carrying outthe work of building the sanctuary, and, as they went on bringing their offerings every morning,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 the skil ed men who were doing all the work for the sanctuary, al left their particular work4 And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
5 and said to Moses, 'The people are bringing more than is needed for the work Yahweh has ordered tobe done.'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 Moses then gave the order and proclamation was made throughout the camp, 'No one, whether manor woman, must do anything more towards contributing for the sanctuary.' So the people were prevented frombringing any more,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 material to hand was enough, and more than enough, to complete al the work.7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8 Al the most skil ed of the men doing the work made the Dwelling. Moses made it with ten sheets offinely woven linen, dyed violet-purple, red-purple and crimson and embroidered with great winged creatures.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 a single sheet was twenty-eight cubits, its width four cubits, al the sheets being of thesame size.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 He joined five of the sheets to one another, and the other five sheets to one another.10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11 He made violet loops along the edge of the first sheet, at the end of the set, and did the same alongthe edge of the last sheet in the other set.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 He made fifty loops on the first sheet and fifty loops along the outer edge of the sheet of the secondset, the loops corresponding to one another.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 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the sheets together with the clasps. In this way the Dwel ing wasa unified whole.13 And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
14 Next he made sheets of goats' hair for the tent over the Dwel ing; he made eleven of these.14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15 The length of a single sheet was thirty cubits and its width four cubits; the eleven sheets were al ofthe same size.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 He joined five sheets together into one set and six sheets into another.16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 He made fifty loops along the edge of the last sheet of the first set, and fifty loops along the edge ofthe sheet of the second set.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 He made fifty bronze clasps, to draw the tent together and make it a unified whole.18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19 And for the tent he made a cover of rams' skins dyed red, and a cover of fine leather over that.19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
20 For the Dwelling he made vertical frames of acacia wood.20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
21 Each frame was ten cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22 Each frame had twin tenons; this was how he made al the frames for the Dwelling.22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 He made frames for the Dwel ing: twenty frames for the south side, to the south,23 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
24 and made forty silver sockets under the twenty frames, two sockets under one frame for its twotenons, two sockets under the next frame for its two tenons;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 Dwel ing, the north side, twenty frames25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
26 and forty silver sockets, two sockets under one frame, two sockets under the next frame.26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 For the back of the Dwel ing, on the west, he made six frames.27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 He also made two frames for the corners at the back of the Dwel ing;28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29 these were coupled together at the bottom, staying so up to the top, to the level of the first ring; thishe did with the two frames forming the two corners.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 Thus there were eight frames with their sixteen silver sockets; two sockets under each frame.30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 He made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames of the first side of the Dwel ing,31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 five crossbars for the frames of the other side of the Dwel ing and five crossbars for the frames whichformed the back of the Dwel ing, to the west.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 He made the middle bar, to join the frames from one end to the other, halfway up.33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 He overlaid the frames with gold, made gold rings for them, through which to place the crossbars,and overlaid the crossbars with gold.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 He made a curtain of finely woven linen, dyed violet-purple, red-purple and crimson and embroideredwith great winged creatures,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 for it he made four poles of acacia wood, overlaying them with gold, with golden hooks for them,for which he cast four sockets of silver.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 For the entrance to the tent he made a screen of finely woven linen embroidered with violet-purple,red-purple and crimson,37 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
38 as also the five columns for it and their hooks; he overlaid their capitals and rods with gold, but theirfive sockets were of bronze.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.
