Exodus 36

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Beseleel, therefore, and Ooliab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, to know how to work artificially, made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary, and which the Lord commanded.	1 Therefore, Bezalel, and Oholiab, and every wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and intelligence, so as to know how to work skillfully, made that which was necessary for the uses of the Sanctuary and which the Lord had instructed.
2 And when Moses had called them, and every skilful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,	2 And when Moses had called them and every man of learning, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and who, of their own accord, had offered themselves in order to accomplish this work,
3 He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them. And while they were earnest about the work, the people daily in the morning offered their vows.	3 he handed over to them all the donations of the sons of Israel. And while they were pursuing this work, the people offered what they had vowed each day, in the morning.
4 Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,	4 The artisans were compelled by this to go
5 Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.	5 to Moses and to say, “The people offer more than is needed.”
6 Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier's voice: Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary. And so they ceased from offering gifts,	6 Therefore, Moses ordered this to be recited, with a voice of proclamation: “Let neither man nor woman offer anything further for the work of the Sanctuary.” And so they ceased from offering gifts,
7 Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.	7 because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance.
8 And all the men that were wise of heart, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of twisted fine linen, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, with varied work, and the art of embroidering:	8 And all those who were wise of heart, in order to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse workmanship by the art of embroidery.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.	9 Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure.
10 And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.	10 And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another.
11 He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides, and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner,	11 He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain,
12 That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.	12 so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.
13 Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.	13 For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.
14 He made also eleven curtains of goats' hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:	14 He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
15 One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.	15 one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.
16 Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.	16 Five of these he joined by themselves, and the other six separately.
17 And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain, and fifty in the edge of another curtain, that they might be joined one to another.	17 And he made fifty loops along the edge of one canopy, and fifty along the edge of the other canopy, so that they might be joined to one another,
18 And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.	18 and fifty buckles of brass, with which the roof might be woven together, so that from all the canopies there would be made one covering.
19 He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams' skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.	19 He also made a covering for the tabernacle from the skins of rams, dyed-red; and another cover above it, from violet skins.
20 He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.	20 He also made the standing panels of the tabernacle, from setim wood.
21 The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.	21 Ten cubits was the length of one panel, and one and one half cubits comprised the width.
22 There were two mortises throughout every board, that one might be joined to the other. And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle.	22 There were two dovetails along every panel, so that one might be joined to the other. Thus did he make all the panels of the tabernacle.
23 Of which twenty were at the south side southward,	23 Of these, twenty were toward the meridian area, opposite the south,
24 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners, where the mortises of the sides end in the corners.	24 with forty bases of silver. Two bases were set under one panel at each of two sides at the corners, where the joints of the sides terminate in corners.
25 At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.	25 Likewise, at that side of the tabernacle which looks toward the north, he made twenty panels,
26 With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.	26 with forty bases of silver, two bases for each board.
27 But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,	27 Yet truly, opposite the west, that is, toward that part of the tabernacle which looks out toward the sea, he made six panels,
28 And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:	28 and two others at each corner of the tabernacle at the back,
29 Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:	29 which were joined from bottom to top and held together by one joint. So did he make both corners on that side.
30 So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.	30 So then, there were altogether eight panels, and they had sixteen bases of silver, with, of course, two bases under each panel.
31 He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,	31 He also made bars from setim wood: five to hold together the panels at one side of the tabernacle,
32 And five others to join together the boards of the other side: and besides these, five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea.	32 and five others to fit together the panels of the other side, and, in addition to these, five other bars toward the western area of the tabernacle, opposite the sea.
33 He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.	33 He also made another bar, which came through the middle of the panels from corner to corner.
34 And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver. And their rings he made of gold, through which the bars might be drawn: and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold.	34 But the panels themselves he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them. And he made their rings from gold, through which the bars might be able to be drawn. And he covered the bars themselves with layers of gold.
35 He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:	35 He also made a veil from hyacinth, and purple, from vermillion as well as fine twisted linen, with varied and distinctive embroidery,
36 And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.	36 and four columns of setim wood, which, along with their heads, he overlaid with gold, casting silver bases for them.
37 He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, with the work of an embroiderer.	37 He also made a tent at the entrance of the tabernacle from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery,
38 And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.	38 and five columns with their heads, which he covered with gold, and he cast their bases from brass.
