NEW AMERICAN BIBLEKING JAMES BIBLE
1 "Bezalel, therefore, will set to work with Oholiab and with all the experts whom the LORD has endowed with skill and understanding in knowing how to execute all the work for the service of the sanctuary, just as the LORD has commanded."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 called Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other experts whom the LORD had endowed with skill, men whose hearts moved them to come and take part in 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 They received from Moses all the contributions which the Israelites had brought for establishing the service of the sanctuary. Still, morning after morning the people continued to bring their voluntary offerings to Moses.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 Thereupon the experts who were executing the various kinds of work for the sanctuary, all left the work they were doing,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 told Moses, "The people are bringing much more than is needed to carry out the work which the LORD has commanded us to do."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, therefore, ordered a proclamation to be made throughout the camp: "Let neither man nor woman make any more contributions for the sanctuary." So the people stopped bringing their offerings;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 there was already enough at hand, in fact, more than enough, to complete the work to be done.7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8 The various experts who were executing the work, made the Dwelling with its ten sheets woven of fine linen twined, having cherubim embroidered on them with violet, purple and scarlet yarn.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 each sheet was twenty-eight cubits, and the width four cubits; all the sheets were of the same 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 Five of the sheets were sewed together, edge to edge; and the same for the other five.10 And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
11 Loops of violet yarn were made along the edge of the end sheet in the first set, and the same along the edge of the end sheet in the second 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 Fifty loops were thus put on one inner sheet, and fifty loops on the inner sheet in the other set, with the loops directly opposite each other.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 Then fifty clasps of gold were made, with which the sheets were joined so that the Dwelling formed one 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 Sheets of goat hair were also woven as a tent over the Dwelling. Eleven such sheets were made.14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
15 The length of each sheet was thirty cubits and the width four cubits; all eleven sheets were the 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 Five of these sheets were sewed edge to edge into one set; and the other six sheets into another set.16 And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 Fifty loops were made along the edge of the end sheet in one set, and fifty loops along the edge of the corresponding sheet in the other 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 Fifty bronze clasps were made with which the tent was joined so that it formed one whole.18 And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
19 A covering for the tent was made of rams' skins dyed red, and above that, a covering of tahash skins.19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.
20 Boards of acacia wood were made as walls for the Dwelling.20 And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width one and a half cubits.21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22 Each board had two arms, fastening them in line. In this way all the boards of the Dwelling were made.22 One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 They were set up as follows: twenty boards on the south side,23 And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
24 with forty silver pedestals under the twenty boards, so that there were two pedestals under each board, at its two arms;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 twenty boards on the other side of the Dwelling, the north side,25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,
26 with their forty silver pedestals, two under each board;26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27 six boards at the rear of the Dwelling, to the west;27 And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 and two boards at the corners in the rear of the Dwelling.28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29 These were double at the bottom, and likewise double at the top, to the first ring. That is how both boards in the corners were made.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 in the rear eight boards, with their sixteen silver pedestals, two pedestals under each board.30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
31 Bars of acacia wood were also made, five for the boards on one side of the Dwelling,31 And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32 five for those on the other side, and five for those at the rear, 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 The center bar, at the middle of the boards, was made to reach across from end to end.33 And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 The boards were plated with gold, and gold rings were made on them as holders for the bars, which were also plated 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 The veil was woven of violet, purple and scarlet yarn, and of fine linen twined, with cherubim embroidered on it.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 Four gold-plated columns of acacia wood, with gold hooks, were made for it, and four silver pedestals were cast for them.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 The curtain for the entrance of the tent was made of violet, purple and scarlet yarn, and of fine linen twined, woven in a variegated manner.37 And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;
38 Its five columns, with their hooks as well as their capitals and bands, were plated with gold; their five pedestals 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.
