1 ¶ Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every skilled man, to whom the LORD has given wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, shall work in accordance with all that the LORD had commanded.

2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every other skilled workman, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart led him to come and do the work:

3 And they received from Moses the entire offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the building and the service of the sanctuary. But they still brought to him freewill offerings every morning.

4 And all the wise men, who were doing all the work on the sanctuary, came each from the task that he was doing;

5 And they said to Moses, The people are bringing much more than needed to finish the work, which the LORD has commanded us to do.

6 So Moses gave the order, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman produce any more material to contribute for the sanctuary. So the people stopped bringing gifts.

7 For the material on hand was sufficient to do all the work, and more.

8 ¶ And every skilled man among them who carried out the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with designs of cherubim woven in.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: the curtains were all the same size.

10 And he joined five curtains together: and the other five curtains were joined together.

11 And he made loops of blue on the outer edge of the last curtain in the first set: he did the same on the inner edge of the first curtain, in the second set.

12 He made fifty loops on one curtain, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set: the loops held one curtain to another.

13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and joined the curtains one unto another with the clasps: so it became one tabernacle.

14 ¶ And he also made curtains of goats’ hair for the covering over the tabernacle: he made eleven curtains in all.

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain was four cubits: the eleven curtains were all the same size.

16 And he joined five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

17 And he made fifty loops on the outmost edge of the curtain to be joined, and fifty loops on the inner edge of the second curtain to be joined.

18 And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, into one whole.

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 the upright frame for the tabernacle of acacia wood.

21 The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one and a half cubits.

22 Each board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: he did this for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 And he made twenty boards for the south side of the tabernacle:

24 And forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under the next board for its two tenons.

25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty boards,

26 And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under the next board.

27 And for the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards.

28 And he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle on the two sides.

29 And they were coupled at the bottom, and linked together at the top, to one ring: thus he made both of them on both the corners.

30 And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, two sockets under every board.

31 And he made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle,

32 And five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards on the back, or west side of the tabernacle.

33 And he made the middle bar pass through the boards from 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 veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: artistically designed with cherubim.

36 And for it he made four pillars of acacia 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 its five pillars with their hooks: and he overlaid their tops and their binders with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
