1And Bezalel and Oholiab will act, and every man wise of heart, in whom Yahweh has set wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all the work of the service of the holy place, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.
2And Moses called to Bezalel and to Oholiab and to every man wise of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had set wisdom, everyone whose heart lifted him up, to draw near to the work, to do it.
3They took from the face of Moses all the contribution that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the holy place, to do it; and they still brought him a freewill offering, morning by morning.
4And all the wise who were doing all the work of the holy place came, each man from his work, which they were doing.
5And they said to Moses, saying, "The people are bringing more and more, beyond enough for the service, for the work that Yahweh commanded to do it."
6And Moses commanded, and they caused a sound to pass through the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman do any more work for the contribution of the holy place." And the people were restrained from bringing.
7And the work had been enough for them, for all the work, to do it, and some was left over.
8And every one wise of heart among the doers of the work made the dwelling: ten curtains of fine linen twisted, and cerulean and purple and the worm of the scarlet, with cherubim, the work of a skillful worker; he made them.
9The length of the one curtain was eight and twenty by the cubit, and the breadth four by the cubit, of the one curtain; one size was for all the curtains.
10And he joined five of the curtains, one to the other, and five curtains he joined, one to the other.
11And he made loops of cerulean on the edge of the one curtain, at the end, in the joining; so he did on the edge of the outermost curtain, in the second joining.
12Fifty loops he made on the one curtain, and fifty loops he made at the end of the curtain that was in the second joining; the loops were opposite, one to the other.
13He made fifty clasps of gold, and joined the curtains one to the other with the clasps; and the dwelling became one.
14He made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the dwelling; eleven curtains he made them.
15The length of the one curtain was thirty by the cubit, and four cubits was the breadth of the one curtain; one size for the eleven curtains.
16And he joined five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.
17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain, in the joining; and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second joining.
18And he made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent together, so that it would be one.
19And he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and a covering of tahash skins above.
20And he made the frames for the dwelling of acacia wood, standing upright.
21Ten cubits was the length of the frame, and a cubit and half a cubit was the breadth of each frame.
22Two hands for each frame, joined one to the other. So he did for all the frames of the dwelling.
23And he made the frames for the dwelling: twenty frames, for the south corner, southward.
24And he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames: two bases under each frame, for its two hands; and two bases under each frame, for its two hands.
25And for the second side of the dwelling, at the north corner, he made twenty frames.
26and forty of their bases of silver: two bases under each frame, and two bases under each frame.
27And for the flanks of the dwelling, toward the sea, westward, he made six frames.
28And he made two frames for the corners of the dwelling, in the flanks.
29And they were twins from below, and together they were complete up to its top, to the one ring; so he did for the two of them, for the two corners.
30There were eight frames, and their bases of silver, sixteen bases: two bases, two bases under each frame.
31He made bars of acacia wood: five for the frames of one side of the tabernacle,
32and five bars for the frames of the side of the tabernacle, the second, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle at the rear flanks, seaward.
33He made the middle bar to pass through the middle of the frames, from end to end.
34The frames he overlaid with gold, and their rings he made of gold, receptacles for the bars; and he overlaid the bars with gold.
35He made the curtain of violet, purple, scarlet worm-dye, and twisted fine linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful worker.
36He made four pillars of acacia for it and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.
37He made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of violet, purple, scarlet worm-dye, and twisted fine linen, the work of a worker in colors.
38and its pillars, five, and their hooks; and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; and their bases, five, were bronze.
