035:029 The children of Israel brought a freewill offering to Yahweh;
every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring
for all the work, which Yahweh had commanded to be made by Moses.
035:030 Moses said to the children of Israel, "Behold, Yahweh has
called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur,
of the tribe of Judah.
035:031 He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom,
in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
035:032 and to make skillful works, to work in gold, in silver, in brass,
035:033 in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood,
to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship.
035:034 He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab,
the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
035:035 He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner
of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman,
and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet,
and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do
any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.
036:001 "Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man,
in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know
how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary,
according to all that Yahweh has commanded."
036:002 Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man,
in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose
heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:
036:003 and they received from Moses all the offering which the children
of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary,
with which to make it. They brought yet to him freewill
offerings every morning.
036:004 All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary,
each came from his work which they did.
036:005 They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough
for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."
036:006 Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed
throughout the camp, saying, "Let neither man nor woman
make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary."
So the people were restrained from bringing.
036:007 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it,
and too much.
036:008 All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made
the tent with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, blue, purple,
and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman,
they made them.
036:009 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,
and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains
had one measure.
036:010 He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five
curtains he coupled one to another.
036:011 He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from
the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge
of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.
036:012 He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops
in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling.
The loops were opposite one to another.
036:013 He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one
to another with the clasps: so the tent was a unit.
036:014 He made curtains of goats' hair for a covering over the tent.
He made them eleven curtains.
036:015 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four
cubits the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains
had one measure.
036:016 He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains
by themselves.
036:017 He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was
outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge
of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.
036:018 He made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together,
that it might be a unit.
036:019 He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red,
and a covering of sea cow hides above.
036:020 He made the boards for the tent of acacia wood, standing up.
036:021 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half
the breadth of each board.
036:022 Each board had two tenons, joined one to another.
He made all the boards of the tent this way.
036:023 He made the boards for the tent: twenty boards for the
south side southward.
036:024 He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards;
two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets
under another board for its two tenons.
036:025 For the second side of the tent, on the north side,
he made twenty boards,
036:026 and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board,
and two sockets under another board.
036:027 For the far part of the tent westward he made six boards.
036:028 He made two boards for the corners of the tent in the far part.
036:029 They were double beneath, and in like manner they were all
the way to the top of it to one ring. He did thus to both
of them in the two corners.
036:030 There were eight boards, and their sockets of silver,
sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.
036:031 He made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one
side of the tent,
036:032 and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tent, and five
bars for the boards of the tent for the hinder part westward.
036:033 He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards
from the one end to the other.
036:034 He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold
for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
036:035 He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen:
with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.
036:036 He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold.
Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.
036:037 He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet,
and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
036:038 and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid
their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five
sockets were of brass.
037:001 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two
and a half cubits, and its breadth a cubit and a half,
and a cubit and a half its height.
037:002 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made
a molding of gold for it round about.
037:003 He cast four rings of gold for it, in its four feet; even two
rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.
037:004 He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
037:005 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark,
to bear the ark.
037:006 He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a
half cubits, and a cubit and a half its breadth.
037:007 He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work,
at the two ends of the mercy seat;
037:008 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end.
He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at
its two ends.
037:009 The cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy
seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another.
The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.
037:010 He made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits,
and its breadth was a cubit, and its height was a cubit
and a half.
037:011 He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it.
037:012 He made a border of a handbreadth around it, and made a golden
molding on its border around it.
037:013 He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four
corners that were on its four feet.
037:014 The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles
to carry the table.
037:015 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold,
to carry the table.
037:016 He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes,
its spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out,
of pure gold.
037:017 He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand
of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds,
and its flowers were of one piece with it.
037:018 There were six branches going out of its sides:
three branches of the lampstand out of its one side,
and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side:
037:019 three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch,
a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond
blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower:
so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.
037:020 In the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms,
its buds and its flowers;
037:021 and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud
under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two
branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going
out of it.
037:022 Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it.
The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold.
037:023 He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes,
of pure gold.
037:024 He made it of a talent of pure gold, with all its vessels.
037:025 He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. It was square:
its length was a cubit, and its breadth a cubit.
Its height was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it.
037:026 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, its sides around it,
and its horns. He made a gold molding around it.
037:027 He made two golden rings for it under its molding crown,
on its two ribs, on its two sides, for places for poles
with which to carry it.
037:028 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
037:029 He made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices,
after the art of the perfumer.
038:001 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square.
Its length was five cubits, its breadth was five cubits,
and its height was three cubits.
038:002 He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one
piece with it, and he overlaid it with brass.
038:003 He made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, the shovels,
the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its
vessels of brass.
038:004 He made for the altar a grating of a network of brass,
under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up.
038:005 He cast four rings for the four ends of brass grating,
to be places for the poles.
038:006 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass.
038:007 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar,
with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.
038:008 He made the basin of brass, and its base of brass, out of
the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door
of the tent of meeting.
038:009 He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings
of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits;
038:010 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass;
the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
038:011 For the north side one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty,
and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars,
and their fillets, of silver.
038:012 For the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten,
and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars,
and their fillets, of silver.
038:013 For the east side eastward fifty cubits.
038:014 The hangings for the one side were fifteen cubits;
their pillars three, and their sockets three;
038:015 and so for the other side: on this hand and that hand
by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits;
their pillars three, and their sockets three.
038:016 All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen.
038:017 The sockets for the pillars were of brass. The hooks of the
pillars and their fillets were of silver; and the overlaying
of their capitals, of silver; and all the pillars of the court
were filleted with silver.
038:018 The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer,
of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth
was five cubits, like to the hangings of the court.
038:019 Their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass;
their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals,
and their fillets, of silver.
038:020 All the pins of the tent, and around the court, were of brass.
038:021 This is the amount of material used for the tent, even the Tent
of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to
the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites,
by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
038:022 Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
made all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
038:023 With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan,
an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue,
in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.
038:024 All the gold that was used for the work in all the work
of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering,
was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred thirty shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary.
038:025 The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation
was one hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred
seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
038:026 a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel
of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who
were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six
hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men.
038:027 The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets
of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred
sockets for the one hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
038:028 Of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels
he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals,
and made fillets for them.
038:029 The brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand
four hundred shekels.
038:030 With this he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting,
the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, all the vessels
of the altar,
038:031 the sockets around the court, the sockets of the gate of the court,
all the pins of the tent, and all the pins around the court.
039:001 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments,
for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments
for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:002 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine
twined linen.
039:003 They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires,
to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet,
and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.
039:004 They made shoulder straps for it, joined together.
At the two ends it was joined together.
039:005 The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to
fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work;
of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen;
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:006 They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold,
engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names
of the children of Israel.
039:007 He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones
of memorial for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:008 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman,
like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet,
and fine twined linen.
039:009 It was square. They made the breastplate double.
Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, being double.
039:010 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz,
and beryl was the first row;
039:011 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire{or, lapis lazuli},
and an emerald;
039:012 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
039:013 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper.
They were enclosed in gold settings.
039:014 The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel,
twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet,
everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
039:015 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided
work of pure gold.
039:016 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put
the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
039:017 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings
at the ends of the breastplate.
039:018 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the
two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod,
in the front of it.
039:019 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends
of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was toward
the side of the ephod inward.
039:020 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder
straps of the ephod underneath, in the front of it, close by
its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
039:021 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod
with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven
band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come
loose from the ephod, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:022 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
039:023 The opening of the robe in the midst of it was like the opening
of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening,
that it should not be torn.
039:024 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue,
purple, scarlet, and twined linen.
039:025 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between
the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe,
between the pomegranates;
039:026 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the
skirts of the robe, to minister in, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:027 They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron,
and for his sons,
039:028 and the turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine linen,
and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,
039:029 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet,
the work of the embroiderer, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:030 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold,
and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet:
"HOLY TO YAHWEH."
039:031 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above,
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:032 Thus all the work of the tent of the tent of meeting was finished.
The children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh
commanded Moses; so they did.
039:033 They brought the tent to Moses, the tent, with all its furniture,
its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
039:034 the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of sea
cow hides, the veil of the screen,
039:035 the ark of the testimony with its poles, the mercy seat,
039:036 the table, all its vessels, the show bread,
039:037 the pure lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order,
all its vessels, the oil for the light,
039:038 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense,
the screen for the door of the Tent,
039:039 the bronze altar, its grating of brass, its poles, all of
its vessels, the basin and its base,
039:040 the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets,
the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins,
all the instruments of the service of the tent, for the
tent of meeting,
039:041 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place,
the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments
of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.
039:042 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children
of Israel did all the work.
039:043 Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it
as Yahweh had commanded, even so had they done it:
and Moses blessed them.
040:001 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
040:002 "On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tent
of the Tent of Meeting.
040:003 You shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall
screen the ark with the veil.
040:004 You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things
that are on it. You shall bring in the lampstand, and light
the lamps of it.
040:005 You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark
of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tent.
040:006 You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door
of the tent of the tent of meeting.
040:007 You shall set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar,
and shall put water therein.
040:008 You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen
of the gate of the court.
040:009 You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tent, and all
that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture:
and it will be holy.
040:010 You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels,
and sanctify the altar: and the altar will be most holy.
040:011 You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
040:012 You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent
of meeting, and shall wash them with water.
040:013 You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall
anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me
in the priest's office.
040:014 You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.
040:015 You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father,
that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood
throughout their generations."
040:016 Moses did so. According to all that Yahweh commanded him,
so he did.
040:017 It happened in the first month in the second year, on the first
day of the month, that the tent was raised up.
040:018 Moses raised up the tent, and laid its sockets, and set up
the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and raised
up its pillars.
040:019 He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof
of the tent above on it, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
040:020 He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles
on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
040:021 He brought the ark into the tent, and set up the veil
of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony,
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
040:022 He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of
the tent northward, outside of the veil.
040:023 He set the bread in order on it before Yahweh,
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
040:024 He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table,
on the side of the tent southward.
040:025 He lit the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
040:026 He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil;
040:027 and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as Yahweh
commanded Moses.
040:028 He put up the screen of the door to the tent.
040:029 He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tent
of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering
and the meal offering, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
040:030 He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar,
and put water therein, with which to wash.
040:031 Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
040:032 When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came
near to the altar, they washed, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
040:033 He raised up the court around the tent and the altar,
and set up the screen of the gate of the court.
So Moses finished the work.
040:034 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory
of Yahweh filled the tent.
040:035 Moses wasn't able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the
cloud stayed on it, and Yahweh's glory filled the tent.
040:036 When the cloud was taken up from over the tent, the children
of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
040:037 but if the cloud wasn't taken up, then they didn't travel
until the day that it was taken up.
040:038 For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tent by day, and there was fire
in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel,
throughout all their journeys.
