Exodus 35–36

35And Moses gathered all the congregation of the children of Israel together, and said unto them, ^aThese are the words which the Lord hath commanded, that ye should do them. ^2bSix days shall work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be to you ^†an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth work therein shall be put to death. ^3cYe shall kindle no fire throughout your habitations upon the sabbath day. ⁴And Moses spake unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying, ^dThis is the thing which the Lord commanded, saying, ⁵Take ye from among you an offering unto the Lord: whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it, an offering of the Lord; gold, and silver, and brass, ⁶And blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, ⁷And rams’ skins dyed red, and badgers’ skins, and shittim wood, ⁸And oil for the light, and spices for anointing oil, and for the sweet incense, ⁹And onyx stones, and stones to be set for the ephod, and for the breastplate. ¹⁰And ^eevery wise hearted among you shall come, and make all that the Lord hath commanded; ^11fThe tabernacle, his tent, and his covering, his taches, and his boards, his bars, his pillars, and his sockets, ^12gThe ark, and the staves thereof, with the mercy seat, and ^hthe vail of the covering, ¹³ⁱThe table, and his staves, and all his vessels, and ^kthe shewbread, ^14lThe candlestick also for the light, and his furniture, and his lamps, with ^mthe oil for the light, ¹⁵ⁿAnd the incense altar, and his staves, ^oand the anointing oil, and ^pthe sweet incense, and ^qthe hanging for the door at the entering in of the tabernacle, ^16rThe altar of burnt offering, with his brasen grate, his staves, and all his vessels, ^sthe laver and his foot, ^17tThe hangings of the court, his pillars, and their sockets, and the hanging for the door of the court, ¹⁸The ^upins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court, and ^xtheir cords, ^19yThe cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.

²⁰And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. ²¹And they came, every one ^zwhose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and they brought the Lord’s offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments. ²²And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought ^abracelets, and ^bearrings, and rings, and ^ctablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord. ²³And every man, ^dwith whom was found ^eblue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and red skins of rams, and badgers’ skins, brought them. ²⁴Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the Lord’s offering: and every man, with whom was found shittim wood for any work of the service, brought it. ²⁵And all the women that were ^fwise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had ^gspun, both of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine linen. ²⁶And all the women ^hwhose heart stirred them up in wisdom ^gspun goats’ hair. ²⁷And ⁱthe rulers brought ^konyx stones, and stones to be set, for the ephod, and for the breastplate; ^28lAnd ^mspice, and oil for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. ²⁹The children of Israel brought a ⁿwilling offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

³⁰And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, ^othe Lord hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; ³¹And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship; ³²And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, ³³And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work. ³⁴And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. ³⁵Them hath he ^pfilled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and ^qof the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and ^rof the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

36Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every ^awise 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. ²And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, even every one ^bwhose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it: ³And they received of Moses all ^cthe 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 ^dfree offerings every morning. ⁴And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made; ⁵And they spake unto Moses, saying, ^eThe people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the Lord commanded to make. ⁶And 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. ⁷For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

^8fAnd 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. ⁹The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size. ¹⁰And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another. ¹¹And 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. ¹²Fifty 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. ¹³And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle. ¹⁴And he made curtains of goats’ hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them. ¹⁵The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size. ¹⁶And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. ¹⁷And 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. ¹⁸And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. ¹⁹And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers’ skins above that. ^20gAnd he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up. ²¹The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half. ²²One board had two tenons, ^hequally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle. ²³And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward: ²⁴And 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. ²⁵And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards, ²⁶And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. ²⁷And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. ²⁸And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides. ²⁹And 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. ³⁰And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, ^†under every board two sockets. ³¹And he made bars ⁱof shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, ³²And 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. ³³And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other. ³⁴And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

^35kAnd he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work. ³⁶And 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. ³⁷And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, ^†of needlework; ³⁸And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their ^lchapiters and their ^lfillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
