NASB Bible

Exodus 36

The Tabernacle Underwritten

1

"Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every  1skillful person in whom the LORD has put  2skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work  3in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded."

2

Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every  1skillful person in  2whom the LORD had put  3skill,  aeveryone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it.

3

They received from Moses all the  1contributions which the sons of Israel had brought  2to perform the work  3in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.

4

And all the  1skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from  2the work which  3he was performing,

5

and they said to  1Moses, " aThe people are bringing much more than enough for the  2construction work which the LORD commanded us to  3perform."

6

So Moses issued a command, and a  1proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the  2contributions of the sanctuary." Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more.

7

 aFor the  1material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.

Construction Proceeds

8

 aAll the  1skillful men among those who were performing the work made the  2tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and  3blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman,  4Bezalel made them.

9

The length of each curtain was twenty-eight  1cubits and the width of each curtain four  1cubits; all the curtains had  2the same measurements.

10

He  1joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he  1joined to one another.

11

He made loops of  1blue on the edge of the  2outermost curtain in the first  3set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was  2outermost in the second  3set.

12

He made  afifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the  1edge of the curtain that was in the second  2set; the loops were opposite each other.

13

He made  afifty clasps of gold and  1joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was  2a unit.

14

Then  ahe made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains  1in all.

15

The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had  1the same measurements.

16

He  1joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves.

17

Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first  1set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second  1set.

18

He made fifty clasps of  1bronze to  2join the tent together so that it would be  3a unit.

19

He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins  1dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above.

20

 aThen he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.

21

Ten cubits was the length of  1each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.

22

There were two tenons for each board,  1fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23

He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards  1for the south side;

24

and he made forty  1sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two  1sockets under one board for its two tenons and two  1sockets under another board for its two tenons.

25

Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,

26

and their forty  1sockets of silver; two  1sockets under one board and two  1sockets under another board.

27

For the  1rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards.

28

He made two boards for the corners of the  1tabernacle at the  2rear.

29

They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its  1top  2to the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners.

30

There were eight boards with their  1sockets of silver, sixteen  1sockets,  2two under every board.

31

Then he made  abars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,

32

and five bars for the boards of the  1other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the  2rear side to the west.

33

He made the middle bar to pass through in the  1center of the boards from end to end.

34

He overlaid the boards with gold and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35

 aMoreover, he made the veil of  1blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.

36

He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four  1sockets of silver for them.

37

He made a  ascreen for the doorway of the tent, of  1blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a  2weaver;

38

and he made its  afive pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their  1bands with gold; but their five  2sockets were of  3bronze.
