Exodus - Chapter 36

	Exd 36:1	"Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every [fn]skillful person in whom the LORD has put [fn]skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work [fn]in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded."
	Exd 36:2	Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every [fn]skillful person in [fn]whom the LORD had put [fn]skill, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it.
	Exd 36:3	They received from Moses all the [fn]contributions which the sons of Israel had brought [fn]to perform the work [fn]in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.
	Exd 36:4	And all the [fn]skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from [fn]the work which [fn]he was performing,
	Exd 36:5	and they said to [fn]Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the [fn]construction work which the LORD commanded us to [fn]perform."
	Exd 36:6	So Moses issued a command, and a [fn]proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the [fn]contributions of the sanctuary." Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more.
	Exd 36:7	For the [fn]material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.
	Exd 36:8	All the [fn]skillful men among those who were performing the work made the [fn]tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, [fn]Bezalel made them.
	Exd 36:9	The length of each curtain was twenty-eight [fn]cubits and the width of each curtain four [fn]cubits; all the curtains had [fn]the same measurements.
	Exd 36:10	He [fn]joined five curtains to one another and the other five curtains he [fn]joined to one another.
	Exd 36:11	He made loops of [fn]blue on the edge of the [fn]outermost curtain in the first [fn]set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was [fn]outermost in the second [fn]set.
	Exd 36:12	He made fifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the [fn]edge of the curtain that was in the second [fn]set; the loops were opposite each other.
	Exd 36:13	He made fifty clasps of gold and [fn]joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was [fn]a unit.
	Exd 36:14	Then he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains [fn]in all.
	Exd 36:15	The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had [fn]the same measurements.
	Exd 36:16	He [fn]joined five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves.
	Exd 36:17	Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first [fn]set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second [fn]set.
	Exd 36:18	He made fifty clasps of [fn]bronze to [fn]join the tent together so that it would be [fn]a unit.
	Exd 36:19	He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins [fn]dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above.
	Exd 36:20	Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.
	Exd 36:21	Ten cubits was the length of [fn]each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.
	Exd 36:22	There were two tenons for each board, [fn]fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.
	Exd 36:23	He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards [fn]for the south side;
	Exd 36:24	and he made forty [fn]sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two [fn]sockets under one board for its two tenons and two [fn]sockets under another board for its two tenons.
	Exd 36:25	Then for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
	Exd 36:26	and their forty [fn]sockets of silver; two [fn]sockets under one board and two [fn]sockets under another board.
	Exd 36:27	For the [fn]rear of the tabernacle, to the west, he made six boards.
	Exd 36:28	He made two boards for the corners of the [fn]tabernacle at the [fn]rear.
	Exd 36:29	They were double beneath, and together they were complete to its [fn]top [fn]to the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners.
	Exd 36:30	There were eight boards with their [fn]sockets of silver, sixteen [fn]sockets, [fn]two under every board.
	Exd 36:31	Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of one side of the tabernacle,
	Exd 36:32	and five bars for the boards of the [fn]other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the [fn]rear side to the west.
	Exd 36:33	He made the middle bar to pass through in the [fn]center of the boards from end to end.
	Exd 36:34	He overlaid the boards with gold and made their rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
	Exd 36:35	Moreover, he made the veil of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.
	Exd 36:36	He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four [fn]sockets of silver for them.
	Exd 36:37	He made a screen for the doorway of the tent, of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a [fn]weaver;
	Exd 36:38	and he made its five pillars with their hooks, and he overlaid their tops and their [fn]bands with gold; but their five [fn]sockets were of [fn]bronze.
