Exodus 36 – New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Tabernacle Underwritten

1 “Now Bezalel ^H1212, Oholiab ^H171, and every ^H3605 [fn]skillful ^H2450 H3820 person ^H376 in whom ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 has put ^H5414 [fn]skill ^H2451 and understanding ^H8394 to know ^H3045 how to perform ^H6213 all ^H3605 the work ^H4399 [fn]in the construction ^H5656 of the sanctuary ^H6944, shall perform ^H6213 in accordance with everything ^H3605 that the LORD ^H3068 has commanded ^H6680.”

2 Then Moses ^H4872 called ^H7121 Bezalel ^H1212, Oholiab ^H171, and every ^H3605 [fn]skillful ^H2450 H3820 person ^H376 in [fn]whom ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 had put ^H5414 [fn]skill ^H2451, everyone ^H3605 whose ^H834 heart ^H3820 stirred ^H5375 him, to come ^H7126 to the work ^H4399 to perform ^H6213 it.

3 They received ^H3947 from Moses ^H4872 every ^H3605 [fn]contribution ^H8641 which ^H834 the sons ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 had brought ^H935 to perform ^H6213 [fn]the work ^H4399 [fn]in the construction ^H5656 of the sanctuary ^H6944. And they still ^H5750 continued bringing ^H935 to him [fn]voluntary ^H5071 offerings ^H5071 every ^H1242 morning ^H1242. 4 And all ^H3605 the [fn]skillful ^H2450 people ^H2450 who were performing ^H6213 all ^H3605 the work ^H4399 of the sanctuary ^H6944 came ^H935, each ^H376 from [fn]the work ^H4399 which ^H834 they were performing ^H6213, 5 and they said ^H559 to [fn]Moses ^H4872, “The people ^H5971 are bringing ^H935 much ^H7235 more ^H7235 than ^H4480 enough ^H1767 for the [fn]construction ^H5656 work ^H5656 which ^H834 the LORD ^H3068 commanded ^H6680 us to [fn]perform ^H6213.” 6 So Moses ^H4872 issued ^H6680 a ^H6680 command ^H6680, and circulated ^H5674 a [fn]proclamation ^H6963 throughout the camp ^H4264, saying ^H559, “No ^H408 man ^H376 or woman ^H802 is to perform ^H6213 work ^H4399 any ^H5750 longer ^H5750 for the [fn]contributions ^H8641 of the sanctuary ^H6944.” So the people ^H5971 were restrained ^H3607 from bringing ^H935 any more. 7 For the [fn]material ^H4399 they had ^H1961 was sufficient ^H1767 and more ^H3498 than ^H3498 enough ^H3498 for all ^H3605 the work ^H4399, to perform ^H6213 it.

Construction Begins

8 All ^H3605 the [fn]skillful ^H2450 H3820 people ^H2450 among those who were performing ^H6213 the work ^H4399 made ^H6213 the [fn]tabernacle ^H4908 with ten ^H6235 curtains ^H3407; of fine ^H8336 twisted ^H7806 linen ^H8336 and [fn]violet ^H8504, purple ^H713, and scarlet ^H8144 material, with cherubim ^H3742, the work ^H4639 of a skilled ^H2803 embroiderer ^H2803, [fn]Bezalel made ^H6213 them.

9 The length ^H753 of each ^H259 curtain ^H3407 was [fn]twenty-eight ^H6242 H8083 cubits ^H520, and the width ^H7341 of each ^H259 curtain ^H3407 four ^H702 cubits ^H520; all ^H3605 the curtains ^H3407 had [fn]the same ^H259 measurements ^H4060. 10 He [fn]joined ^H2266 five ^H2568 curtains ^H3407 to one ^H259 another ^H259, and the other five ^H2568 curtains ^H3407 he [fn]joined ^H2266 to one ^H259 another ^H259. 11 And he made ^H6213 loops ^H3924 of violet ^H8504 on the edge ^H8193 of the [fn]outermost ^H7098 curtain ^H3407 in the first ^H259 [fn]set ^H4225; he did ^H6213 likewise ^H3651 on the edge ^H8193 of the curtain ^H3407 that was [fn]outermost ^H7020 in the second ^H8145 [fn]set ^H4225. 12 He made ^H6213 fifty ^H2572 loops ^H3924 in the one ^H259 curtain ^H3407, and he made ^H6213 fifty ^H2572 loops ^H3924 on the [fn]edge ^H7097 of the curtain ^H3407 that was in the second ^H8145 [fn]set ^H4225; the loops ^H3924 were opposite ^H6901 each ^H259 other ^H259. 13 He also made ^H6213 fifty ^H2572 clasps ^H7165 of gold ^H2091, and [fn]joined ^H2266 the curtains ^H3407 to one ^H259 another ^H259 with the clasps ^H7165, so that the tabernacle ^H4908 was [fn]a unit ^H259.

14 Then he made ^H6213 curtains ^H3407 of goats’ ^H5795 hair for a tent ^H168 over ^H5921 the tabernacle ^H4908; he [fn]made ^H6213 eleven ^H6249 H6240 curtains ^H3407 in all. 15 The length ^H753 of each ^H259 curtain ^H3407 was thirty ^H7970 cubits ^H520, and four ^H702 cubits ^H520 was the width ^H7341 of each ^H259 curtain ^H3407; the eleven ^H6249 H6240 curtains ^H3407 had [fn]the same ^H259 measurements ^H4060. 16 He [fn]joined ^H2266 five ^H2568 curtains ^H3407 by ^H905 themselves ^H905, and the other six ^H8337 curtains ^H3407 by ^H905 themselves ^H905. 17 Moreover, he made ^H6213 fifty ^H2572 loops ^H3924 on the edge ^H8193 of the curtain ^H3407 that was outermost ^H7020 in the first [fn]set ^H4225, and he made ^H6213 fifty ^H2572 loops ^H3924 on the edge ^H8193 of the curtain ^H3407 that was outermost in the second ^H8145 [fn]set ^H2279. 18 He also made ^H6213 fifty ^H2572 clasps ^H7165 of [fn]bronze ^H5178 to [fn]join ^H2266 the tent ^H168 together ^H2266 so that it would be [fn]a unit ^H259. 19 And he made ^H6213 a covering ^H4372 for the tent ^H168 of rams’ ^H352 skins ^H5785 [fn]dyed ^H119 red ^H119, and a covering ^H4372 of [fn]fine ^H8476 leather ^H5785 above ^H4480 H4605.

20 Then he made ^H6213 the boards ^H7175 for the tabernacle ^H4908 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086, standing ^H5975 upright ^H5975. 21 Ten ^H6235 cubits ^H520 was the length ^H753 of [fn]each board ^H7175, and one and a half ^H2677 cubits ^H520 the width ^H7341 of each ^H259 board ^H7175. 22 There were two ^H8147 tenons ^H3027 for each ^H259 board ^H7175, [fn]fitted ^H7947 to one ^H259 another ^H259; he did ^H6213 this ^H3651 to all ^H3605 the boards ^H7175 of the tabernacle ^H4908. 23 So he made ^H6213 the boards ^H7175 for the tabernacle ^H4908: twenty ^H6242 boards ^H7175 [fn]for the south ^H5045 H8486 side ^H6285; 24 and he made ^H6213 forty ^H705 bases ^H134 of silver ^H3701 under ^H8478 the twenty ^H6242 boards ^H7175; two ^H8147 bases ^H134 under ^H8478 one ^H259 board ^H7175 for its two ^H8147 tenons ^H3027, and two ^H8147 bases ^H134 under ^H8478 another ^H259 board ^H7175 for its two ^H8147 tenons ^H3027. 25 Then for the second ^H8145 side ^H6763 of the tabernacle ^H4908, on the north ^H6828 side ^H6285, he made ^H6213 twenty ^H6242 boards ^H7175, 26 and their forty ^H705 bases ^H134 of silver ^H3701; two ^H8147 bases ^H134 under ^H8478 one ^H259 board ^H7175, and two ^H8147 bases ^H134 under ^H8478 another ^H259 board ^H7175. 27 And for the [fn]back ^H3411 of the tabernacle ^H4908, to the west ^H3220, he made ^H6213 six ^H8337 boards ^H7175. 28 He made ^H6213 two ^H8147 boards ^H7175 for the corners ^H4740 of the [fn]tabernacle ^H4908 at the [fn]back ^H3411. 29 They were double ^H8382 beneath ^H4295, and together ^H3162 they were complete ^H8535 to its [fn]top ^H7218, [fn]to the first ^H259 ring ^H2885; he did ^H6213 this ^H3651 with both ^H8147 of them for the two ^H8147 corners ^H4740. 30 There were eight ^H8083 boards ^H7175 with their bases ^H134 of silver ^H3701, sixteen ^H8337 H6240 bases ^H134, two ^H8147 bases ^H134 under ^H8478 every ^H259 board ^H7175.

31 Then he made ^H6213 bars ^H1280 of acacia ^H7848 wood ^H6086, five ^H2568 for the boards ^H7175 of one ^H259 side ^H6763 of the tabernacle ^H4908, 32 and five ^H2568 bars ^H1280 for the boards ^H7175 of the [fn]other ^H8145 side ^H6763 of the tabernacle ^H4908, and five ^H2568 bars ^H1280 for the boards ^H7175 of the tabernacle ^H4908 for the [fn]back ^H3411 side to the west ^H3220. 33 And he made ^H6213 the middle ^H8484 bar ^H1280 to pass ^H1272 through ^H1272 in the [fn]center ^H8432 of the boards ^H7175 from end ^H7097 to end ^H7097. 34 Then he overlaid ^H6823 the boards ^H7175 with gold ^H2091, and made ^H6213 their rings ^H2885 of gold ^H2091 as holders ^H1004 for the bars ^H1280, and overlaid ^H6823 the bars ^H1280 with gold ^H2091.

35 Moreover, he made ^H6213 the veil ^H6532 of violet ^H8504, purple ^H713, and scarlet ^H8144 material, and fine ^H8336 twisted ^H7806 linen ^H8336; he made ^H6213 it with cherubim ^H3742, the work ^H4639 of a skilled ^H2803 embroiderer ^H2803. 36 And he made ^H6213 four ^H702 pillars ^H5982 of acacia ^H7848 for it, and overlaid ^H6823 them with gold ^H2091, with their hooks ^H2053 of gold ^H2091; and he cast ^H3332 four ^H702 bases ^H134 of silver ^H3701 for them. 37 He also made ^H6213 a curtain ^H4539 for the doorway ^H6607 of the tent ^H168, of violet ^H8504, purple ^H713, and scarlet ^H8144 material, and fine ^H8336 twisted ^H7806 linen ^H8336, the work ^H4639 of a [fn]weaver ^H7551; 38 and he made its five ^H2568 pillars ^H5982 with their hooks ^H2053, and he overlaid ^H6823 their tops ^H7218 and their [fn]bands ^H2838 with gold ^H2091; but their five ^H2568 bases ^H134 were of [fn]bronze ^H5178.
