New International VersionChristian Standard Bible
1So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the LORD has commanded."1Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people are to work based on everything the LORD has commanded. The LORD has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary."
2Then Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work.2So Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person in whose heart the LORD had placed wisdom, all whose hearts moved them, to come to the work and do it.
3They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.3They took from Moses's presence all the contributions that the Israelites had brought for the task of making the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.
4So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing4Then all the artisans who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing
5and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done."5and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than is needed for the construction of the work the LORD commanded to be done."
6Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." And so the people were restrained from bringing more,6After Moses gave an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: "Let no man or woman make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." So the people stopped.
7because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.7The materials were sufficient for them to do all the work. There was more than enough.
8All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands.8All the skilled artisans among those doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.
9All the curtains were the same size--twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.9Each curtain was forty-two feet long and six feet wide; all the curtains had the same measurements.
10They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five.10He joined five of the curtains to each other, and the other five curtains he joined to each other.
11Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set.11He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set and did the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.
12They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.12He made fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other.
13Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.13He also made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle became a single unit.
14They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle--eleven altogether.14He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven of them.
15All eleven curtains were the same size--thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.15Each curtain was forty-five feet long and six feet wide. All eleven curtains had the same measurements.
16They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set.16He joined five of the curtains together, and the other six together.
17Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.17He made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set and fifty loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.
18They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.18He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together as a single unit.
19Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.19He also made a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather on top of it.
20They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.20He made upright supports of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
21Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,21Each support was fifteen feet long and twenty-seven inches wide.
22with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.22Each support had two tenons for joining one to another. He did the same for all the supports of the tabernacle.
23They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle23He made supports for the tabernacle as follows: twenty for the south side,
24and made forty silver bases to go under them--two bases for each frame, one under each projection.24and he made forty silver bases to put under the twenty supports, two bases under the first support for its two tenons, and two bases under each of the following supports for their two tenons;
25For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames25for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty supports,
26and forty silver bases--two under each frame.26with their forty silver bases, two bases under the first support and two bases under each of the following ones;
27They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,27and for the back of the tabernacle, on the west side, he made six supports.
28and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end.28He also made two additional supports for the two back corners of the tabernacle.
29At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike.29They were paired at the bottom and joined together at the top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners.
30So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases--two under each frame.30So there were eight supports with their sixteen silver bases, two bases under each one.
31They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,31He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the supports on one side of the tabernacle,
32five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.32five crossbars for the supports on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for those at the back of the tabernacle on the west.
33They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames.33He made the central crossbar run through the middle of the supports from one end to the other.
34They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.34He overlaid them with gold and made their rings out of gold as holders for the crossbars. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
35They made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.35Then he made the curtain with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. He made it with a design of cherubim worked into it.
36They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases.36He made four pillars of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold. And he cast four silver bases for the pillars.
37For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen--the work of an embroiderer;37He made a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen for the entrance to the tent,
38and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.38together with its five pillars and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the pillars and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.
