International Standard Version | New International Version |
1Bezalel and Oholiab and all the skilled craftsmen to whom the LORD gave wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work in constructing the sanctuary are to do everything that the LORD has commanded." | 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." |
2Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people to whom the LORD had given ability, including everyone whose hearts stirred them to come forward to do the work. | 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. |
3They received from Moses all the offerings that the Israelis had brought for doing the work of constructing the sanctuary, and the people continued to bring freewill offerings every morning. | 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. |
4All the craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left the work they were doing | 4So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing |
5and told Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the work that the LORD has commanded us to do." | 5and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done." |
6Then Moses issued an order, and the message was taken throughout the camp, "Men and women, don't bring any more offerings for the sanctuary." The people were restrained from bringing any more, | 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, |
7since the material was more than sufficient for doing all the work. | 7because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work. |
8All the skilled craftsmen among the workers made the tent with ten curtains of fine woven linen, blue, purple, and scarlet material. He made them with cherubim skillfully worked into them. | 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. |
9The length of each curtain was 28 cubits, and the width of each curtain two cubits. All the curtains had the same measurements. | 9All the curtains were the same size--twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide. |
10He joined five of the curtains together, and the other five curtains he joined together. | 10They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five. |
11He made loops of blue material along the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and likewise, he made loops along the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set. | 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. |
12He made 50 loops in the one curtain, and he made 50 loops along the edge of the curtain that is in the second set, with the loops opposite each other. | 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. |
13Then he made 50 gold clasps, and joined the curtains to each other with the clasps so the tent was one piece. | 13Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit. |
14He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tent; he made 11 curtains. | 14They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle--eleven altogether. |
15The length of each curtain was 30 cubits, and the width of each curtain was two cubits; the measurements of each of the eleven curtains was the same. | 15All eleven curtains were the same size--thirty cubits long and four cubits wide. |
16He joined five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. | 16They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set. |
17He made 50 loops along the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and 50 loops along the edge of the curtain of the other set. | 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. |
18He made 50 bronze clasps to join the tent together so it would be one piece. | 18They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit. |
19Then he made a cover for the tent of ram skins dyed red and a covering of dolphin skins above that. | 19Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather. |
20Then he made upright boards of acacia wood for the tent. | 20They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle. |
21Each board was ten cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide. | 21Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide, |
22Each board had two pegs, joined to one another, and he did this for all the boards of the tent. | 22with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. |
23He made the boards for the tent: 20 boards for the south side. | 23They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle |
24He made 40 silver sockets under the 20 boards: two sockets under one board for its two pegs and two sockets under the next board for its two pegs. | 24and made forty silver bases to go under them--two bases for each frame, one under each projection. |
25For the second side of the tent to the north he made 20 boards, | 25For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames |
26and 40 silver sockets for them, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board. | 26and forty silver bases--two under each frame. |
27For the rear of the tent on the west he made six boards, | 27They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle, |
28and he made two boards for the rear corners of the tent. | 28and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end. |
29They were joined together at the bottom and they were connected on top, by one ring. He did this for the two of them, and they were the two corners. | 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. |
30There were eight boards with their sixteen silver sockets, two sockets under each board. | 30So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases--two under each frame. |
31Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the tent, | 31They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle, |
32five bars for the boards on the second side of the tent, and five bars for the boards on the back side of the tent to the west. | 32five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle. |
33He made the middle bar in the center of the boards pass through from end to end. | 33They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames. |
34He overlaid the boards with gold, and made gold rings for them as holders for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold. | 34They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold. |
35He made a curtain of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine woven linen. He made it with cherubim skillfully worked into it. | 35They made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker. |
36He made four pillars of acacia for it and overlaid them with gold, along with their gold hooks, and he cast four silver sockets for them. | 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. |
37For the doorway of the tent, he made a screen of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine woven linen, the work of an embroiderer, | 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; |
38and five pillars of acacia along with their hooks. He overlaid their tops and their bands with gold. Their five sockets were made of bronze. | 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. |
