1Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had commanded.

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."

2And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:

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.

3And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.

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.

4And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

4All the craftsmen who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left the work they were doing

5And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

5and told Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the work that the LORD has commanded us to do."

6And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

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,

7For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

7since the material was more than sufficient for doing all the work.

8And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.

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.

9The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.

9The length of each curtain was 28 cubits, and the width of each curtain two cubits. All the curtains had the same measurements.

10And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.

10He joined five of the curtains together, and the other five curtains he joined together.

11And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.

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.

12Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.

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.

13And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.

13Then he made 50 gold clasps, and joined the curtains to each other with the clasps so the tent was one piece.

14And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

14He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tent; he made 11 curtains.

15The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.

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.

16And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

16He joined five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.

17And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.

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.

18And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

20And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.

20Then he made upright boards of acacia wood for the tent.

21The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.

21Each board was ten cubits long, and one and a half cubits wide.

22One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.

22Each board had two pegs, joined to one another, and he did this for all the boards of the tent.

23And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:

23He made the boards for the tent: 20 boards for the south side.

24And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.

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.

25And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,

25For the second side of the tent to the north he made 20 boards,

26And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

26and 40 silver sockets for them, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board.

27And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

27For the rear of the tent on the west he made six boards,

28And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.

28and he made two boards for the rear corners of the tent.

29And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.

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.

30And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.

30There were eight boards with their sixteen silver sockets, two sockets under each board.

31And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

31Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards on one side of the tent,

32And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.

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.

33And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.

33He made the middle bar in the center of the boards pass through from end to end.

34And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

34He overlaid the boards with gold, and made gold rings for them as holders for the bars, and he overlaid the bars with gold.
