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.

1"Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skillful person in whom the LORD has put skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all 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 called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skillful person in whom the LORD had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it.

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 contributions which the sons of Israel had brought to perform the work in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him 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;

4And all the skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing,

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 they said to Moses, "The people are bringing much more than enough for the construction work which the LORD commanded us to perform."

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.

6So Moses issued a command, and a proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the contributions of the sanctuary." Thus 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.

7For the material they had was sufficient and more than enough for all the work, to perform it.

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 skillful men among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, Bezalel made 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 twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four 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 curtains to one another and the other five curtains he joined to one another.

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 on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set; he did likewise on the edge of the curtain that was outermost 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 fifty loops in the one curtain and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were 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.

13He made fifty clasps of gold and joined the curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was a unit.

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

14Then he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all.

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 thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had the same measurements.

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

16He joined five curtains by themselves and the other 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.

17Moreover, he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the first set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second set.

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

20Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing upright.

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

21Ten cubits was the length of each board and one and a half cubits the width of each board.

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

22There were two tenons for each board, fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

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

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 double beneath, and together they were complete to its top to the first ring; thus he did with both of them for the two corners.
