- Kapitel 36 -

1
Bezalel and Oholiab will take up this work along with all the other gifted men to whom Yahweh had given skills and the understanding to do all the work needed to build up the sacred tent. These men followed all the instructions that Yahweh gave them.
2
So Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other skilled men to whom Yahweh had given special ability and who wanted to do some of the work.
3
Moses gave them all the things that the people had brought as offerings to Yahweh for making the sacred tent. But the people continued bringing more things every morning.
4
As a result, the men who were doing various things to make the sacred tent came to Moses, each of them what Yahweh commanded them.
5
So the craftsmen said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than we need to do the work that Yahweh has commanded us!”
6
So Moses gave them a message that others proclaimed throughout the camp, saying “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the sacred tent!” When the people heard that, they did not bring anything more.
7
What they had already brought was enough to do all the work. In fact, it was more than was needed!

The Ten Curtains for the Tabernacle

(Exodus 26:1–6)
8
All the most skilled men among the workmen made the sacred tent. They made it from ten strips of fine linen, and they carefully embroidered it using blue, purple, and red woolen yarn to make figures that resembled the winged creatures. Bezalel designed all this.
9
Each strip was twelve and four-fifths meters long and one and four-fifths meters wide.
10
Bezalel and his men sewed five strips together to make one set, and they sewed the other five strips together to make the other set.
11
For each set, Bezalel and his men made loops of blue cloth and fastened them on the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
12
They put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
13
They made 50 gold fasteners to attach both of the sets together. In that way, the inside of the sacred tent was as though it were one piece.

The Eleven Curtains of Goat Hair

(Exodus 26:7–14)
14
Bezalel and his men made a cover for the sacred tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
15
Each piece of cloth was eighteen and one-third meters long and one and four-fifths meters wide.
16
They sewed five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and they sewed the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set.
17
They made one hundred loops of blue cloth. They fastened fifty of them to the outer edge of the one set and they fastened fifty to the outer edge of the other set.
18
Bezalel and his men made 50 bronze clasps and joined the two sets together with them. In that way it formed one cover.
19
They made two more covers for the sacred tent. They made one from rams’ skins that had been tanned, and they made the top cover from goatskin leather.

The Frames and Bases

(Exodus 26:15–30)
20
Bezalel and his men made forty-eight frames from acacia wood and set them up to support the covers for the sacred tent.
21
Each frame was four and three-fifths meters long and three-quarters of a meter wide.
22
They made two projections at the bottom of each frame. These were for fastening the frames to the bases underneath them. Each frame had these projections.
23
The skilled workmen made twenty frames for the south side of the sacred tent.
24
Bezalel and his men made forty silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases went under each frame. The projections on each frame fit into these bases.
25
Similarly, they made twenty frames for the north side of the sacred tent.
26
They also made forty silver bases for them with two bases under each frame.
27
For the rear of the sacred tent, on the west side, Bezalel and his men made six frames.
28
They also made two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the sacred tent, to provide extra support.
29
The two corner frames were separate from each other at the bottom but joined together at the top. At the top of each of the two corner frames, Bezalel and his men fastened a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
30
In that way, for the rear of the sacred tent there were eight frames, and there were 16 bases, two bases under each frame.
31
Bezalel and his men made 15 crossbars from acacia wood. five of them were for the frames on the north side of the sacred tent,
32
five for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the sacred tent, the west side.
33
The workmen made crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the sacred tent and fastened them to the middle of the frames. The two long crossbars extended from one end of the sacred tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side extended from one side of the sacred tent to the other.
34
The workmen covered the frames with gold and fastened gold rings to the poles. They then put the crossbars into the rings. They also covered the crossbars with gold.

The Veil

(Exodus 26:31–35)
35
Bezalel and his men made a curtain from fine white linen. Skilled craftsmen embroidered it with blue, purple, and red woolen yarn, making designs to represent the winged creatures.
36
They hung the curtain from four posts that were made from acacia wood and covered with gold. They set each post in a silver base.

The Curtain for the Entrance

(Exodus 26:36–37)
37
Bezalel and his men made a curtain to cover the entrance of the sacred tent. They made it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver embroidered it with blue, purple, and red woolen yarn.
38
To support this curtain, they also made five posts from acacia wood and fastened gold clasps to them. They covered the posts and their rods with gold and made a bronze base for each of those posts.
1
Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD has commanded.”
2
Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it.
3
They received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They kept bringing free will offerings to him every morning.
4
All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which he did.
5
They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make.”
6
Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing.
7
For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and too much.

The Ten Curtains for the Tabernacle

(Exodus 26:1–6)
8
All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet. They made them with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.
9
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,(a) and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10
He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11
He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the second coupling.
12
He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite to one another.
13
He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.

The Eleven Curtains of Goat Hair

(Exodus 26:7–14)
14
He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
15
The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.
16
He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17
He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second coupling.
18
He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.
19
He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

The Frames and Bases

(Exodus 26:15–30)
20
He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.
21
Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board.
22
Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.
23
He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.
24
He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards: two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
25
For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards
26
and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27
For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28
He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.
29
They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did this to both of them in the two corners.
30
There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets—under every board two sockets.
31
He made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.
33
He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other.
34
He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

The Veil

(Exodus 26:31–35)
35
He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.
36
He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.

The Curtain for the Entrance

(Exodus 26:36–37)
37
He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
38
and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.
