36:2 Moses summoned 7 Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom 8 the Lord had put skill – everyone whose heart stirred him 9 to volunteer 10 to do the work, 36:3 and they received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do 11 the work for the service of the sanctuary, and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning. 12 36:4 So all the skilled people who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came from the work 13 they were doing 36:5 and told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than 14 is needed for the completion 15 of the work which the Lord commanded us to do!” 16
36:6 Moses instructed them to take 17 his message 18 throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing any more. 19 36:7 Now the materials were more than enough 20 for them to do all the work. 21
36:8 All the skilled among those who were doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet; they were made with cherubim that were the work of an artistic designer. 36:9 The length of one curtain was forty-two feet, and the width of one curtain was six feet – the same size for each of the curtains. 36:10 He joined 22 five of the curtains to one another, and the other 23 five curtains he joined to one another. 36:11 He made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in the first set; he did the same along the edge of the end curtain in the second set. 36:12 He made fifty loops on the first curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end curtain that was in the second set, with the loops opposite one another. 36:13 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains together to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit. 24
36:14 He made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains. 25 36:15 The length of one curtain was forty-five feet, and the width of one curtain was six feet – one size for all eleven curtains. 36:16 He joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves. 36:17 He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in the first set and fifty loops along the edge of the curtain that joined the second set. 36:18 He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together so that it might be a unit. 26 36:19 He made a covering for the tent out of ram skins dyed red and over that a covering of fine leather. 27
36:20 He made the frames 28 for the tabernacle of acacia wood 29 as uprights. 30 36:21 The length of each 31 frame was fifteen feet, the width of each 32 frame was two and a quarter feet, 36:22 with 33 two projections per frame parallel one to another. 34 He made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way. 36:23 So he made frames for the tabernacle: twenty frames for the south side. 36:24 He made forty silver bases under the twenty frames – two bases under the first frame for its two projections, and likewise 35 two bases under the next frame for its two projections, 36:25 and for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames 36:26 and their forty silver bases, two bases under the first frame and two bases under the next 36 frame. 36:27 And for the back of the tabernacle on the west he made six frames. 36:28 He made two frames for the corners of the tabernacle on the back. 36:29 At the two corners 37 they were doubled at the lower end and 38 finished together at the top in one ring. So he did for both. 36:30 So there were eight frames and their silver bases, sixteen bases, two bases under each frame.
36:31 He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle
