The
Tabernacle Underwritten |
|
|
 |
| Exodus 36:1 |
|
"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." |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:2 |
|
Then 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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 36:3 |
|
They 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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 36:4 |
|
And all the skillful men who were performing
all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing,
|
| |
|
|
| Exodus 36:5 |
|
and they said to Moses, "The people are bringing
much more than enough for the construction work which the LORD commanded us to
perform." |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 36:6 |
|
So 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. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 36:7 |
|
For the material they had was sufficient and
more than enough for all the work, to perform it. |
| |

Construction
Proceeds |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:8 |
|
All 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:9 |
|
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight
cubits and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same
measurements. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:10 |
|
He joined five curtains to one another and the
other five curtains he joined to one another. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:11 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:12 |
|
He 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:13 |
|
He made fifty clasps of gold and joined the
curtains to one another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was a unit. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:14 |
|
Then he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent
over the tabernacle; he made eleven curtains in all. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:15 |
|
The length of each curtain was thirty cubits
and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had the same measurements. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:16 |
|
He joined five curtains by themselves and the
other six curtains by themselves. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:17 |
|
Moreover, 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. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:18 |
|
He made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent
together so that it would be a unit. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:19 |
|
He made a covering for the tent of rams' skins
dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 36:20 |
|
Then he made the boards for the tabernacle of
acacia wood, standing upright. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 36:21 |
|
Ten cubits was the length of each board and
one and a half cubits the width of each board. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:22 |
|
There were two tenons for each board, fitted
to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:23 |
|
He made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty
boards for the south side; |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:24 |
|
and 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:25 |
|
Then for the second side of the tabernacle,
on the north side, he made twenty boards, |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:26 |
|
and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets
under one board and two sockets under another board. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:27 |
|
For the rear of the tabernacle, to the west,
he made six boards. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:28 |
|
He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle
at the rear. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:29 |
|
They 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. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:30 |
|
There were eight boards with their sockets of
silver, sixteen sockets, two under every board. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:31 |
|
Then he made bars of acacia wood, five for the
boards of one side of the tabernacle, |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:32 |
|
and five bars for the boards of the other side
of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the rear
side to the west. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:33 |
|
He made the middle bar to pass through in the
center of the boards from end to end. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:34 |
|
He overlaid the boards with gold and made their
rings of gold as holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:35 |
|
Moreover, he made the veil of blue and purple
and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen; he made it with cherubim, the work
of a skillful workman. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:36 |
|
He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid
them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and he cast four sockets of silver for
them. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:37 |
|
He made a screen for the doorway of the tent,
of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of a
weaver; |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 36:38 |
|
and he made its five pillars with their hooks,
and he overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; but their five sockets were
of bronze. |
