Day 31 of 364

^36:1“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.” ^36:2Moses 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. ^36:3They 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. ^36:4All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which he did. ^36:5They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make.” ^36:6Moses 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. ^36:7For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and too much. ^36:8All 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. ^36:9The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure. ^36:10He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another. ^36:11He 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. ^36:12He 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. ^36:13He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit. ^36:14He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains. ^36:15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure. ^36:16He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves. ^36:17He 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. ^36:18He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit. ^36:19He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above. ^36:20He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up. ^36:21Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board. ^36:22Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way. ^36:23He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward. ^36:24He 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. ^36:25For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards ^36:26and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. ^36:27For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. ^36:28He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part. ^36:29They 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. ^36:30There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets—under every board two sockets. ^36:31He made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, ^36:32and 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. ^36:33He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other. ^36:34He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold. ^36:35He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman. ^36:36He 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. ^36:37He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer; ^36:38and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze. ^37:1Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood. Its length was two and a half cubits, and its width a cubit and a half, and a cubit and a half its height. ^37:2He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a molding of gold for it around it. ^37:3He cast four rings of gold for it in its four feet—two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side. ^37:4He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. ^37:5He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. ^37:6He made a mercy seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit and a half its width. ^37:7He made two cherubim of gold. He made them of beaten work, at the two ends of the mercy seat: ^37:8one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. ^37:9The cherubim spread out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat. ^37:10He made the table of acacia wood. Its length was two cubits, and its width was a cubit, and its height was a cubit and a half. ^37:11He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. ^37:12He made a border of a hand’s width around it, and made a golden molding on its border around it. ^37:13He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were on its four feet. ^37:14The rings were close by the border, the places for the poles to carry the table. ^37:15He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. ^37:16He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure gold. ^37:17He made the lamp stand of pure gold. He made the lamp stand of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one piece with it. ^37:18There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lamp stand out of its one side, and three branches of the lamp stand out of its other side: ^37:19three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the lamp stand. ^37:20In the lamp stand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers; ^37:21and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it. ^37:22Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold. ^37:23He made its seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, of pure gold. ^37:24He made it of a talent of pure gold, with all its vessels. ^37:25He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. It was square: its length was a cubit, and its width a cubit. Its height was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it. ^37:26He overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides around it, and its horns. He made a gold molding around it. ^37:27He made two golden rings for it under its molding crown, on its two ribs, on its two sides, for places for poles with which to carry it. ^37:28He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. ^37:29He made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer. ^38:1He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square. Its length was five cubits, its width was five cubits, and its height was three cubits. ^38:2He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. ^38:3He made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its vessels of bronze. ^38:4He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. ^38:5He cast four rings for the four corners of bronze grating, to be places for the poles. ^38:6He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. ^38:7He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks. ^38:8He made the basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, out of the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the Tent of Meeting. ^38:9He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits; ^38:10their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. ^38:11For the north side one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. ^38:12For the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. ^38:13For the east side eastward fifty cubits, ^38:14the hangings for the one side were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three; ^38:15and so for the other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. ^38:16All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen. ^38:17The sockets for the pillars were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. Their capitals were overlaid with silver. All the pillars of the court had silver bands. ^38:18The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Twenty cubits was the length, and the height along the width was five cubits, like the hangings of the court. ^38:19Their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of bronze; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver. ^38:20All the pins of the tabernacle, and around the court, were of bronze. ^38:21These are the amounts of materials used for the tabernacle, even the Tabernacle of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. ^38:22Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. ^38:23With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen. ^38:24All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. ^38:25The silver of those who were counted of the congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary: ^38:26a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were counted, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men. ^38:27The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil: one hundred sockets for the one hundred talents, one talent per socket. ^38:28From the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them. ^38:29The bronze of the offering was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels. ^38:30With this he made the sockets to the door of the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, all the vessels of the altar, ^38:31the sockets around the court, the sockets of the gate of the court, all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins around the court.
