New Living Translation

1So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the LORD has commanded."

1“The LORD has gifted Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the LORD has commanded.”

2Then Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work.

2So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the LORD and were eager to get to work.

3They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.

3Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning.

4So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing

4Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work.

5and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done."

5They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the LORD has commanded us to do!”

6Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." And so the people were restrained from bringing more,

6So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings.

7because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.

7Their contributions were more than enough to complete the whole project. Building the Tabernacle

8All those who were skilled among the workers made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by expert hands.

8The skilled craftsmen made ten curtains of finely woven linen for the Tabernacle. Then Bezalel decorated the curtains with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

9All the curtains were the same size--twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide.

9All ten curtains were exactly the same size—42 feet long and 6 feet wide.

10They joined five of the curtains together and did the same with the other five.

10Five of these curtains were joined together to make one long curtain, and the other five were joined to make a second long curtain.

11Then they made loops of blue material along the edge of the end curtain in one set, and the same was done with the end curtain in the other set.

11He made fifty loops of blue yarn and put them along the edge of the last curtain in each set.

12They also made fifty loops on one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the other set, with the loops opposite each other.

12The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain matched the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.

13Then they made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tabernacle was a unit.

13Then he made fifty gold clasps and fastened the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle was made of one continuous piece.

14They made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle--eleven altogether.

14He made eleven curtains of goat-hair cloth to serve as a tent covering for the Tabernacle.

15All eleven curtains were the same size--thirty cubits long and four cubits wide.

15These eleven curtains were all exactly the same size—45 feet long and 6 feet wide.

16They joined five of the curtains into one set and the other six into another set.

16Bezalel joined five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and the other six were joined to make a second long curtain.

17Then they made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain in one set and also along the edge of the end curtain in the other set.

17He made fifty loops for the edge of each large curtain.

18They made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as a unit.

18He also made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the long curtains together. In this way, the tent covering was made of one continuous piece.

19Then they made for the tent a covering of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of the other durable leather.

19He completed the tent covering with a layer of tanned ram skins and a layer of fine goatskin leather.

20They made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.

20For the framework of the Tabernacle, Bezalel constructed frames of acacia wood.

21Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,

21Each frame was 15 feet high and 27 inches wide,

22with two projections set parallel to each other. They made all the frames of the tabernacle in this way.

22with two pegs under each frame. All the frames were identical.

23They made twenty frames for the south side of the tabernacle

23He made twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.

24and made forty silver bases to go under them--two bases for each frame, one under each projection.

24He also made forty silver bases—two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.

25For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames

25For the north side of the Tabernacle, he made another twenty frames,

26and forty silver bases--two under each frame.

26with their forty silver bases, two bases under each frame.

27They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,

27He made six frames for the rear—the west side of the Tabernacle—

28and two frames were made for the corners of the tabernacle at the far end.

28along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.

29At these two corners the frames were double from the bottom all the way to the top and fitted into a single ring; both were made alike.

29These corner frames were matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Both of these corner units were made the same way.

30So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases--two under each frame.

30So there were eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases—two bases under each frame.

31They also made crossbars of acacia wood: five for the frames on one side of the tabernacle,

31Then he made crossbars of acacia wood to link the frames, five crossbars for the north side of the Tabernacle

32five for those on the other side, and five for the frames on the west, at the far end of the tabernacle.

32and five for the south side. He also made five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which faced west.

33They made the center crossbar so that it extended from end to end at the middle of the frames.

33He made the middle crossbar to attach halfway up the frames; it ran all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.

34They overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. They also overlaid the crossbars with gold.

34He overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. Then he overlaid the crossbars with gold as well.

35They made the curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim woven into it by a skilled worker.

35For the inside of the Tabernacle, Bezalel made a special curtain of finely woven linen. He decorated it with blue, purple, and scarlet thread and with skillfully embroidered cherubim.

36They made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. They made gold hooks for them and cast their four silver bases.

36For the curtain, he made four posts of acacia wood and four gold hooks. He overlaid the posts with gold and set them in four silver bases.

37For the entrance to the tent they made a curtain of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen--the work of an embroiderer;

37Then he made another curtain for the entrance to the sacred tent. He made it of finely woven linen and embroidered it with exquisite designs using blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

38and they made five posts with hooks for them. They overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold and made their five bases of bronze.

38This curtain was hung on gold hooks attached to five posts. The posts with their decorated tops and hooks were overlaid with gold, and the five bases were cast from bronze.
