¹ "Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Yahweh has commanded."

² Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:

³ and 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 brought yet to him freewill offerings every morning.

⁴ All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which they did.

⁵ They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."

⁶ Moses gave 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 for all the work to make it, and too much.

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, with cherubim, the work of the skillful workman, they made them.

⁹ The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth 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 one to 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 outmost 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 one to another.

¹³ He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.

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 breadth 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 outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.

¹⁸ He made fifty clasps of brass 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.

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 breadth of each board.

²² Each board had two tenons, joined one to 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 thus 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 midst of the boards from the one end to the other.

³⁴ He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

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.

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 brass.

¹ After these things, I saw another angel coming down out of the sky, having great authority. The earth was illuminated with his glory.

² He cried with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and she has become a habitation of demons, a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird!

³ For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality, the kings of the earth committed sexual immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from the abundance of her luxury."

⁴ I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, that you have no participation in her sins, and that you don't receive of her plagues,

⁵ for her sins have reached to the sky, and God has remembered her iniquities.

⁶ Return to her just as she returned, and repay her double as she did, and according to her works. In the cup which she mixed, mix to her double.

⁷ However much she glorified herself, and grew wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning. For she says in her heart, 'I sit a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see mourning.'

⁸ Therefore in one day her plagues will come: death, mourning, and famine; and she will be utterly burned with fire; for the Lord God who has judged her is strong.

⁹ The kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived wantonly with her, will weep and wail over her, when they look at the smoke of her burning,

¹⁰ standing far away for the fear of her torment, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For your judgment has come in one hour.'

¹¹ The merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more;

¹² merchandise of gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, fine linen, purple, silk, scarlet, all expensive wood, every vessel of ivory, every vessel made of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble;

¹³ and cinnamon, incense, perfume, frankincense, wine, olive oil, fine flour, wheat, sheep, horses, chariots, and people's bodies and souls.

¹⁴ The fruits which your soul lusted after have been lost to you, and all things that were dainty and sumptuous have perished from you, and you will find them no more at all.

¹⁵ The merchants of these things, who were made rich by her, will stand far away for the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning;

¹⁶ saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, she who was dressed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls!

¹⁷ For in an hour such great riches are made desolate.' Every shipmaster, and everyone who sails anywhere, and mariners, and as many as gain their living by sea, stood far away,

¹⁸ and cried out as they looked at the smoke of her burning, saying, 'What is like the great city?'

¹⁹ They cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and mourning, saying, 'Woe, Woe, the great city, in which all who had their ships in the sea were made rich by reason of her great wealth!' For in one hour is she made desolate.

²⁰ "Rejoice over her, O heaven, you saints, apostles, and prophets; for God has judged your judgment on her."

²¹ A mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, saying, "Thus with violence will Babylon, the great city, be thrown down, and will be found no more at all.

²² The voice of harpists, minstrels, flute players, and trumpeters will be heard no more at all in you. No craftsman, of whatever craft, will be found any more at all in you. The sound of a mill will be heard no more at all in you.

²³ The light of a lamp will shine no more at all in you. The voice of the bridegroom and of the bride will be heard no more at all in you; for your merchants were the princes of the earth; for with your sorcery all the nations were deceived.

²⁴ In her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slain on the earth."
