10750. Exodus 36
1. And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every man wise at heart, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of the service of the holy place, did according to all that Jehovah had commanded.
2. And Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab and every man wise at heart in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him to come and do the work 1
.
3. And they took from before Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the holy place 2
; and they continued to bring him freewill offerings every morning 3
.
4. And all the wise ones doing all the work of the holy place came 4
, man [by] man from his work which they were doing.
5. And they spoke to Moses, saying, The people are bringing more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah has commanded to be done.
6. And Moses gave a command, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp 5
, saying, Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering of the holy place. And he restrained the people from bringing [any more].
7. And the work was sufficient for all the work that had to be done 6
, and there was some left over.
8. And everyone wise at heart among those doing the work made the dwelling-place with ten curtains, from fine twined linen, and violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet; and the cherubs, the work of a designer he made them.
9. The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10. And he joined five curtains together, one to another; and five curtains he joined together, one to another.
11. And he made loops from violet on the edge of the one curtain that was in the joining-place, and did the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second joining-place.
12. Fifty loops he made in one curtain, and fifty loops he made in the end of the curtain in the second joining-place, the loops taking themselves up one towards one another.
13. And he made fifty clasps of gold, and joined the curtains together, one to the next in the clasps; and the dwelling-place was one.
14. And he made curtains of she-goats 7
, for a tent over the dwelling-place; eleven curtains he made them.
15. The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.
16. And he joined together five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17. And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the joining-place, and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain in the second joining-place.
18. And he made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent together, that it might be one.
19. And he made a covering for the tent from the skins of red rams, and a covering from the skins of badgers above that.
20. And he made the boards for the dwelling-place from shittim wood, standing up 8
.
21. Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of one board.
22. There were two hands 9
to one board, connected one to the other. Thus he made all the boards of the dwelling-place.
23. And he made the boards for the dwelling-place, twenty boards for the south side 10
, southwards.
24. And he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board for its two hands 9
, and two bases under one board 11
for its two hands 9
.
25. And for the other side of the dwelling-place - on the north side 12
- he made twenty boards,
26. And their forty bases [made] from silver, two bases under one board and two bases under one board 11
.
27. And for the legs 13
of the dwelling-place towards the sea 14
he made six boards.
28. And he made two boards for the corners of the dwelling-place at the legs 15
.
29. And they were paired from below, and went together all the way up to its head, up to one ring. Thus he did for the two at the two corners.
30. And there were eight boards and their bases [made] from silver, sixteen bases - two bases [each], two bases under one board.
31. And he made bars from shittim wood, five for the boards of the first side of the dwelling-place,
32. And five bars for the boards of the second side of the dwelling-place, and five bars for the boards of the dwelling-place for the legs towards the sea 14
.
33. And he made the middle bar to pass through into the middle of the boards from end to end.
34. And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings from gold, receptacles for the bars; and he overlaid the bars with gold.
35. And he made a veil from violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twined linen; with the work of a designer he made it, with cherubs.
36. And he made for it four pillars of shittim [wood], and overlaid them with gold; [he made] their hooks from gold, and he cast four bases of silver for them.
37. And he made a screen for the tent door from violet, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer,
38. And its five pillars, and their hooks. And he overlaid their heads and their bands with gold; and their five bases [were made] from bronze.
CONTENTS
What all these things mean in the internal sense is clear from the explanation previously of Chapter Exodus 26, for they are the same things as occur there. That being so, they are passed over in the present chapter without any further explanation.
