   1) Exodus 36, Exodus 37, Exodus 38   
      
   EXODUS 36   
      
   1 (Ex 28:3; 25:8) So Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skilled person,   
    in whom the Lord has put skill and understanding to know how to do   
   all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary, are to do the work   
    according to all that the Lord has commanded.   
   2 (Ex 31:6; 1Ch 29:5 ) Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled   
    person in whom the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart stirred him   
    to come to the work to do it.   
   3 (Ex 35:29) They received from Moses all the offerings which the children   
    of Israel had brought to do the work of the service of the sanctuary,   
    and they continued to bring to him freewill offerings every morning.   
   4 And all the skilled men who were doing all the work of the sanctuary   
    came from the work they were doing,   
   5 (2Ch 24:14; 2Co 8:2-3) and they said to Moses,   
   "The people are bringing much more than is needed   
   for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do."   
   6 So Moses issued a command, and they circulated a proclamation   
    throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman do any more work   
    for the offering of the sanctuary.- So the people were restrained   
    from bringing any more.   
   7 For the material they had was sufficient for all the work   
    and more than enough to do it.   
      
   [1] Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in whom   
   the LORD put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work   
   for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD had   
   commanded.   
   [2] And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every wise hearted man, in   
   whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him   
   up to come unto the work to do it:   
   [3] And they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of   
   Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it   
   withal. And they brought yet unto him free offerings every morning.   
   [4] And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came   
   every man from his work which they made;   
   [5] And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than   
   enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.   
   [6] And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed   
   throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work   
   for the offering of 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.   
      
   Construction of the Tabernacle   
      
   Ex 26:1-37   
      
   8 Every skilled man among those who were doing the work made   
   the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen,   
    and blue, and purple, and scarlet,   
    with cherubim that were the work of skillful workmen.   
   9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,   
    and the width of each curtain four cubits.   
   (About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.)   
    All of the curtains were the same size.   
   10 He joined the five curtains to one another,   
   and the other five curtains he joined to one to another.   
   11 He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost   
   curtain in the first set. He did likewise along the edge   
    of the outermost curtain in the second set.   
   12 (Ex 26:5) He made fifty loops in the one curtain   
   and made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain   
   which was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.   
   13 He made fifty gold clasps and joined the curtains   
   to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle was a unit.   
   14 (Ex 26:7-13) He made curtains of goats' hair for a tent   
   over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains in all.   
   15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits,   
   and the width of each curtain was four cubits.   
   (About 45 feet long and 6 feet wide, or 14 meters long and 1.8 meters wide.)   
   The eleven curtains were all the same size.   
   16 He joined five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves.   
   17 He made fifty loops on the outermost edge of the curtain in the first   
   set, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which joined   
   the second set.   
   18 He made fifty bronze clasps to join the tent together,   
   so that it would be one unit.   
   19 He made a covering for the tent out of rams' skins   
    dyed red and a covering of porpoise skins above.   
   20 (Ex 25:5) Then he made boards for the tabernacle out of acacia wood,   
    standing upright.   
   21 The length of each board was ten cubits, and the width of each board   
    was one and a half cubits.   
   (About 15 feet long and 2 1/4 feet wide, or 4.5 meters long   
   and 68 centimeters wide.)   
   22 Each board had two tenons, equally distant from each other.   
    He did this for all the boards of the tabernacle.   
   23 He made boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side.   
   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 other side of the tabernacle,   
   which is toward the north corner,   
   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 back of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.   
   28 He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the back.   
   29 They were doubled beneath and joined together at the top in one ring.   
    He did this with both of them in both the corners.   
   30 There were eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets,   
   two under every board.   
   31 (Ex 26:26-29) He made bars of acacia wood,   
   five for the boards of 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 back to the west.   
   33 He made the middle bar to pass through   
   the boards from the one end to the other.   
   34 He overlaid the boards with gold,   
   and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars,   
   and overlaid the bars with gold.   
   35 (Mt 27:51) He made a veil of blue, and purple,   
    and scarlet, and fine twined linen. He made cherubim,   
   the work of a skillful designer.   
   36 He made four pillars of acacia wood and overlaid them   
    with gold with their hooks of gold,   
   and he cast four sockets of silver for them.   
   37 He made a hanging for the tabernacle   
   entrance of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen,   
    the work of an embroiderer.   
   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.   
      
   [8] And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the   
   tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and   
   scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.   
   [9] The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth
