3) LORD. And every man, with whom was found blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen, and goats' hair, and rams' skins dyed red, and 24 sealskins', brought them. Every one that did offer an offering of silver and brass brought the LORD's offering: and every man, with whom was found lacacia wood for any work of the ser25 vice, brought it. And all the women

that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, 'the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine 26 linen. And all the women whose

heart stirred them up in wisdom spun 27 the goats' hair. And the rulers brought the 1onyx stones, and 'the' stones to be set, for the ephod, and 28 for the breastplate; and 'the' spice, and 'the oil; for the light, and for the anointing oil, and for the sweet 29 incense. The children of Israel brought a free will offering unto the LORD; every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all the work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

2And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name 'Bezalel' the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31 and he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner 32 of workmanship; and to devise 'cunning works, to work in gold, and in (33 silver, and in brass, and in cutting of

stones for setting', and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of cun34 ning workmanship!. And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab', the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship', of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any Iworkmanship, and of those that de361 vise cunning works. And Bezalel' and Oholiab shall work', and every wise hearted man, in whom the LORD hath' put wisdom and understanding

2

to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD hath commanded.

And Moses called 'Bezalel' and Oholiab', 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 3 work to do it: 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 'freewill offerings every 4 morning. And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which 5 they wrought; and they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD com6 manded to make. 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 7 restrained from bringing. For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much. (8) 4 And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with 'cherubim the work of the cunning workman' made he 9) them. The length of leach' curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of leach' curtain four cubits: all the curtains had one measure'. (10 °And he coupled five curtains one 'to'

another and the other five curtains (11) he coupled one to another. And he made loops of blue 'upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the ledge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling. (12 °Fifty loops made he in 'the' one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling: the loops were op13) posite! one to another. And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the Iclasps so 'the' tabernacle 'was one.

14 And he made curtains of goats' hair for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven (15 curtains he made them. The length of leach' curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain: the eleven curtains had one 16 measure. And he coupled five cur

tains by themselves, and six curtains 17 by themselves. And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the 1coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the 18 second coupling. And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one. (19 And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins' above.

And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing 21) up. Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the 22 breadth of each board. Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the 23 boards of the tabernacle. And he made the boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side south24) ward: and he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another 25 board for its two tenons. And for

the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side", he made twenty 26 boards, and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board. 27 And for the 'hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards. 28 And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder 29 part. And they were double beneath, and 'in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof "unto "one ring: thus he did to both of them (30) in the two corners. And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every 31 board two sockets. And he made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the taber32 nacle, 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 °And he made the middle bar to 'pass!

through in the midst of the boards 34 from the one end to the other. And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

35) And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen with cherubim the work of the cunning workman' made he it. 36 And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver. 37 And he made a 'screen for the door lof the Tent', of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the 38 work of the embroiderer'; and the

wings on high, 'covering! the mercyseat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercyIseat were the faces of the 'cherubim'. 10 1And he made the table of acacia! wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the 11 height thereof: and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereto a 12 crown of gold round about. And1 he made unto it a border of lan handbreadth round about, and made a golden crown to the border 13 thereof round about. And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were 14 on the four feet thereof. I Close by the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the 15 table. And he made the staves of lacacia wood, and overlaid them with *16 gold, to bear the table. And he made the vessels which were upon the table, the dishes 'thereof1, and Ithe spoons thereof', and 'the bowls Ithereof, and the flagons thereof1, to "pour out withal, of pure gold. 17) 2And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick, even its base', and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and lits flowers, were of lone piece with 18 it and there were six branches

going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other 19 side thereof: three cups' made 'like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three 'cups' made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so for the six branches going out 20 of the candlestick. And in the candlestick were four cups made like Jalmond-blossoms, the knops 'there21 of, and the flowers thereof: and a knop under two branches of lone piece with it, and a knop under two branches of lone piece with it', and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches 22 going out of it.

(25) And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, foursquare; and two cubits was the height thereof; the horns thereof were of 'one piece (26 with it. And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: and he made unto it a (27) crown of gold round about.
