1 Then wrought Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whom Jehovah had put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all manner of work of the service of the sanctuary-according to all that Jehovah had commanded.
2 And Moses called Bezaleel and Aholiab, and every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart God had put wisdom, every one whose heart moved him to come to the work to do it.
3 And they took from Moses every heave-offering that the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it. And they still brought him voluntary offerings morning by morning.
4 And all the wise men that wrought all the work of the sanctuary came, every man from his work which they wrought,
5 and spoke to Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work that Jehovah commanded to be done.
6 Then Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed through the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the heave-offering of the sanctuary! So the people were restrained from bringing;
7 for the work they had was sufficient for all the work to do it, and it was too much.
8 And every wise-hearted man among those that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: {with} cherubim of artistic work did he make them.
9 The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits-one measure for all the curtains.
10 And he coupled five of the curtains one to another, and {the other} five curtains coupled he one to another.
11 And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain at the edge of the coupling; he did likewise in the edge of the outermost curtain in the other coupling.
12 He made fifty loops in one curtain, and he made fifty loops at the end of the curtain that was in the other coupling: the loops were opposite to one another.
13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains together with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one.
14 And he made curtains of goats' {hair} for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains did he make them.
15 The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of one curtain-one measure for the eleven curtains.
16 And he coupled five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain in the other coupling.
18 And he made fifty clasps of copper to couple the tent, that it might be one.
19 And he made a covering for the tent {of} rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above {that}.
20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia-wood, standing up;
21 ten cubits the length of the boards, and one cubit and a half the breadth of one board;
22 two tenons in one board, connected one with the other: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;
24 and he made forty bases of silver under the twenty boards, two bases under one board, for its two tenons, and two bases under another board for its two tenons.
25 And for the other side of the tabernacle, on the side toward the north, he made twenty boards,
26 and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one board, and two bases under another board.
27 And at the rear of the tabernacle, westward, he made six boards;
28 and he made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle at the rear;
29 and they were joined beneath, and were coupled together at the top thereof into one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners;
30 and there were eight boards, and their silver bases: sixteen bases, under every board two bases.
31 -And 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 at the rear, westward.
33 And he made the middle bar in the midst of the boards reach from one end to the other.
34 And he overlaid the boards with gold; and made their rings of gold {as} receptacles for the bars; and overlaid the bars with gold.
35 And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus: of artistic work he made it {with} cherubim.
36 And he made four pillars of acacia{-wood} for it, and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four bases of silver.
37 And he made a curtain for the entrance of the tent of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, of embroidery;
38 and its five pillars with their hooks; and he overlaid their capitals and their connecting-rods with gold; and their five bases were of copper.
1 Beseleel, Ooliab e todos os homens prudentes que o Senhor dotou de inteligência e habilidade, para saberem executar todos os trabalhos necessários ao serviço do santuário, conformaram-se inteiramente às instruções recebidas do Senhor.
2 Moisés chamou Beseleel, Ooliab e todos os homens prudentes que o Senhor tinha dotado de inteligência, todos os que eram impelidos pelo seu coração a empreender a execução desse trabalho.
3 Levaram todas as ofertas que os israelitas haviam trazido a Moisés para a execução dos trabalhos necessários ao serviço do santuário. E, como o povo continuasse, cada manhã, a trazer espontaneamente ofertas,
4 os homens prudentes que executavam os trabalhos do santuário deixaram cada um a obra que estava fazendo, e vieram dizer a Moisés:
5 "O povo traz muito mais do que é necessário para a execução do trabalho que o Senhor ordenou".
6 Então, por ordem de Moisés, fez-se no acampamento esta proclamação: "Que ninguém, nem homem nem mulher, traga mais ofertas para o santuário". Assim, o povo foi proibido de trazer mais.
7 O material trazido era mais que suficiente para tudo o que havia a fazer.
8 Os mais hábeis entre os operários construíram o tabernáculo: dez cortinas de linho fino retorcido, púrpura violeta e escarlate, e carmesim com querubins artisticamente bordados.
9 O comprimento de cada cortina era de vinte e oito côvados, sua largura de quatro côvados; e tinham todas as mesmas dimensões.
10 Juntaram as cortinas cinco por cinco.
11 Laços de púrpura violeta foram colocados na orla da cortina que rematava esses dois grupos.
12 Foram postos cinqüenta laços na primeira cortina, e cinqüenta na extremidade da última cortina do segundo grupo, situadas bem em face umas das outras.
13 As cortinas foram presas urnas às outras por meio de cinqüenta colchetes de ouro, de modo que o tabernáculo formou um todo.
14 Fizeram-se, em seguida, cortinas de peles de cabra, para formar uma tenda sobre o tabernáculo; foram feitas onze dessas cortinas.
15 O comprimento de uma delas era de trinta côvados, e sua largura de quarenta côvados; e tinham todas as mesmas dimensões.
16 Cinco dessas cortinas foram juntadas de um lado, e seis de outro.
17 Cinqüenta colchetes foram colocados na orla da última cortina de um desses grupos e cinqüenta na orla da última cortina do segundo.
18 Depois fizeram cinqüenta colchetes de bronze para unir as peças, de modo que a tenda formasse um só todo.
19 Foi feita a cobertura da tenda de peles de carneiros tintas de vermelho, sobre as quais se meteu uma cobertura de peles de golfinhos.
20 As tábuas do tabernáculo foram feitas de madeira de acácia, colocadas verticalmente.
21 As tábuas tinham dez côvados de comprimento e um côvado e meio de largura.
22 Cada tábua tinha dois encaixes ligados um ao outro: assim se fez com todas as tábuas do tabernáculo.
23 Fizeram para o lado meridional do tabernáculo, ao sul, vinte tábuas.
24 Meteram sob essas vinte tábuas quarenta suportes de prata, dois sob cada tábua, para seus dois encaixes.
25 Para o segundo lado do tabernáculo, ao norte, fizeram vinte tábuas,
26 com quarenta suportes de prata, à razão de dois por tábua.
27 Para o fundo do tabernáculo, ao ocidente, fizeram seis tábuas.
28 Para os ângulos do tabernáculo, ao fundo, fizeram duas tábuas.
29 Elas eram emparelhadas desde a base, formando juntas um só todo até o alto, na primeira argola. O mesmo se fez com as duas tábuas colocadas nos ângulos.
30 Havia, pois, oito tábuas com seus suportes de prata, em número de dezesseis, dois sob cada tábua.
31 Fizeram em seguida cinco travessas de madeira de acácia para as tábuas de um dos lados do tabernáculo,
32 cinco para as tábuas do segundo lado e cinco para as que estavam do lado posterior do tabernáculo, ao ocidente.
33 A travessa central estendia-se ao longo das tábuas, de uma extremidade à outra.
34 Recobriram de ouro essas tábuas e se lhes puseram argolas de ouro, pelas quais passaram as travessas, recobertas também elas de ouro.
35 Foi feito o véu de púrpura violeta e escarlate, de carmesim e linho retorcido, onde foram bordados artisticamente alguns querubins.
36 Fizeram para ele quatro colunas de madeira de acácia revestidas de ouro, com pregos de ouro, e fundiram para elas quatro pedestais de prata.
37 Para a entrada da tenda foi feito o véu de púrpura violeta e escarlate, de carmesim e linho retorcido, artisticamente bordado.
38 Fizeram, para suspender esse véu, cinco colunas munidas de ganchos; recobriram de ouro seus capitéis e suas vergas; seus cinco pedestais foram feitos de bronze.
