1 "Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do 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 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 kept bringing free will offerings to him every morning. 4 All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which he did. 5 They spoke to Moses, saying, "The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which Yahweh commanded to make."

6 Moses gave a 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 to do all the work, 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. They made them with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman. 9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width 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 to one 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 outermost 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 to one another. 13 He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one 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 width 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 outermost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second coupling. 18 He made fifty clasps of bronze 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 width of each board. 22 Each board had two tenons, joined to one 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 this 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 middle of the boards from the one end to the other. 34 He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as 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 bronze.

1 比撒列和亚何利亚伯， 以及心里有智慧的， 就是蒙耶和华赐与智慧与聪明， 使他们知道怎样制造供圣所使用的一切工程的人， 都照着耶和华吩咐的一切去作。

2 于是， 摩西把比撒列和亚何利亚伯， 以及心里有智慧的， 就是蒙耶和华赐他们心里有智慧的人， 凡是心里受感要前来作这工的人， 都召了来。

3 他们当着摩西面前， 接收了以色列人为供圣所使用的工程带来的一切礼物。他们天天早晨还把自愿奉献的礼物带到摩西那里来。

4 凡是作圣所一切工的智慧人， 各人都放下自己所作的工， 来了。

5 他们告诉摩西： "人民带来的太多， 超过耶和华吩咐所作工程使用的需要。"

6 于是摩西下令， 他们就在营中宣告， 说： "无论男女都不必再为圣所的工程奉献什么礼物。"这样， 人民才被拦阻， 不送什么礼物来。

7 因为所有的材料够作一切工程， 而且有余。

8 在作这工程的人中， 凡是心里有智慧的， 用十幅幔子作帐幕； 这些幔子是用捻的细麻、蓝色紫色朱红色线做的， 并且用设计的巧工绣上基路伯。

9 每一幅幔子长十二公尺， 每一幅幔子宽两公尺， 所有的幔子都是一样的尺寸。

10 他把五幅幔子一一相连； 也使另外五幅幔子一一相连。

11 在第一组相连的幔子末幅的边缘上， 他做蓝色的钮扣； 在另一组相连的幔子末幅的边缘上， 他也照样作。

12 在这一幅幔子上， 他做了五十个钮扣； 在第二幅相连的幔子的边缘上， 他也做了五十个钮扣， 这些钮扣都彼此相对。

13 又做了五十个金钩， 用钩子使幔子彼此相连。这样就成了一个帐幕。

14 他又用山羊毛做了幔子， 作为帐幕上的罩棚， 共做了十一幅幔子。

15 每一幅幔子长十三公尺， 宽两公尺， 十一幅幔子都是一样的尺寸。

16 他把五幅幔子相连在一起， 又把另外六幅幔子相连在一起。

17 在第一组相连的幔子末幅的边缘上， 做了五十个钮扣； 在第二组相连的幔子末幅的边缘上， 也做了五十个钮扣。

18 又做了五十个铜钩， 使罩棚相连， 可以成为一个。

19 用染红的公羊皮做了罩棚的盖， 又用海狗皮做盖， 放在罩棚的盖上面。

20 他替帐幕用皂荚木做了竖板。

21 每块板长四公尺， 宽六十六公分。

22 每块板有两个榫头， 彼此相连接； 帐幕一切木板， 他都这样做。

23 他为帐幕做板， 给南边， 就是向南的方向做了二十块板。

24 在这二十块板底下， 做了四十个银座； 这块板底下的两个银座用来连接板的两个榫头， 那块板底下的两个银座用来连接它的两个榫头。

25 他为帐幕的第二边， 就是北面， 也做了二十块板，

26 和四十个银座； 这一块板底下有两个银座， 那一块板底下也有两个银座。

27 帐幕的后面， 就是西面， 做了六块板。

28 他替帐幕后面两个角上做了两块板。

29 板的下截是双的， 直到上面的第一个环才接合完整； 他把两块板都这样做了， 形成两个角。

30 所以共有八块板， 十六个银座。每一块板底下都有两个银座。

31 他又用皂荚木做了横闩， 替帐幕这一边的板做了五个横闩，

32 替帐幕第二边的板也做了五个横闩， 替帐幕后面， 就是西面的板也做了五个横闩，

33 他又做了中间的横闩， 穿过板腰， 从这一端穿到那一端。

34 他用金子把板包裹， 也做了板上的金环， 用作穿横闩的地方， 并且也用金子把横闩包裹。

35 他用蓝色紫色朱红色线和捻的细麻做了一幅幔幕， 用巧设的图案手工绣上基路伯。

36 他替幔幕做了四根皂荚木柱子， 用金子包裹， 柱钉是金的， 又替柱子铸造四个银座。

37 又用蓝色紫色朱红色线和捻的细麻， 用绣花的手工做成帐幕的门帘；

38 又为门帘做了五根柱子和柱子上的钉子， 用金子把柱顶和横杆包裹。但那五个座是铜的。
