Exodus Chapter 36 the
curtains made and the frames made, the curtain made.
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.
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 of one curtain four
cubits: the curtains were all of one size.
10 And he coupled the
five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto
another.
11 And he made loops
of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise
he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the
second.
12 Fifty loops made he
in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in
the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.
13 And he made fifty
taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so
it became one tabernacle.
14 And he made
curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: 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 were of one size.
16 And he coupled five
curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17 And he made fifty
loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops
made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.
18 And he made fifty
taches 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 badgers' skins
above that.
20 And he made boards
for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.
21 The length of a
board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.
22 One board had two
tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards
of the tabernacle.
23 And he made boards
for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
24 And forty sockets
of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his
two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.
25 And 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 And for the sides
of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28 And two boards made
he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.
29 And they were
coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he
did to both of them in both the corners.
30 And there were
eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every
board two sockets.
31 And he made bars of
shittim 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 sides westward.
33 And he made the
middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
34 And 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 And he made a vail
of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he
it of cunning work.
36 And he made
thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their
hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
37 And he made an
hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen, of needlework;
38 And the five
pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their
fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
Chapter 37 The ark made,
the table made, the lampstand made, the altar of incense made.
Though Moses had the Ark
made, Bezalel did the actual work.
2 And he overlaid it
with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.
3 And he cast for it
four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon
the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.
4 And he made staves
of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
5 And he put the
staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.
6 And he made the
mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one
cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
7 And he made two
cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the
mercy seat;
8 One cherub on the
end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the
mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.
9 And the cherubims
spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy
seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the
faces of the cherubims.
10 And he made the
table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the
breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:
11 And he overlaid it
with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.
12 Also he made
thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for
the border thereof round about.
13 And he cast for it
four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the
four feet thereof.
14 Over against the
border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.
15 And he made the
staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.
16 And he made the
vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls,
and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.
17 And he made the
candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft,
and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:
18 And 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 side
thereof:
19 Three bowls made
after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three
bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout
the six branches going out of the candlestick.
20 And in the
candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:
21 And a knop under
two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop
under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.
22 Their knops and
their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.
23 And he made his
seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.
24 Of a talent of pure
gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.
25 And he made the
incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of
it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns
thereof were of the same.
26 And he overlaid it
with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the
horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.
27 And he made two
rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon
the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.
28 And he made the
staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 And he made the
holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work
of the apothecary.
Chapter 38 The bronze altar made, the basin made, the courtyard made, the materials used.
What these women who
served did is not stated. Perhaps they served by singing or by cleaning the
temporary tent. There was possibly twenty –eight thousand pounds of gold. This
amounted to perhaps ninety-six thousand pounds of silver. Possible some
sixty-seven thousand pounds of bronze. Though we do not know the value of these
metals in those days, the expenditure was enormous and demonstrated the
people’s dedication to God.
2 And he made the
horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same:
and he overlaid it with brass.
3 And he made all the
vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the
fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4 And he made for the
altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the
midst of it.
5 And he cast four
rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6 And he made the
staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 And he put the
staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the
altar hollow with boards.
8 And he made the
laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women
assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9 And he made the
court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine
twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10 Their pillars were
twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their
fillets were of silver.
11 And for the north
side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their
sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the west
side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten;
the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13 And for the east
side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the
one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their
sockets three.
15 And for the other
side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen
cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 All the hangings of
the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 And the sockets for
the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of
silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of
the court were filleted with silver.
18 And the hanging for
the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and
fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the
breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars
were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the
overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
20 And all the pins of
the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 This is the sum of
the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted,
according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the
hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
22 And Bezaleel the
son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD
commanded Moses.
23 And with him was
Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning
workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine
linen.
24 All the gold that
was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of
the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 And the silver of
them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a
thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of
the sanctuary:
26 A bekah for every
man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one
that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred
thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
27 And of the hundred
talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of
the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 And of the thousand
seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and
overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the brass of
the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30 And therewith he
made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the
brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
31 And the sockets of
the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the
tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
The robe had a hole in the
neck like a coat of mail. Moses inspected the work and , seeing that it had
been done as God had commanded.
2 And he made the
ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they did beat
the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and
in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
4 They made
shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled
together.
5 And the curious
girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work
thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
6 And they wrought onyx
stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the
names of the children of Israel.
7 And he put them on
the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the
children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8 And he made the
breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was foursquare;
they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the
breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And they set in it
four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle:
this was the first row.
11 And the second row,
an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 And the third row,
a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth row,
a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their
inclosings.
14 And the stones were
according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their
names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to
the twelve tribes.
15 And they made upon
the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 And they made two
ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of
the breastplate.
17 And they put the
two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18 And the two ends of
the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the
shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
19 And they made two
rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border
of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
20 And they made two
other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath,
toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the
curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And they did bind
the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue,
that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the
breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he made the
robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was an
hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round
about the hole, that it should not rend.
24 And they made upon
the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined
linen.
25 And they made bells
of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the
robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell and a
pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to
minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 And they made coats
of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28 And a mitre of fine
linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined
linen,
29 And a girdle of
fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
30 And they made the
plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the
engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied unto
it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
32 Thus was all the
work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the
children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did
they.
33 And they brought
the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his
boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
34 And the covering of
rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the
covering,
35 The ark of the
testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36 The table, and all
the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37 The pure
candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order,
and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
38 And the golden
altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the
tabernacle door,
39 The brasen altar,
and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his
foot,
40 The hangings of the
court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his
cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for
the tent of the congregation,
41 The cloths of
service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the
priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
42 According to all
that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43 And Moses did look
upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded,
even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
The tabernacle was set up
one year after the Exodus from Egypt and mine months after Israel’s arrival at
Sinai. The cloud of God’s glory and presence showed His approval of the
completed Tabernacle and led that people by day and by night through the
desert.
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 On the first day of the first
month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.
3 And thou shalt put therein the ark
of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.
4 And thou shalt bring in the table,
and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt
bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.
5 And thou shalt set the altar of
gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of
the door to the tabernacle.
6 And thou shalt set the altar of
the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation.
7 And thou shalt set the laver
between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water
therein.
8 And thou shalt set up the court
round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.
9 And thou shalt take the anointing
oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it,
and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.
10 And thou shalt anoint the altar
of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it
shall be an altar most holy.
11 And thou shalt anoint the laver
and his foot, and sanctify it.
12 And thou shalt bring Aaron and
his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them
with water.
13 And thou shalt put upon Aaron the
holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me
in the priest's office.
14 And thou shalt bring his sons,
and clothe them with coats:
15 And thou shalt anoint them, as
thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's
office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood
throughout their generations.
16 Thus did Moses: according to all
that the LORD commanded him, so did he.
17 And it came to pass in the first
month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle
was reared up.
18 And Moses reared up the
tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in
the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.
19 And he spread abroad the tent
over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
20 And he took and put the testimony
into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon
the ark:
21 And he brought the ark into the
tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the
testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he put the table in the tent
of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the
vail.
23 And he set the bread in order
upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
24 And he put the candlestick in the
tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle
southward.
25 And he lighted the lamps before
the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 And he put the golden altar in
the tent of the congregation before the vail:
27 And he burnt sweet incense
thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 And he set up the hanging at the
door of the tabernacle.
29 And he put the altar of burnt
offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and
offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
30 And he set the laver between the
tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.
31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons
washed their hands and their feet thereat:
32 When they went into the tent of
the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the
LORD commanded Moses.
33 And he reared up the court round
about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate.
So Moses finished the work.
34 Then a cloud covered the tent of
the congregation, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 And Moses was not able to enter
into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the
glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 And when the cloud was taken up
from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward in all their
journeys:
37 But if the cloud were not taken
up, then they journeyed not till the day that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the LORD was
upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all
the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
