The Tabernacle Underwritten
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.
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.
“The LORD has gifted Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled craftsmen with wisdom and ability to perform any task involved in building the sanctuary. Let them construct and furnish the Tabernacle, just as the LORD has commanded.”
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:
So Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the others who were specially gifted by the LORD and were eager to get to work.
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.
Moses gave them the materials donated by the people of Israel as sacred offerings for the completion of the sanctuary. But the people continued to bring additional gifts each morning.
And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;
Finally the craftsmen who were working on the sanctuary left their work.
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.
They went to Moses and reported, “The people have given more than enough materials to complete the job the LORD has commanded us to do!”
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.
So Moses gave the command, and this message was sent throughout the camp: “Men and women, don’t prepare any more gifts for the sanctuary. We have enough!” So the people stopped bringing their sacred offerings.
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
Their contributions were more than enough to complete the whole project.

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.
And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.
Five of these curtains were joined together to make one long curtain, and the other five were joined to make a second long curtain.
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.
He made fifty loops of blue yarn and put them along the edge of the last curtain in each set.
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.
The fifty loops along the edge of one curtain matched the fifty loops along the edge of the other curtain.
And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.
Then he made fifty gold clasps and fastened the long curtains together with the clasps. In this way, the Tabernacle was made of one continuous piece.
The Curtains of Goats' Hair
And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.

And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
Bezalel joined five of these curtains together to make one long curtain, and the other six were joined to make a second long curtain.
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.
He made fifty loops for the edge of each large curtain.
And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.

For the framework of the Tabernacle, Bezalel constructed frames of acacia wood.
The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.

with two pegs under each frame. All the frames were identical.
And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:
He made twenty of these frames to support the curtains on the south side of the Tabernacle.
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.
He also made forty silver bases — two bases under each frame, with the pegs fitting securely into the bases.
And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,

along with two additional frames to reinforce the rear corners of the Tabernacle.
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.
These corner frames were matched at the bottom and firmly attached at the top with a single ring, forming a single corner unit. Both of these corner units were made the same way.
And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.
So there were eight frames at the rear of the Tabernacle, set in sixteen silver bases — two bases under each frame.

and five for the south side. He also made five crossbars for the rear of the Tabernacle, which faced west.
And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.
He made the middle crossbar to attach halfway up the frames; it ran all the way from one end of the Tabernacle to the other.
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.
He overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars. Then he overlaid the crossbars with gold as well.

This curtain was hung on gold hooks attached to five posts. The posts with their decorated tops and hooks were overlaid with gold, and the five bases were cast from bronze.
