1 Assim, trabalharam Bezalel, e Aoliabe, e todo homem hábil a quem o Senhor dera habilidade e inteligência para saberem fazer toda obra para o serviço do santuário, segundo tudo o que o Senhor havia ordenado.

2 Moisés chamou a Bezalel, e a Aoliabe, e a todo homem hábil em cujo coração o Senhor tinha posto sabedoria, isto é, a todo homem cujo coração o impeliu a se chegar à obra para fazê-la. 3 Estes receberam de Moisés todas as ofertas que os filhos de Israel haviam trazido para a obra do serviço do santuário, para fazê-la; e, ainda, cada manhã o povo trazia a Moisés ofertas voluntárias. 4 Então, deixando cada um a obra que fazia, vieram todos os homens sábios que se ocupavam em toda a obra do santuário 5 e disseram a Moisés: O povo traz muito mais do que é necessário para o serviço da obra que o Senhor ordenou se fizesse. 6 Então, ordenou Moisés — e a ordem foi proclamada no arraial, dizendo: Nenhum homem ou mulher faça mais obra alguma para a oferta do santuário. Assim, o povo foi proibido de trazer mais. 7 Porque o material que tinham era suficiente para toda a obra que se devia fazer e ainda sobejava.

8 Assim, todos os homens hábeis, entre os que faziam a obra, fizeram o tabernáculo com dez cortinas de linho fino retorcido, estofo azul, púrpura e carmesim com querubins; de obra de artista as fizeram. 9 O comprimento de cada cortina era de vinte e oito côvados, e a largura, de quatro côvados; todas as cortinas eram de igual medida.

10 Cinco cortinas eram ligadas uma à outra; e as outras cinco também ligadas uma à outra. 11 Fizeram laçadas de estofo azul na orla da cortina, que estava na extremidade do primeiro agrupamento; e de igual modo fizeram na orla da cortina, que estava na extremidade do segundo agrupamento. 12 Cinquenta laçadas fizeram numa cortina, e cinquenta, na outra cortina na extremidade do segundo agrupamento; as laçadas eram contrapostas uma à outra. 13 Fizeram cinquenta colchetes de ouro, com os quais prenderam as cortinas uma à outra; e o tabernáculo passou a ser um todo.

14 Fizeram também de pelos de cabra cortinas para servirem de tenda sobre o tabernáculo; fizeram onze cortinas. 15 O comprimento de cada cortina era de trinta côvados, e a largura, de quatro côvados; as onze cortinas eram de igual medida. 16 Ajuntaram à parte cinco cortinas entre si e, de igual modo, as seis restantes. 17 E fizeram cinquenta laçadas na orla da cortina, que estava na extremidade do primeiro agrupamento. 18 Fizeram também cinquenta colchetes de bronze para ajuntar a tenda, para que viesse a ser um todo. 19 Fizeram também de peles de carneiro tintas de vermelho uma coberta para a tenda e outra coberta de peles finas.

20 Fizeram também de madeira de acácia as tábuas para o tabernáculo, as quais eram colocadas verticalmente. 21 Cada uma das tábuas tinha dez côvados de comprimento e côvado e meio de largura. 22 Cada tábua tinha dois encaixes, travados um com o outro; assim fizeram com todas as tábuas do tabernáculo. 23 No preparar as tábuas para o tabernáculo, fizeram vinte delas para o lado sul. 24 Fizeram também quarenta bases de prata debaixo das vinte tábuas: duas bases debaixo de uma tábua para os seus dois encaixes e duas bases debaixo de outra tábua para os seus dois encaixes. 25 Também fizeram vinte tábuas ao outro lado do tabernáculo, para o lado norte, 26 com as suas quarenta bases de prata: duas bases debaixo de uma tábua e duas bases debaixo de outra tábua; 27 ao lado do tabernáculo para o ocidente, fizeram seis tábuas. 28 Fizeram também duas tábuas para os cantos do tabernáculo de ambos os lados, 29 as quais, por baixo, estavam separadas, mas, em cima, se ajustavam à primeira argola; assim se fez com as duas tábuas nos dois cantos. 30 Assim eram as oito tábuas com as suas bases de prata, dezesseis bases: duas bases debaixo de uma tábua e duas debaixo de outra tábua.

31 Fizeram também travessas de madeira de acácia; cinco para as tábuas de um lado do tabernáculo, 32 cinco para as tábuas do outro lado do tabernáculo e cinco para as tábuas do tabernáculo, ao lado posterior, que olha para o ocidente. 33 A travessa do meio passava ao meio das tábuas, de uma extremidade à outra. 34 Cobriram de ouro as tábuas e de ouro fizeram as suas argolas, pelas quais passavam as travessas; e cobriram também de ouro as travessas.

35 Fizeram também o véu de estofo azul, púrpura, carmesim e linho fino retorcido; com querubins o fizeram de obra de artista. 36 E fizeram-lhe quatro colunas de madeira de acácia, cobertas de ouro; os seus colchetes eram de ouro, sobre quatro bases de prata. 37 Fizeram também para a porta da tenda um reposteiro de estofo azul, púrpura, carmesim e linho fino retorcido, obra de bordador, 38 e as suas cinco colunas, e os seus colchetes; as suas cabeças e as suas molduras cobriram de ouro, mas as suas cinco bases eram de bronze.

1 Then worked 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 to 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 with. And they brought yet to him free offerings every morning.

4 And all the wise men, that worked all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they made;

5 And they spoke to 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 worked the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubim 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 to another: and the other five curtains he coupled one to 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 clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: 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 on the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he on the edge of the curtain which couples the second.

18 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 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 veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim 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 capitals and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.
