1 So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.
2 Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work:
3 And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.
4 Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;
5 And said to Moses, The people are giving much more than is needed for the work which the Lord has given us orders to do.
6 So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.
7 For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.
8 Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.
9 Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.
10 And five curtains were joined together, and the other five curtains were joined together.
11 And they put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and in the same way on the outside curtain of the second group.
12 Fifty twists on the one curtain and fifty on the edge of the curtain of the other group; the twists being opposite to one another.
13 And they made fifty hooks of gold, joining the curtains one to another with the hooks; and so the House was made.
14 And they made curtains of goats' hair for the tent; eleven curtains were made.
15 Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.
16 Five curtains were joined together to make one group, and six curtains were joined together to make the other group.
17 And they put fifty twists of cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and fifty twists on the edge of the outside curtain of the second group,
18 And fifty hooks of brass for joining them together to make the tent.
19 And they made a cover of sheepskins coloured red, to go over the tent, and a cover of leather over that.
20 And for the uprights of the House they made boards of hard wood.
21 The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.
22 Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.
23 They made twenty boards for the south side of the House:
24 And for these twenty boards, forty silver bases, two bases under every board, to take its tongues.
25 And for the second side of the House, on the north, they made twenty boards,
26 With their forty silver bases, two bases for every board.
27 And for the west side of the House, at the back, they made six boards,
28 And two boards for the angles at the back.
29 These were joined together at the base and at the top to one ring, so forming the two angles.
30 So there were eight boards with sixteen bases of silver, two bases under every board.
31 And they made rods of hard wood; five for the boards on one side of the House,
32 And five for the boards on the other side of the House, and five for the boards at the back, on the west.
33 The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other.
34 All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.
35 And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.
36 And they made four pillars for it of hard wood plated with gold: they had hooks of gold and four silver bases.
37 And they made a curtain for the door of the tent, of the best linen with needlework of blue and purple and red;
38 And five pillars for the curtain, with their hooks; the heads of the pillars were of gold and they were circled with bands of gold; and their five bases were of brass.
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。
