Exodus 37
And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the width of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: 2 and he overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a crown of gold around it. 3 And he cast for it four rings of gold, in the four feet of it; even two tings on the one side of it, and two rings on the other side of it. 4 And he made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. 6 And he made a mercy-seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the width of it. 7 And he made two cherubim of gold; of beaten work made he them, at the two ends of the mercy-seat; 8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end: of one piece with the mercy-seat made he the cherubim at the two ends of it. 9 And the cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy-seat with their wings, with their faces one to another; toward the mercy-seat were the faces of the cherubim.
10 And he made the table of acacia wood: two cubits was the length of it, and a cubit the width of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it: 11 and he overlaid it with pure gold, and made around it a crown of gold. 12 And he made around it a border of a hand-width, and made a golden crown around the border thereof. 13 And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings in the four corners that were on the four feet of it. 14 Close by the border were the rings, the places for the poles to bear the table. 15 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table. 16 And he made the vessels which were on the table, the dishes of it, and the spoons of it, and the bowls of it, and the flagons of it, with which to pour out, of pure gold.
17 And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candle-stick, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knobs, and its flowers, were of one piece with it: 18 and there were six branches going out of the sides of it; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side of it, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side of it: 19 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knob and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knob and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the candlestick. 20 And in the candlestick were four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knobs of it, and the flowers of it; 21 and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, and a knob under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it. 22 Their knobs and their branches were of one piece with it: the whole of it was one beaten work of pure gold. 23 And he made the lamps of it, seven, and the snuffers of it, and the pans of it, of pure gold. 24 Of a talent Of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels of it.
25 And he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit was the length of it, and a cubit the width of it, four-square; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns were of one piece with it. 26 And he overlaid it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it all around, and the horns of it: and he made around it a crown of gold. 27 And he made for it two golden rings under the crown, upon the two ribs, upon the two sides of it, for places for poles with which to bear it. 28 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold. 29 And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the perfumer.
Exodus 38
And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length of it, and five cubits the width of it, foursquare; and three cubits the height of it. 2 And he made the horns of it upon the four corners of it; the horns of it were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans: all the vessels of it he made of bronze. 4 And he made for the altar a grating of network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. 5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of bronze, to be places for the poles. 6 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and over laid them with bronze. 7 And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it; he made it hollow with planks.
8 And he made the laver of bronze, and the base of it of bronze, of the mirrors of the ministering women that ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.
9 And he made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; 10 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver 11 And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their bands, 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 bands, of silver. 13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three; 15 and the same for the other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court 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 bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their bands, of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals, of silver; and all the pillars of the court were banded with silver. 18 And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the width was five cubits, near the hangings of the court. 19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of bronze; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their bands, of silver. 20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court around it, were bronze.
21 This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 22 And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh commanded Moses. 23 And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
24 All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, 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 a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand three thousand five hundred and fifty men. 27 And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets for 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 capitals, and made bands for them. 29 And the bronze of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 30 And with that he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar, and the bronze grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 31 and the sockets of the court around it, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court around it.
Exodus 39
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely woven garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. 3 And they 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, the work of the skilful workman. 4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, joined together; at the two ends it was joined together. 5 And the skilfully woven band, that was on it, with which to gird it on, was of the same piece and like the work of it; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
6 And they wrought the onyx stones, inclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel. 7 And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
8 And he made the breastplate, the work of the skilful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9 It was square; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length of it, and a span the width of it, being double. 10 And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row; 11 and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in inclosings of gold in their settings. 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 according to his name, for the twelve tribes. 15 And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreath work of pure gold. 16 And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 17 And they put the two wreath chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 18 And the other two ends of the two wreath chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, in the forepart of it. 19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was toward the side of the ephod inward. 20 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod. 21 And they bound the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue; 23 and the hole of the robe in the middle of it, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding around the hole of it, that it would not tear. 24 And they made on the skirts 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 on the skirts of the robe all around, between the pomegranates; 26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, on the skirts of the robe all around, to minister in; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
27 And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, 28 and the mitre of fine linen, and the good headbands of fine linen, and the linen trousers of fine twined linen, 29 and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO YAHWEH. 31 And they tied a lace of blue to it, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
32 In this manner was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: and the children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses; so they did. 33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets; 34 and the covering of rams skins dyed red, and the covering of tahash skins, and the veil of the screen; 35 the ark of the testimony, and the poles of it, and the mercy-seat; 36 the table, all the vessels of it, and the show-bread; 37 the pure candle stick, the lamps of it, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels of it, and the oil for the light; 38 and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the tent; the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base; 40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords of it, and the pins of it, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 41 the finely woven garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office. 42 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as Yahweh had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
Exodus 40
And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 On the first day of the first month shall you rear up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 3 And you shall put in it the ark of the testimony, and you shall screen the ark with the veil. 4 And you shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it; and you shall bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps of it. 5 And you shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle. 6 And you shall set the altar of burnt-offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. 7 And you shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shall put water in it. 8 And you shall set up the court round about, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court. 9 And you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall hallow it, and all the furniture of it: it shall be holy. 10 And you shall anoint the altar of burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and sanctify the altar: and the altar shall be most holy. 11 And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and sanctify it. 12 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tent of meeting and shall wash them with water. 13 And you shall put upon Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office. 14 And you shall bring his sons, and put coats upon them; 15 and you shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office: and their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations. 16 In this manner did Moses: according to all that Yahweh commanded him, so he did;
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 raised. 18 And Moses raised the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up the boards of it, and put in the bars of it, and raised its pillars. 19 And he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 20 And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles 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 veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the testimony; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 22 And he put the table in the tent of meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside the veil. 23 And he set the bread in order on it before Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 24 And he put the candlestick in the tent of meeting, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward. 25 And he lighted the lamps before Yahweh; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 26 And he put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the veil: 27 and he burnt on it incense of sweet spices; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 28 And he put the screen of the door to the tabernacle. 29 And he set the altar of burnt-offering at the door of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt-offering and the meal-offering; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 30 And he set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it, for washing. 31 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet there; 32 when they went into the tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, they washed; as Yahweh commanded Moses. 33 And he raised the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle. 35 And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of meeting, because the cloud remained on it, and the glory of Yahweh filled the tabernacle. 36 And when the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys: 37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not journey till the day that it was taken up. 38 For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
