Exodus 36

The stuff and materials which was brought by the children of Israel for a heave-offering to the making of the Tabernacle , is committed to the hands of Bezeleel and Aholiah , v.1,etc.The people are forbidden to bring more, 5. The Artificers fall awork, and make all ready that belongeth to the Tabernacle ,as the Curtains with the Cherubims, 8. the Curtains of goats (hair), 14. the covers of the rams -skins , and the badgers-skins , 19. the planks , with their tenons , and the bars , the Vail,20, etc.

1. Then Bezaleel wrought, and Aholiah, and every man that was wife of heart, into whom the LORD has given wisdome and understanding for to know , how they should make all the work for the service of the Sanctuary , according to all that the LORD had commanded .

2. For Moseh had called Bezaleel and Aholiah , and every man that was wise of heart , in whose heart God had given wisdom : every one whose heart moved him to step to the work, for to make the same .

3. They then took from before the face of Moseh , all the heave-offering [viz. the gold, silver , copper & c. which was offered] which the children of Israel had brought to the work of the service of the Sanctuary, for to make the same : howbeit they brought to him every morning yet [Heb. in the morning , in the morning] free-will-offering.

4. Therefore all the wise (men) came, which made all the work of the Sanctuary : every one [Heb. man , man] from his work which they made .

5. And they spake to Moseh , saying ; The people brings too much : [Heb. the people multiplieth to bring , or, multiplying the people bringeth] more then sufficeth for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make.

6. Then Moseh commanded that a voice shall be made to go [i.e. Proclaimation should be made , a publique notice given] throughout the camp , saying : Let nor man nor woman [i.e. prepare,furnish] more work [i.e. stuff or materials for the work] for (a) heave-offering of the Sanctuary : so the people were kept back from bringing (more) .

7. For of the stuff [Heb. of the work , i.e. of the stuff or materials for the work , as verse 6.] there was enough to them [viz.to the Artificers or workmen , i.e. they had stuff enough for all this work] for all the work that was to be made, yea there was over.

8. Thus every one wife of heart among them which made the work , did make the Tabernacle of ten Curtains : [The Tabernacle was first made , although chap.25. The Ark , and the Table, and the Candlestick were first mentioned because the Tabernacle was to contain all the furniture] ; of fine twinned linnen, and a skie- colour , and purple , and scarlet, (with) Cherubims , of the most artificial work he made them .

9. The length of one Curtain was twenty eight ells , and the bredth of one Curtain four ells : all these Curtains had one measure. [viz. both for length and breadth.]

10. And he joined five curtains , the one to the other : and he joined (other ) five curtains , the one to the (other).

11. After that , he made loops of skie -colour at the edge of one Curtain , on the uttermost in the jointing (place) : he did it likewise at the uttermost edge of the second joining Curtain .

12. Fifty loops he made at the one Curtain , and the fifty loops he made at the uttermost of the Curtain , that was at the second joining : these loops took hold the one of the other.

13. he made likewise fifty golden (little) hooks , and joined the Curtains together , the one to the other , by these hooks : that it became one Tabernacle .

14. Moreover he made Curtains of goats-(hair) for a Tent [the word Tent signifieth here as much as a Roof or upper Cover] over the Tabernacle ; he made it eleven Curtains.

15. The length of one Curtain was thirty ells , and four ells the breadth of one Curtain : these eleven Curtains had one measure .

16. And he joined five Curtains together apart : again six of these Curtains apart .

17. And he made fifty loops at the edge of the Curtain , the uttermost in the joining together : and he made likewise fifty loops at the edge of the Curtain of the other joining .

18. He made likewise fifty copper hooks , to join the Tent together , for to be one .

19. Also he made a Cover for the Tent of red-died rams-skins : and over that a cover badgers -skins .

20. He made likewise planks on the Tabernacle of standing Sittim-wood.

21. The length of one plank was ten ells : and one ell and half an ell was the breadth of each plank .

22. Two tenons [Heb. bands] one plank had , set as degrees in a ladder , the one by the other ; thus he did with all the planks of the Tabernacle .

23. He made also the planks for the Tabernacle : twenty planks to the south-side South-wards.

24. And he made forty silver feet under the twenty planks : two feet under one plank , and its two tenons ; and two feet under an other plank , and its two tenons .

25. He made likewise twenty planks on the other side of the Tabernacle , on the North-corner .

26. With their fourty silver feet : two feet under one plank , and two feet under an other plank .

27. But on the sides of the Tabernacle towards the West , he made six planks .

28. Also he made two planks , for corner-planks of the tabernacle on both sides .

29. And they were joined together from beneath (like ) twins at the upper end of the same with a ring : thus he did with them both at the two corners .

30. Thus there were eight planks with their silver feet, being sixteen feet : two feet under each plank . [Heb. two feet , two feet , under one plank.]

31. He made likewise bars of Sittim-wood : five on the planks of the one side of the Tabernacle .

32. And five bars on the planks of the other side of the Tabernacle : as also five bars on the planks of the Tabernacle on both sides West-ward.

33. And he made the middlemost bar shooting through in the midst of the planks from one end to the other end.

34. And he over-laid the planks with gold , and their rings ( the places for the bars ) he made of gold : the bars he likewise over-laid with gold .

35. After that , he made a Vail , [This Vail made a partition betwixt the holy (place ) and the Holy of Holies] of skie-colour , an purple , and scarlet , and fine twinned linnen : of the most artificial work he made the same with Cherubims .

36. And he made four pillars for it of Sittim-(wood) , which he over-laid with gold ; their hooks were of gold , and he cast four silver feet for them.

37. He made also on the door ofnthe Tent , a cover of skie-colour , [This was an other cover , distinguished from the Vail , verse 35,] and purple , and scarlet, and fine twinned linnen , embroidered work.

38. And the five pillars thereof , and their hooks , and he over-laid their heads , and their fillets with gold : and their five feet were of copper.
