EXODUS 37
1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood; it was two and a half cubits
long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.
2 He overlaid it with pure gold inside and outside, and made a
moulding of gold around it.
3 He cast for it four rings of gold for its four feet, two rings on
its one side and two rings on its other side.
4 He made poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold,
5and put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to carry the
ark.
6 He made a mercy seat of pure gold; two cubits and a half was its
length, and a cubit and a half its width.
7 He made two cherubim of hammered gold; at the two ends of the
mercy seat he made them,
8 one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end; of one
piece with the mercy seat he made the cherubim at its two ends.
9 The cherubim spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy
seat with their wings. They faced one another; the faces of the cherubim were
turned toward the mercy seat.
10 He also made the table of acacia wood, two cubits long, one cubit
wide, and a cubit and a half high.
11 He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a moulding of gold around
it.
12 He made around it a rim a handbreadth wide, and made a moulding of
gold around the rim.
13 He cast for it four rings of gold, and fastened the rings to the
four corners at its four legs.
14 The rings that held the poles used for carrying the table were
close to the rim.
15 He made the poles of acacia wood to carry the table, and overlaid
them with gold.
16 And he made the vessels of pure gold that were to be on the table,
its plates and dishes for incense, and its bowls and flagons with which to pour
drink offerings.
17 He also made the lampstand of pure gold. The base and the shaft of
the lampstand were made of hammered work; its cups, its calyxes, and its petals
were of one piece with it.
18 There were six branches going out of its sides, three branches of
the lampstand out of one side of it and three branches of the lampstand out of
the other side of it;
19 three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with calyx and
petals, on one branch, and three cups shaped like almond blossoms, each with
calyx and petals, on the other branch—so for the six branches going out of the
lampstand.
20 On the lampstand itself there were four cups shaped like almond
blossoms, each with its calyxes and petals.
21 There was a calyx of one piece with it under the first pair of
branches, a calyx of one piece with it under the next pair of branches, and a
calyx of one piece with it under the last pair of branches.
22 Their calyxes and their branches were of one piece with it, the
whole of it one hammered piece of pure gold.
23 He made its seven lamps and its snuffers and its trays of pure
gold.
24 He made it and all its utensils of a talent of pure gold.
25 He made the altar of incense of acacia wood, one cubit long, and
one cubit wide; it was square, and was two cubits high; its horns were of one
piece with it.
26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides all around,
and its horns; and he made for it a moulding of gold all around,
27 and made two golden rings for it under its moulding, on two
opposite sides of it, to hold the poles with which to carry it.
28 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with
gold.
29 He made the holy anointing oil also, and the pure fragrant
incense, blended as by the perfumer.
EXODUS 38
1 He made the altar of burnt offering also of acacia wood; it was
five cubits long, and five cubits wide; it was square, and three cubits
high.
2 He made horns for it on its four corners; its horns were of one
piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.
3 He made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the
basins, the forks, and the fire-pans: all its utensils he made of bronze.
4 He made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its
ledge, extending halfway down.
5 He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating to
hold the poles;
6 he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with
bronze.
7 And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar,
to carry it with them; he made it hollow, with boards.
8 He made the basin of bronze with its stand of bronze, from the
mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
9 He made the court; for the south side the hangings of the court
were of fine twisted linen, one hundred cubits long;
10 its twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the
hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.
11 For the north side there were hangings one hundred cubits long;
its twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the
pillars and their bands were of silver.
12 For the west side there were hangings fifty cubits long, with ten
pillars and ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.
13 And for the front to the east, fifty cubits.
14 The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with
three pillars and three bases.
15 And so for the other side; on each side of the gate of the court
were hangings of fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases.
16 All the hangings around the court were of fine twisted
linen.
17 The bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars
and their bands were of silver; the overlaying of their capitals was also of
silver, and all the pillars of the court were banded with silver.
18 The screen for the entrance to the court was embroidered with
needlework in blue, purple, and crimson yarns and fine twisted linen. It was
twenty cubits long and, along the width of it, five cubits high, corresponding
to the hangings of the court.
19 There were four pillars; their four bases were of bronze, their
hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their bands of
silver.
20 All the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court all around were
of bronze.
21 These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the
covenant, which were drawn up at the commandment of Moses, the work of the
Levites being under the direction of Ithamar son of the priest Aaron.
22 Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all
that the Lord commanded Moses;
23 and with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan,
engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and in
fine linen.
24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction
of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven
hundred thirty shekels, measured by the sanctuary shekel.
25 The silver from those of the congregation who were counted was one
hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, measured
by the sanctuary shekel;
26 a beka a head (that is, half a shekel, measured by the sanctuary
shekel), for everyone who was counted in the census, from twenty years old and
upward, for six hundred three thousand, five hundred fifty men.
27 The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the
sanctuary, and the bases of the curtain; one hundred bases for the hundred
talents, a talent for a base.
28 Of the thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks
for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals and made bands for them.
29 The bronze that was contributed was seventy talents, and two
thousand four hundred shekels;
30 with it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting,
the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the
altar,
31 the bases all around the court, and the bases of the gate of the
court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.
EXODUS 39
1 Of the blue, purple, and crimson yarns they made finely worked
vestments, for ministering in the holy place; they made the sacred vestments
for Aaron; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2 He made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and
of fine twisted linen.
3 Gold leaf was hammered out and cut into threads to work into the
blue, purple, and crimson yarns and into the fine twisted linen, in skilled
design.
4 They made for the ephod shoulder-pieces, joined to it at its two
edges.
5 The decorated band on it was of the same materials and
workmanship, of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted
linen; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 The onyx stones were prepared, enclosed in settings of gold
filigree and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names
of the sons of Israel.
7 He set them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of
remembrance for the sons of Israel; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8 He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, like the work of the
ephod, of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted
linen.
9 It was square; the breastpiece was made double, a span in length
and a span in width when doubled.
10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of carnelian,
chrysolite, and emerald was the first row;
11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a
moonstone;
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
enclosed in settings of gold filigree.
14 There were twelve stones with names corresponding to the names of
the sons of Israel; they were like signets, each engraved with its name, for
the twelve tribes.
15 They made on the breastpiece chains of pure gold, twisted like
cords;
16 and they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings,
and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece;
17 and they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges
of the breastpiece.
18 Two ends of the two cords they had attached to the two settings of
filigree; in this way they attached it in front to the shoulder-pieces of the
ephod.
19 Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of
the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.
20 They made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the
lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at its joining above the
decorated band of the ephod.
21 They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod
with a blue cord, so that it should lie on the decorated band of the ephod, and
that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod; as the Lord had
commanded Moses.
22 He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue yarn;
23 and the opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the
opening in a coat of mail, with a binding around the opening, so that it might
not be torn.
24 On the lower hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue,
purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen.
25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the
pomegranates on the lower hem of the robe all around, between the
pomegranates;
26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate all around on
the lower hem of the robe for ministering; as the Lord had commanded
Moses.
27 They also made the tunics, woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his
sons,
28 and the turban of fine linen, and the headdresses of fine linen,
and the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen,
29 and the sash of fine twisted linen, and of blue, purple, and
crimson yarns, embroidered with needlework; as the Lord had commanded
Moses.
30 They made the rosette of the holy diadem of pure gold, and wrote
on it an inscription, like the engraving of a signet, "Holy to the
Lord."
31 They tied to it a blue cord, to fasten it on the turban above; as
the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 In this way all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting
was finished; the Israelites had done everything just as the Lord had commanded
Moses.
33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its
utensils, its hooks, its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases;
34 the covering of tanned rams' skins and the covering of fine leather, and
the curtain for the screen;
35 the Ark of the Covenant with its poles and the mercy seat;
36 the table with all its utensils, and the bread of the
Presence;
37 the pure lampstand with its lamps set on it and all its utensils,
and the oil for the light;
38 the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and
the screen for the entrance of the tent;
39 the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all
its utensils; the basin with its stand;
40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the
screen for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the utensils
for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
41 the finely worked vestments for ministering in the holy place, the
sacred vestments for the priest Aaron, and the vestments of his sons to serve
as priests.
42 The Israelites had done all of the work just as the Lord had
commanded Moses.
43 When Moses saw that they had done all the work just as the Lord
had commanded, he blessed them.
EXODUS 40
1 The Lord spoke to Moses:
2 On the first day of the first month you shall set up the
tabernacle of the tent of meeting.
3 You shall put in it the Ark of the Covenant, and you shall screen
the ark with the curtain.
4 You shall bring in the table, and arrange its setting; and you
shall bring in the lampstand, and set up its lamps.
5 You shall put the golden altar for incense before the Ark of the
Covenant, and set up the screen for the entrance of the tabernacle.
6 You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the entrance of
the tabernacle of the tent of meeting,
7 and place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and
put water in it.
8 You shall set up the court all around, and hang up the screen for
the gate of the court.
9 Then you shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle
and all that is in it, and consecrate it and all its furniture, so that it
shall become holy.
10 You shall also anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its
utensils, and consecrate the altar, so that the altar shall be most holy.
11 You shall also anoint the basin with its stand, and consecrate
it.
12 Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent
of meeting, and shall wash them with water,
13 and put on Aaron the sacred vestments and you shall anoint him and
consecrate him, so that he may serve me as priest.
14 You shall bring his sons also and put tunics on them,
15 and anoint them, as you anointed their father that they may serve
me as priests: and their anointing shall admit them to a perpetual priesthood
throughout all generations to come.
16 Moses did everything just as the Lord had commanded him.
17 In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the
month, the tabernacle was set up.
18 Moses set up the tabernacle; he laid its bases, and set up its
frames, and put in its poles, and rose up its pillars;
19 and he spread the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering
of the tent over it; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
20 He took the covenant and put it into the ark, and put the poles on
the ark, and set the mercy seat above the ark;
21 and he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the curtain
for screening, and screened the Ark of the Covenant; as the Lord had commanded
Moses.
22 He put the table in the tent of meeting, on the north side of the
tabernacle, outside the curtain,
23 and set the bread in order on it before the Lord; as the Lord had
commanded Moses.
24 He put the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table on
the south side of the tabernacle,
25 and set up the lamps before the Lord; as the Lord had commanded
Moses.
26 He put the golden altar in the tent of meeting before the
curtain,
27 and offered fragrant incense on it; as the Lord had commanded
Moses.
28 He also put in place the screen for the entrance of the
tabernacle.
29 He set the altar of burnt offering at the entrance of the
tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the
grain offering as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 He set the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and
put water in it for washing,
31 with which Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their
feet.
32 When they went into the tent of meeting, and when they approached
the altar, they washed; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
33 He set up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and put
up the screen at the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the
Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud
settled upon it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
36 Whenever the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, the
Israelites would set out on each stage of their journey;
37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until
the day that it was taken up.
38 For the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and fire
was in the cloud by night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel at each
stage of their journey.
