Exodus 36 : 1 (HCSB)
Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the skilled people are to work based on everything the LORD has commanded. The LORD has given them wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work of constructing the sanctuary."
Exodus 36 : 2 (HCSB)
So Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person in whose heart the LORD had placed wisdom, everyone whose heart moved him, to come to the work and do it.
Exodus 36 : 3 (HCSB)
They took from Moses' presence all the contributions that the Israelites had brought for the task of making the sanctuary. Meanwhile, the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.
Exodus 36 : 4 (HCSB)
Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came one by one from the work they were doing
Exodus 36 : 5 (HCSB)
and said to Moses, "The people are bringing more than is needed for the construction of the work the LORD commanded to be done."
Exodus 36 : 6 (HCSB)
After Moses gave an order, they sent a proclamation throughout the camp: "Let no man or woman make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary." So the people stopped.
Exodus 36 : 7 (HCSB)
The materials were sufficient for them to do all the work. There was more than enough.
Exodus 36 : 8 (HCSB)
All the skilled craftsmen among those doing the work made the tabernacle with 10 curtains. Bezalel made them of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with a design of cherubim worked into them.
Exodus 36 : 9 (HCSB)
The length of each curtain was 42 feet, and the width of each curtain six feet; all the curtains had the same measurements.
Exodus 36 : 10 (HCSB)
He joined five of the curtains to each other, and the *other five curtains he joined to each other.
Exodus 36 : 11 (HCSB)
He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the last curtain in the first set and did the same on the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.
Exodus 36 : 12 (HCSB)
He made 50 loops on the one curtain and 50 loops on the edge of the curtain in the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other.
Exodus 36 : 13 (HCSB)
He also made 50 gold clasps and joined the curtains to each other, so that the tabernacle became a single unit.
Exodus 36 : 14 (HCSB)
He made curtains of goat hair for a tent over the tabernacle; he also made 11 of them.

He made 50 loops on the edge of the outermost curtain in the *first set and 50 loops on the edge of the corresponding curtain in the second set.
Exodus 36 : 18 (HCSB)
He made 50 bronze clasps to join the tent together as a single unit.
Exodus 36 : 19 (HCSB)
He also made a covering for the tent from ram skins dyed red and a covering of manatee skins on top of it.
Exodus 36 : 20 (HCSB)
He made upright planks of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
Exodus 36 : 21 (HCSB)
The length of each plank was 15 feet, and the width of each was 27 inches.
Exodus 36 : 22 (HCSB)
There were two tenons connected to each other for each plank. He did the same for all the planks of the tabernacle.
Exodus 36 : 23 (HCSB)
He made planks for the tabernacle as follows: 20 for the south side,
Exodus 36 : 24 (HCSB)
and he made 40 silver bases to put under the 20 planks, two bases under the first plank for its two tenons, and two bases under each of the following planks for their two tenons;
Exodus 36 : 25 (HCSB)
for the second side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made 20 planks,
Exodus 36 : 26 (HCSB)
with their 40 silver bases, two bases under the first plank and two bases under each of the following ones;
Exodus 36 : 27 (HCSB)
and for the west side of the tabernacle he made six planks.
Exodus 36 : 28 (HCSB)
He also made two additional planks for the two back corners of the tabernacle.
Exodus 36 : 29 (HCSB)
They were paired at the bottom and joined together at the top in a single ring. This is what he did with both of them for the two corners.
Exodus 36 : 30 (HCSB)
So there were eight planks with their 16 silver bases, two bases under each one.
Exodus 36 : 31 (HCSB)
He made five crossbars of acacia wood for the planks on one side of the tabernacle,
Exodus 36 : 32 (HCSB)
five crossbars for the planks on the other side of the tabernacle, and five crossbars for those at the back of the tabernacle on the west.
Exodus 36 : 33 (HCSB)
He made the central crossbar run through the middle of the planks from one end to the other.
Exodus 36 : 34 (HCSB)
He overlaid them with gold and made their rings and holders for the crossbars out of gold. He also overlaid the crossbars with gold.
Exodus 36 : 35 (HCSB)
Then he made the veil with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. He made it with a design of cherubim worked into it.
Exodus 36 : 36 (HCSB)
For it he made four posts of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold; their hooks were of gold. And he cast four silver bases for the posts.
Exodus 36 : 37 (HCSB)
He made a screen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen for the entrance to the tent,
Exodus 36 : 38 (HCSB)
together with its five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, but their five bases were bronze.
