2. Israel Builds the Tabernacle . . . 36:8-40:33
Exo 36:8
And every wise hearted man among them that wrought the work of the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet: with cherubims of cunning work made he them.Exo 36:9
The length of one curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the breadth of one curtain four cubits: the curtains were all of one size.Exo 36:10
And he coupled the five curtains one unto another: and the other five curtains he coupled one unto another.Exo 36:11
And he made loops of blue on the edge of one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the uttermost side of another curtain, in the coupling of the second.Exo 36:12
Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain which was in the coupling of the second: the loops held one curtain to another.Exo 36:13
And he made fifty taches of gold, and coupled the curtains one unto another with the taches: so it became one tabernacle.Exo 36:14
And he made curtains of goats' hair for the tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.Exo 36:15
The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the breadth of one curtain: the eleven curtains were of one size.Exo 36:16
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.Exo 36:17
And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which coupleth the second.Exo 36:18
And he made fifty taches of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.Exo 36:19
And he made a covering for the tent of rams' skins dyed red, and a covering of badgers' skins above that.Exo 36:20
And he made boards for the tabernacle of shittim wood, standing up.Exo 36:21
The length of a board was ten cubits, and the breadth of a board one cubit and a half.Exo 36:22
One board had two tenons, equally distant one from another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.Exo 36:23
And he made boards for the tabernacle; twenty boards for the south side southward:Exo 36:24
And forty sockets of silver he made under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for his two tenons, and two sockets under another board for his two tenons.Exo 36:25
And for the other side of the tabernacle, which is toward the north corner, he made twenty boards,Exo 36:26
And their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.Exo 36:27
And for the sides of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.Exo 36:28
And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the two sides.Exo 36:29
And they were coupled beneath, and coupled together at the head thereof, to one ring: thus he did to both of them in both the corners.Exo 36:30
And there were eight boards; and their sockets were sixteen sockets of silver, under every board two sockets.Exo 36:31
And he made bars of shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,Exo 36:32
And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the sides westward.Exo 36:33
And he made the middle bar to shoot through the boards from the one end to the other.Exo 36:34
And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold to be places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.Exo 36:35
And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.Exo 36:36
And he made thereunto four pillars of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.Exo 36:37
And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework;Exo 36:38
And the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their chapiters and their fillets with gold: but their five sockets were of brass.Exo 37:1
And Bezaleel made the ark of shittim wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it:Exo 37:2
And he overlaid it with pure gold within and without, and made a crown of gold to it round about.Exo 37:3
And he cast for it four rings of gold, to be set by the four corners of it; even two rings upon the one side of it, and two rings upon the other side of it.Exo 37:4
And he made staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.Exo 37:5
And he put the staves into the rings by the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.Exo 37:6
And he made the mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half was the length thereof, and one cubit and a half the breadth thereof.Exo 37:7
And he made two cherubims of gold, beaten out of one piece made he them, on the two ends of the mercy seat;Exo 37:8
One cherub on the end on this side, and another cherub on the other end on that side: out of the mercy seat made he the cherubims on the two ends thereof.Exo 37:9
And the cherubims spread out their wings on high, and covered with their wings over the mercy seat, with their faces one to another; even to the mercy seatward were the faces of the cherubims.Exo 37:10
And he made the table of shittim wood: two cubits was the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, and a cubit and a half the height thereof:Exo 37:11
And he overlaid it with pure gold, and made thereunto a crown of gold round about.Exo 37:12
Also he made thereunto a border of an handbreadth round about; and made a crown of gold for the border thereof round about.Exo 37:13
And he cast for it four rings of gold, and put the rings upon the four corners that were in the four feet thereof.Exo 37:14
Over against the border were the rings, the places for the staves to bear the table.Exo 37:15
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to bear the table.Exo 37:16
And he made the vessels which were upon the table, his dishes, and his spoons, and his bowls, and his covers to cover withal, of pure gold.Exo 37:17
And he made the candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work made he the candlestick; his shaft, and his branch, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, were of the same:Exo 37:18
And six branches going out of the sides thereof; three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side thereof:Exo 37:19
Three bowls made after the fashion of almonds in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three bowls made like almonds in another branch, a knop and a flower: so throughout the six branches going out of the candlestick.Exo 37:20
And in the candlestick were four bowls made like almonds, his knops, and his flowers:Exo 37:21
And a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, and a knop under two branches of the same, according to the six branches going out of it.Exo 37:22
Their knops and their branches were of the same: all of it was one beaten work of pure gold.Exo 37:23
And he made his seven lamps, and his snuffers, and his snuffdishes, of pure gold.Exo 37:24
Of a talent of pure gold made he it, and all the vessels thereof.Exo 37:25
And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.Exo 37:26
And he overlaid it with pure gold, both the top of it, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns of it: also he made unto it a crown of gold round about.Exo 37:27
And he made two rings of gold for it under the crown thereof, by the two corners of it, upon the two sides thereof, to be places for the staves to bear it withal.Exo 37:28
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold.Exo 37:29
And he made the holy anointing oil, and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the apothecary.Exo 38:1
And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.Exo 38:2
And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.Exo 38:3
And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.Exo 38:4
And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.Exo 38:5
And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.Exo 38:6
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.Exo 38:7
And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.Exo 38:8
And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.Exo 38:9
And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:Exo 38:10
Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.Exo 38:11
And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.Exo 38:12
And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.Exo 38:13
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.Exo 38:14
The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.Exo 38:15
And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.Exo 38:16
All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.Exo 38:17
And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.Exo 38:18
And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.Exo 38:19
And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.Exo 38:20
And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.Exo 38:21
This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.Exo 38:22
And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 38:23
And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.Exo 38:24
All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.Exo 38:25
And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:Exo 38:26
A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.Exo 38:27
And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.Exo 38:28
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.Exo 38:29
And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.Exo 38:30
And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,Exo 38:31
And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.Exo 39:1
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 39:2
And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.Exo 39:3
And they did 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, with cunning work.Exo 39:4
They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.Exo 39:5
And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 39:6
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.Exo 39:7
And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 39:8
And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.Exo 39:9
It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.Exo 39:10
And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.Exo 39:11
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.Exo 39:12
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.Exo 39:13
And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.Exo 39:14
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 with his name, according to the twelve tribes.Exo 39:15
And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.Exo 39:16
And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.Exo 39:17
And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.Exo 39:18
And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.Exo 39:19
And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.Exo 39:20
And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.Exo 39:21
And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 39:22
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.Exo 39:23
And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.Exo 39:24
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.Exo 39:25
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;Exo 39:26
A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 39:27
And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,Exo 39:28
And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,Exo 39:29
And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 39:30
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.Exo 39:31
And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 39:32
Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.Exo 39:33
And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,Exo 39:34
And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,Exo 39:35
The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,Exo 39:36
The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,Exo 39:37
The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,Exo 39:38
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,Exo 39:39
The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,Exo 39:40
The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,Exo 39:41
The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.Exo 39:42
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.Exo 39:43
And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.Exo 40:1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,Exo 40:2
On the first day of the first month shalt thou set up the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.Exo 40:3
And thou shalt put therein the ark of the testimony, and cover the ark with the vail.Exo 40:4
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set in order the things that are to be set in order upon it; and thou shalt bring in the candlestick, and light the lamps thereof.Exo 40:5
And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.Exo 40:6
And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.Exo 40:7
And thou shalt set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and shalt put water therein.Exo 40:8
And thou shalt set up the court round about, and hang up the hanging at the court gate.Exo 40:9
And thou shalt take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is therein, and shalt hallow it, and all the vessels thereof: and it shall be holy.Exo 40:10
And thou shalt anoint the altar of the burnt offering, and all his vessels, and sanctify the altar: and it shall be an altar most holy.Exo 40:11
And thou shalt anoint the laver and his foot, and sanctify it.Exo 40:12
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and wash them with water.Exo 40:13
And thou shalt put upon Aaron the holy garments, and anoint him, and sanctify him; that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.Exo 40:14
And thou shalt bring his sons, and clothe them with coats:Exo 40:15
And thou shalt anoint them, as thou didst anoint their father, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office: for their anointing shall surely be an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.Exo 40:16
Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he.Exo 40:17
And it came to pass in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was reared up.Exo 40:18
And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and fastened his sockets, and set up the boards thereof, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his pillars.Exo 40:19
And he spread abroad the tent over the tabernacle, and put the covering of the tent above upon it; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 40:20
And he took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put the mercy seat above upon the ark:Exo 40:21
And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the vail of the covering, and covered the ark of the testimony; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 40:22
And he put the table in the tent of the congregation, upon the side of the tabernacle northward, without the vail.Exo 40:23
And he set the bread in order upon it before the LORD; as the LORD had commanded Moses.Exo 40:24
And he put the candlestick in the tent of the congregation, over against the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.Exo 40:25
And he lighted the lamps before the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 40:26
And he put the golden altar in the tent of the congregation before the vail:Exo 40:27
And he burnt sweet incense thereon; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 40:28
And he set up the hanging at the door of the tabernacle.Exo 40:29
And he put the altar of burnt offering by the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation, and offered upon it the burnt offering and the meat offering; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 40:30
And he set the laver between the tent of the congregation and the altar, and put water there, to wash withal.Exo 40:31
And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet thereat:Exo 40:32
When they went into the tent of the congregation, and when they came near unto the altar, they washed; as the LORD commanded Moses.Exo 40:33
And he reared up the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of the court gate. So Moses finished the work.
