in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of skillful workmanship.

He has put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

He has filled them with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, of the skillful workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of those who do any workmanship, and of those who make skillful works.

"Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD has commanded."

Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it:

The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.

He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.

He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain from the edge in the coupling. Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.

He made fifty loops in the one curtain, and he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling. The loops were opposite one to another.

He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.

The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.

He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outmost in the second coupling.

Each board had two tenons, joined one to another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.

He made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.

For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,

and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.

He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.

They were double beneath, and in like manner they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did thus to both of them in the two corners.

He made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

He made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.

He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;

He cast four rings of gold for it, in its four feet; even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its other side.

He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark.

one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other end. He made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends.

The cherubim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

He made a border of a handbreadth around it, and made a golden molding on its border around it.

He cast four rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were on its four feet.

He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons, its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure gold.

He made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers were of one piece with it.

There were six branches going out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of its one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of its other side:

three cups made like almond blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and three cups made like almond blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a flower: so for the six branches going out of the lampstand.

In the lampstand were four cups made like almond blossoms, its buds and its flowers;

and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.

Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold.

He made the altar of incense of acacia wood. It was square: its length was a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. Its height was two cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it.

He made two golden rings for it under its molding crown, on its two ribs, on its two sides, for places for poles with which to carry it.

He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with brass.

He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

For the north side one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.

The hangings for the one side were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three;

and so 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.

The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, like to the hangings of the court.

With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.

All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for the one hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

Of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them.

Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.

The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.

They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.

They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.

They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD commanded Moses.

The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.

They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.

a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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 THE LORD."

the pure lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,

the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

"On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.

You shall put the ark of the testimony in it, and you shall veil the ark with the curtain.

You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lampstand, and light its lamps.

You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle, and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture: and it will be holy.

You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office.

You shall bring his sons, and put coats on them.

You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations."

It happened in the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, that the tabernacle was raised up.

Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.

He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He took and put the testimony into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.

He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the side of the tabernacle northward, outside of the veil.

He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.

He put the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.

He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;

and he burnt incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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 the LORD commanded Moses.

When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.

Moses wasn't able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD's glory filled the tabernacle.

When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;

For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to the LORD, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from the flock.

He shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

And he shall kill the bull before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

but its entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to the LORD.

He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before the LORD. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.
