And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps, so the tabernacle was one. And he made curtains of goats' [hair] for a tent over the tabernacle. Eleven curtains he made them. The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.

And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets, under every board two sockets. And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.

And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that LORD has commanded. And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart LORD had put wisdom, even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it, and they received from Moses all the offering which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. And they brought yet to him freewill-offerings every morning. read more.
And all the wise men, who wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought.

So the people were restrained from bringing. For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.

having a golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid entirely in gold, in which was a golden pot holding the manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. And above it were cherubim of glory overshadowing the place of forgiveness, about which things it is not now to speak in detail. And these things thus having been prepared, the priests indeed enter into the first part of the tabernacle continually, accomplishing the services. But into the second part, the high priest alone, once a year, not without blood, which he offers for himself and for the unintentional sins of the people, this signifying from the Holy Spirit, the way into the holy things is not yet to be made known while the first tabernacle still remains. Which is a figure for the present time, according to which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that are not able to make the man officiating fully perfect in respect to conscience, only in foods and drinks and various washings: carnal ordinances imposed until a time of reformation. But Christ, having arrived a high priest of the good things that are coming, through the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, he entered in once into the Holy things, having found eternal redemption.

Indeed therefore, a necessity was for the models of the things in the heavens themselves to be cleansed with these, but the heavenly things with better sacrifices than these.

But to the place which LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation ye shall seek, and there thou shall come. And there ye shall bring your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the firstlings of your herd and of your flock.

Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place that thou see, but in the place which LORD shall choose in one of thy tribes. There thou shall offer thy burnt-offerings, and there thou shall do all that I command thee.
