1Therefore Bezaleel, and Aholiab, and each wise man, to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding, that they know how to work craftily, made things that were needful into the uses of the saintuary, and which the Lord commanded to be made.

2And when Moses had called them, and each learned man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom and knowing, and the which proffered themselves by their own free will to make the work,

3Moses betook to them all the gifts of the sons of Israel. And when they were busy in their work each day, the people offered their avows early.

4Wherefore the workmen were compelled to come,

5and they said to Moses, The people offereth more than is needful.

6Therefore Moses commanded to be cried by the voice of a crier, Neither man nor woman offer more anything in the work of [the] saintuary; and so it was ceased from gifts to be offered,

7for the things offered sufficed, and were over-abundant.

8And all the wise men in heart, to fulfill the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of bis folded again, and of jacinth, and purple, and of red silk twice-dyed, by diverse work, and by craft of many colours.

9Of which curtains one had in length eight and twenty cubits, and four cubits in breadth; one measure was of all the curtains.

10And he joined five curtains one to another, and he coupled other five to themselves together;

11and he made eyelets of jacinth in the hem of the one curtain on ever either side, and in like manner in the hem of the tother curtain,

12that the eyelets shall come together against themselves, and they shall be joined together;

13wherefore he melted out also fifty golden rings, that shall hold the eyelets of the curtains; and so one tabernacle was made.

14He made also eleven says of the hairs of goats, to cover the roof of the tabernacle;

15one say had thirty cubits in length, [and] four cubits in breadth; all the says were of one measure;

16of which says he joined five by themselves, and six others by them-selves.

17And he made fifty eyelets in the hem of one say, and fifty in the hem of the tother say, that those [or they] should be joined to themselves together;

18and he made fifty buckles of brass by which the roof was fastened together, that one covering were made of all the says.

19He made also a covering of the tabernacle of the skins of rams made red, and another veil above, of the skins of jacinth.

20He made also [the] standing boards of the tabernacle, of the wood of shittim;

21the length of one board was of ten cubits, and the breadth held one cubit and an half.

22Two indentings [or rabbetings] were by each board, that the one should be joined to the tother; so he made in all the boards of the taber-nacle.

23Of which boards twenty were at the midday coast against the south,

24with forty bases of silver; two bases were set under one board on ever either side of the corners, where the indentings [or rabbetings] of the sides were ended in the corners.

25And at the coast of the tabernacle that beholdeth to the north, he made twenty boards,

26with forty bases of silver, two bases by each board.

27Forsooth against the west, he made six boards,

28and twain [or two] other boards by each corner of the tabernacle behind,

29which were joined from beneath till to above, and were borne into one joining altogether; so he made on ever either part by the corners,

30that they were eight boards altogether, and they had sixteen bases of silver, that is, two bases under each board.

31He made also bars of the wood of shittim, five bars to hold together the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32and five other bars to shape together the boards of the tother side; and without these, he made five other bars for the boards at the west coast of the tabernacle against the sea.

33He made also another bar, that should come by the middle boards, from corner till to corner.

34Forsooth he overgilded the walls made of the boards, and he melted out their silveren bases, and he made their golden rings, by which the bars might be brought in, and he covered those same bars with golden plates.

35He made also a veil diverse and parted, of jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and bis folded again, by the work of embroidery.

36He made also four pillars of wood of shittim, which pillars with the hooks he overgilded, and he melted out their silveren bases.

37He made also in the entering of the tabernacle a curtain of jacinth, and purple, and red silk twice-dyed, and bis folded again, by the work of embroidery.

38And he made five pillars with their hooks, which he covered with gold; and he melted out their brazen bases, and their holdings, which he covered with gold.
