* Beseleel , therefore , and Ooliab , and every wise man , to whom the Lord gave wisdom and understanding , to know how to work artificially , made the things that are necessary for the uses of the sanctuary , and which the Lord commanded . * And when Moses had called them , and every skilful man , to whom the Lord had given wisdom , and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work , * He delivered all the offerings of the children of Israel unto them . And while they were earnest about the work , the people daily in the morning offered their vows . * Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come , * Said to Moses : The people offereth more than is necessary . * Moses therefore commanded proclamation to be made by the crier 's voice : Let neither man nor woman offer any more for the work of the sanctuary . And so they ceased from offering gifts , * Because the things that were offered did suffice , and were too much . * And all the men that were wise of heart , to accomplish the work of the tabernacle , made ten curtains of twisted fine linen , and violet , and purple , and scarlet twice dyed , with varied work , and the art of embroidering : * The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits , and the breadth four : all the curtains were of the same size . * And he joined five curtains , one to another , and the other five he coupled one to another . * He made also loops of violet in the edge of the curtain on both sides , and in the edge of the other curtain in like manner , * That the loops might meet on against another , and might be joined each with the other . * Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold , that might catch the loops of the curtains , and they might be made one tabernacle . * He made also eleven curtains of goats ' hair , to cover the roof of the tabernacle : * One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad : all the curtains were of one measure . * Five of which he joined apart , and the other six apart . * And he made fifty loops in the edge of one curtain , and fifty in the edge of another curtain , that they might be joined one to another . * And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together , that of all the curtains there might be made one covering . * He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams ' skins dyed red : and another cover over that of violet skins . * He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing . * The length of one board was ten cubits : and the breadth was one cubit and a half . * There were two mortises throughout every board , that one might be joined to the other . And in this manner he made for all the boards of the tabernacle . * Of which twenty were at the south side southward , * With forty sockets of silver , two sockets were put under one board on the two sides of the corners , where the mortises of the sides end in the corners . * At that side also of the tabernacle , that looketh toward the north , he made twenty boards . * With forty sockets of silver , two sockets for every board . * But against the west , to wit , at that side of the tabernacle , which looketh to the sea , he made six boards , * And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind : * Which were also joined from beneath unto the top , and went together into one joint . Thus he did on both sides at the corners : * So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver , to wit , two sockets under every board . * He made also bars of setim wood , five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle , * And five others to join together the boards of the other side : and besides these , five other bars at the west side of the tabernacle towards the sea . * He made also another bar , that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner . * And the board works themselves he overlaid with gold , casting for them sockets of silver . And their rings he made of gold , through which the bars might be drawn : and he covered the bars themselves with plates of gold . * He made also a veil of violet , and purple , scarlet , and fine twisted linen , varied and distinguished with embroidery : * And four pillars of setim wood , which with their heads be overlaid with gold , casting for them sockets of silver . * He made also a hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of violet , purple , scarlet , and fine twisted linen , with the work of an embroiderer . * And five pillars with their heads , which he covered with gold , and their sockets he cast of brass .
