* "And Bezalel and Aholiab , and every gifted artisan in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding , to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the sanctuary , shall do according to all that the LORD has commanded ." * Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab , and every gifted artisan in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom , everyone whose heart was stirred , to come and do the work . * And they received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary . So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning . * Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came , each from the work he was doing , * and they spoke to Moses , saying , "The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded us to do ." * So Moses gave a commandment , and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp , saying , "Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary ." And the people were restrained from bringing , * for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done--indeed too much . * Then all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen , and of blue , purple , and scarlet thread ; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them . * The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits , and the width of each curtain four cubits ; the curtains were all the same size . * And he coupled five curtains to one another , and the other five curtains he coupled to one another . * He made loops of blue yarn on the edge of the curtain on the selvedge of one set ; likewise he did on the outer edge of the other curtain of the second set . * Fifty loops he made on one curtain , and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain on the end of the second set ; the loops held one curtain to another . * And he made fifty clasps of gold , and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps , that it might be one tabernacle . * He made curtains of goats ' hair for the tent over the tabernacle ; he made eleven curtains . * The length of each curtain was thirty cubits , and the width of each curtain four cubits ; the eleven curtains were the same size . * He coupled five curtains by themselves and six curtains by themselves . * And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in one set , and fifty loops he made on the edge of the curtain of the second set . * He also made fifty bronze clasps to couple the tent together , that it might be one . * Then he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red , and a covering of badger skins above that . * For the tabernacle he made boards of acacia wood , standing upright . * The length of each board was ten cubits , and the width of each board a cubit and a half . * Each board had two tenons for binding one to another . Thus he made for all the boards of the tabernacle . * And he made boards for the tabernacle , twenty boards for the south side . * Forty sockets of silver he made to go under the twenty boards : two sockets under each of the boards for its two tenons . * And for the other side of the tabernacle , the north side , he made twenty boards * and their forty sockets of silver : two sockets under each of the boards . * For the west side of the tabernacle he made six boards . * He also made two boards for the two back corners of the tabernacle . * And they were coupled at the bottom and coupled together at the top by one ring . Thus he made both of them for the two corners . * So there were eight boards and their sockets--sixteen sockets of silver--two sockets under each of the boards . * And he made bars of acacia wood : five for the boards on one side of the tabernacle , * five bars for the boards on the other side of the tabernacle , and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle on the far side westward . * And he made the middle bar to pass through the boards from one end to the other . * He overlaid the boards with gold , made their rings of gold to be holders for the bars , and overlaid the bars with gold . * And he made a veil of blue , purple , and scarlet thread , and fine woven linen ; it was worked with an artistic design of cherubim . * He made for it four pillars of acacia wood , and overlaid them with gold , with their hooks of gold ; and he cast four sockets of silver for them . * He also made a screen for the tabernacle door , of blue , purple , and scarlet thread , and fine woven linen , made by a weaver , * and its five pillars with their hooks . And he overlaid their capitals and their rings with gold , but their five sockets were bronze .
