Douay-Rheims :: World English Bible Catholic

- Kapitel 36 -

1
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.
2
And when Moses had called them, and every skillful man, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and such as of their own accord had offered themselves to the making of the work,
3
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.
4
Whereupon the workmen being constrained to come,
5
Said to Moses: The people offereth more than is necessary.
6
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,
7
Because the things that were offered did suffice, and were too much.

The Ten Curtains for the Tabernacle

(Exodus 26:1–6)
8
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:
9
The length of one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth four: all the curtains were of the same size.
10
And he joined five curtains, one to another, and the other five he coupled one to another.
11
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,
12
That the loops might meet on against another, and might be joined each with the other.
13
Whereupon also he cast fifty rings of gold, that might catch the loops of the curtains, and they might be made one tabernacle.

The Eleven Curtains of Goat Hair

(Exodus 26:7–14)
14
He made also eleven curtains of goats’ hair, to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
15
One curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits broad: all the curtains were of one measure.
16
Five of which he joined apart, and the other six apart.
17
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.
18
And fifty buckles of brass wherewith the roof might be knit together, that of all the curtains there might be made one covering.
19
He made also a cover for the tabernacle of rams’ skins dyed red: and another cover over that of violet skins.

The Frames and Bases

(Exodus 26:15–30)
20
He made also the boards of the tabernacle of setim wood standing.
21
The length of one board was ten cubits: and the breadth was one cubit and a half.
22
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.
23
Of which twenty were at the south side southward,
24
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.
25
At that side also of the tabernacle, that looketh toward the north, he made twenty boards.
26
With forty sockets of silver, two sockets for every board.
27
But against the west, to wit, at that side of the tabernacle, which looketh to the sea, he made six boards,
28
And two others at each corner of the tabernacle behind:
29
Which were also joined from beneath unto the top, and went together into one joint. Thus he did on both sides at the corners:
30
So there were in all eight boards and they had sixteen sockets of silver, to wit, two sockets under every board.
31
He made also bars of setim wood, five to hold together the boards of one side of the tabernacle,
32
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.
33
He made also another bar, that might come by the midst of the boards from corner to corner.
34
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.

The Veil

(Exodus 26:31–35)
35
He made also a veil of violet, and purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, varied and distinguished with embroidery:
36
And four pillars of setim wood, which with their heads be overlaid with gold, casting for them sockets of silver.

The Curtain for the Entrance

(Exodus 26:36–37)
37
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.
38
And five pillars with their heads, which he covered with gold, and their sockets he cast of brass.
1
Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man, in whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that the LORD has commanded.”
2
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.
3
They received from Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, with which to make it. They kept bringing free will offerings to him every morning.
4
All the wise men, who performed all the work of the sanctuary, each came from his work which he did.
5
They spoke to Moses, saying, “The people have brought much more than enough for the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make.”
6
Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman make anything else for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing.
7
For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and too much.

The Ten Curtains for the Tabernacle

(Exodus 26:1–6)
8
All the wise-hearted men among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet. They made them with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman.
9
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,(a) and the width of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains had one measure.
10
He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11
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 outermost in the second coupling.
12
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 to one another.
13
He made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was a unit.

The Eleven Curtains of Goat Hair

(Exodus 26:7–14)
14
He made curtains of goats’ hair for a covering over the tabernacle. He made them eleven curtains.
15
The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the width of each curtain. The eleven curtains had one measure.
16
He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
17
He made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the coupling, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second coupling.
18
He made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together, that it might be a unit.
19
He made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sea cow hides above.

The Frames and Bases

(Exodus 26:15–30)
20
He made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.
21
Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the width of each board.
22
Each board had two tenons, joined to one another. He made all the boards of the tabernacle this way.
23
He made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.
24
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.
25
For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards
26
and their forty sockets of silver: two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
27
For the far part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
28
He made two boards for the corners of the tabernacle in the far part.
29
They were double beneath, and in the same way they were all the way to its top to one ring. He did this to both of them in the two corners.
30
There were eight boards and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets—under every board two sockets.
31
He made bars of acacia wood: five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
32
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.
33
He made the middle bar to pass through in the middle of the boards from the one end to the other.
34
He overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold as places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.

The Veil

(Exodus 26:31–35)
35
He made the veil of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim. He made it the work of a skillful workman.
36
He made four pillars of acacia for it, and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold. He cast four sockets of silver for them.

The Curtain for the Entrance

(Exodus 26:36–37)
37
He made a screen for the door of the tent, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer;
38
and the five pillars of it with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold, and their five sockets were of bronze.
