So Bezalel and Oholiab went to work, along with every skilled craftsman to whom the LORD had given wisdom and understanding to know how to carry out all the work of building the sanctuary, doing everything just as the LORD had commanded.
Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled craftsman in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom—everyone whose heart moved him to come forward and take up the work.
They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought for the work of building the sanctuary. And still the people kept bringing him freewill offerings, morning after morning.
So all the skilled workers who were doing the work of the sanctuary left their tasks
and came to Moses, saying, "The people are bringing far more than is needed for the work the LORD commanded to be done."
Then Moses gave an order, and it was proclaimed throughout the camp: "No man or woman is to bring anything more as an offering for the sanctuary." So the people were kept from bringing more,
for what they had already brought was more than enough to complete all the work.
All the skilled workers among them made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim woven into them by a master craftsman.
Each curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide; all the curtains were the same size.
He made loops of blue yarn along the edge of the end curtain in the first set, and did the same along the edge of the end curtain in the second set.
He made fifty loops on the one curtain and fifty loops on the end curtain of the second set, so that the loops lined up with each other.
He made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together, so that the tabernacle was a single whole.
He made curtains of goat hair for the tent over the tabernacle—eleven curtains in all.
Each curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide; all eleven curtains were the same size.
He made fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain of the first set and fifty loops along the edge of the end curtain of the second set.
Then he made a covering for the tent of ram skins dyed red, and over that a covering of fine leather.
He made upright frames of acacia wood for the tabernacle.
Each frame was ten cubits long and a cubit and a half wide,
with two tenons joined to each other. He made all the frames of the tabernacle this way.
and forty silver bases to go under them—two bases under each frame, one for each of its two tenons.
For the other side of the tabernacle, the north side, he made twenty frames
and two frames for the corners at the rear.
These were doubled at the bottom and joined together at the top with a single ring. He made both corner frames the same way.
So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases, two under each frame.
five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames at the rear of the tabernacle, on the west.
He made the middle crossbar to run from end to end, halfway up the frames.
He overlaid the frames with gold and made gold rings to hold the crossbars, and he overlaid the crossbars with gold as well.
He made the veil of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, with cherubim worked into it by a master craftsman.
For it he made four posts of acacia wood, overlaid them with gold, made gold hooks for them, and cast four silver bases for them.
He made a screen for the entrance to the tent of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer,
with five posts and their hooks. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and made their five bases of bronze.
