Exodus 36

ve'asah vetsalel ve'oholi'av vekhol ish khakham-lev asher natan Adonai khokhmah utevunah bahemmah lada'at la'asot et-kol-melekhet avodat haqqodesh lekhol asher-tsivvah Adonai

Let, then, Bezalel and Oholiab and all the skilled persons whom GOD has endowed with skill and ability to perform expertly all the tasks connected with the service of the sanctuary carry out all that GOD has commanded.

vayyiqra mosheh el-betsalel ve'el-oholi'av ve'el kol-ish khakham-lev asher natan Adonai khokhmah belibbo kol asher nesa'o libbo leqorvah el-hammelakhah la'asot otah

Moses then called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skilled person whom GOD had endowed with skill, everyone who excelled in ability, to undertake the task and carry it out.

vayyiqkhu millifne mosheh et kol-hatterumah asher hevi'u bene yisra'el limlekhet avodat haqqodesh la'asot otah vehem hevi'u elayw od nedavah babboqer babboqer

They took over from Moses all the gifts that the Israelites had brought, to carry out the tasks connected with the service of the sanctuary. But when these continued to bring freewill offerings to him morning after morning,

vayyavo'u kol-hakhakhamim ha'osim et kol-melekhet haqqodesh ish-ish mimmelakhto asher-hemmah osim

every single one of the artisans who were engaged in the tasks of the sanctuary came from the task in which they were engaged,

vayyomeru el-mosheh lemor marbim ha'am lehavi midde ha'avodah lammelakhah asher-tsivvah Adonai la'asot otah

and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed for the tasks entailed in the work that GOD has commanded to be done.”

vayetsav mosheh vayya'aviru qol bammakhaneh lemor ish ve'isha al-ya'asu-od melakhah litrumat haqqodesh vayyikkale ha'am mehavi

Moses thereupon had this proclamation made throughout the camp: “Not a single man or woman should make further effort toward gifts for the sanctuary!” So the people stopped bringing:

vehammelakhah hayetah dayyam lekhol-hammelakhah la'asot otah vehoter

their efforts had been more than enough for all the tasks to be done.

vayya'asu khol-khakham-lev be'ose hammelakhah et-hammishkan eser yeri'ot shesh moshzar utekhelet ve'argaman vetola'at shani keruvim ma'aseh khoshev asah otam

Then all the skilled among those engaged in the work made the tabernacle of ten strips of cloth, which they made of fine twisted linen, blue, purple, and crimson yarns; into these they worked a design of cherubim.

orekh hayeri'ah ha'akhat shemoneh ve'esrim ba'ammah verokhav arba ba'ammah hayeri'ah ha'ekhat middah akhat lekhol-hayeri'ot

The length of each cloth was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each cloth was four cubits, all cloths having the same measurements.

vayekhabber et-khamesh hayeri'ot akhat el-ekhat vekhamesh yeri'ot khibbar akhat el-ekhat

They joined five of the cloths to one another, and they joined the other five cloths to one another.

vayya'as lulot tekhelet al sefat hayeri'ah ha'ekhat miqqatsah bammakhbaret ken asah bisfat hayeri'ah haqqitsonah bammakhberet hashenit

They made loops of blue wool on the edge of the outermost cloth of the one set, and did the same on the edge of the outermost cloth of the other set:

khamishim lula'ot asah bayri'ah ha'ekhat vakhamishim lula'ot asah biqtseh hayeri'ah asher bammakhberet hashenit maqbilot hallula'ot akhat el-ekhat

they made fifty loops on the one cloth, and they made fifty loops on the edge of the end cloth of the other set, the loops being opposite one another.

vayya'as khamishim qarse zahav vayekhabber et-hayeri'ot akhat el-akhat baqqerasim vayehi hammishkan ekhad

And they made fifty gold clasps and coupled the units to one another with the clasps, so that the tabernacle became one whole.

vayya'as yeri'ot izzim le'ohel al-hammishkan ashte-esreh yeri'ot asah otam

They made cloths of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; they made the cloths eleven in number.

orekh hayeri'ah ha'akhat sheloshim ba'ammah ve'arba ammot rokhav hayeri'ah ha'ekhat middah akhat le'ashte esreh yeri'ot

The length of each cloth was thirty cubits, and the width of each cloth was four cubits, the eleven cloths having the same measurements.

vayekhabber et-khamesh hayeri'ot levad ve'et-shesh hayeri'ot levad

They joined five of the cloths by themselves, and the other six cloths by themselves.

vayya'as lula'ot khamishim al sefat hayeri'ah haqqitsonah bammakhbaret vakhamishim lula'ot asah al-sefat hayeri'ah hakhoveret hashenit

They made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost cloth of the one set, and they made fifty loops on the edge of the end cloth of the other set.

vayya'as qarse nekhoshet khamishim lekhabber et-ha'ohel lihyot ekhad

They made fifty copper clasps to couple the tent together so that it might become one whole.

vayya'as mikhseh la'ohel orot elim me'oddamim umikhseh orot tekhashim milma'elah

And they made a covering of tanned ram skins for the tent, and a covering of dolphin skins above.

vayya'as et-haqqerashim lammishkan atse shittim omedim

They made the planks for the Tabernacle of acacia wood, upright.

eser ammot orekh haqqaresh ve'ammah vakhatsi ha'ammah rokhav haqqeresh ha'ekhad

The length of each plank was ten cubits, the width of each plank a cubit and a half.

shete yadot laqqeresh ha'ekhad meshullavot akhat el-ekhat ken asah lekhol qarshe hammishkan

Each plank had two tenons, parallel to each other; they did the same with all the planks of the Tabernacle.

vayya'as et-haqqerashim lammishkan esrim qerashim lifat negev temanah

Of the planks of the Tabernacle, they made twenty planks for the south side,

ve'arba'im adne-khesef asah takhat esrim haqqerashim shene adanim takhat-haqqeresh ha'ekhad lishte yedotayw ushene adanim takhat-haqqeresh ha'ekhad lishte yedotayw

making forty silver sockets under the twenty planks, two sockets under one plank for its two tenons and two sockets under each following plank for its two tenons;

uletsela hammishkan hashenit lifat tsafon asah esrim qerashim

and for the other side wall of the Tabernacle, the north side, twenty planks,

ve'arba'im adnehem kasef shene adanim takhat haqqeresh ha'ekhad ushene adanim takhat haqqeresh ha'ekhad

with their forty silver sockets, two sockets under one plank and two sockets under each following plank.

uleyarkete hammishkan yammah asah shisha qerashim

And for the rear of the Tabernacle, to the west, they made six planks;

ushene qerashim asah limqutsot hammishkan bayyarkhatayim

and they made two planks for the corners of the Tabernacle at the rear.

vehayu to'amim millemattah veyakhdav yihyu tammim el-rosho el-hattabba'at ha'ekhat ken asah lishnehem lishne hammiqtso'ot

They matched at the bottom, but terminated as one at the top into one ring; they did so with both of them at the two corners.

vehayu shemonah qerashim ve'adnehem kesef shisha asar adanim shene adanim shene adanim takhat haqqeresh ha'ekhad

Thus there were eight planks with their sockets of silver: sixteen sockets, two under each plank.

vayya'as berikhe atse shittim khamisha leqarshe tsela-hammishkan ha'ekhat

They made bars of acacia wood, five for the planks of the one side wall of the Tabernacle,

vakhamisha verikhim leqarshe tsela-hammishkan hashenit vakhamisha verikhim leqarshe hammishkan layyarkhatayim yammah

five bars for the planks of the other side wall of the Tabernacle, and five bars for the planks of the wall of the Tabernacle at the rear, to the west;

vayya'as et-habberiakh hattikhon livroakh betokh haqqerashim min-haqqatseh el-haqqatseh

they made the center bar to run, halfway up the planks, from end to end.

ve'et-haqqerashim tsippah zahav ve'et-tabbe'otam asah zahav battim labberikhim vayetsaf et-habberikhim zahav

They overlaid the planks with gold, and made their rings of gold, as holders for the bars; and they overlaid the bars with gold.

vayya'as et-happarokhet tekhelet ve'argaman vetola'at shani veshesh moshzar ma'aseh khoshev asah otah keruvim

They made the curtain of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, working into it a design of cherubim.

vayya'as lah arba'ah ammude shittim vayetsappem zahav vavehem zahav vayyitsoq lahem arba'ah adne-khasef

They made for it four posts of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold, with their hooks of gold; and they cast for them four silver sockets.

vayya'as masakh lefetakh ha'ohel tekhelet ve'argaman vetola'at shani veshesh moshzar ma'aseh roqem

They made the screen for the entrance of the Tent, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine twisted linen, done in embroidery;

ve'et-ammudayw khamisha ve'et-vavehem vetsippah rashehem vakhashuqehem zahav ve'adnehem khamisha nekhoshet

and five posts for it with their hooks. They overlaid their tops and their bands with gold; but the five sockets were of copper.
