2. And when Moses had called them and every man of learning, to whom the Lord had given wisdom, and who, of their own accord, had offered themselves in order to accomplish this work,
3. he handed over to them all the donations of the sons of Israel. And while they were pursuing this work, the people offered what they had vowed each day, in the morning.
4. The artisans were compelled by this to go
5. to Moses and to say, "The people offer more than is needed."
6. Therefore, Moses ordered this to be recited, with a voice of proclamation: "Let neither man nor woman offer anything further for the work of the Sanctuary." And so they ceased from offering gifts,
7. because what was offered was sufficient and was more than an abundance.
8. And all those who were wise of heart, in order to accomplish the work of the tabernacle, made ten curtains of fine twisted linen, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with diverse workmanship by the art of embroidery.
9. Each of these was twenty-eight cubits in length, and in width, four. All the curtains were of one measure.
10. And he joined five curtains to one another, and the other five he coupled to one another.
11. He also made loops of hyacinth along the edge of one curtain on both sides, and similarly along the edge of the other curtain,
12. so that the loops might meet against one another and might be joined together.
13. For these, he also cast fifty gold rings, which would retain the loops of the curtains and so make the tabernacle one.
14. He also made eleven canopies from the hair of goats, in order to cover the roof of the tabernacle:
15. one canopy held in length thirty cubits, and in width four cubits. All the canopies were of one measure.
