Shemot 36:1-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Then Bezalel and Oholiav, and kol ish chacham lev, in whom Hashem gave chochmah and tevunah to have da'as to do all manner of work for the Avodas HaKodesh, according to all that Hashem had commanded.

2. And Moshe called Bezalel and Oholiav, and kol ish chochmah lev, in whose lev Hashem had given chochmah, even every one whose lev stirred him up to come unto the work to do it;

3. And they received of Moshe kol haterumah, which the Bnei Yisroel had brought for the work of the Avodas HaKodesh, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him nedavah every boker.

4. And all the chachamim, that wrought all the work of HaKodesh, came every man from his work which they were doing;

5. And they spoke unto Moshe, saying, HaAm bring much more than enough for the Avodah of the work, which Hashem commanded to do.

6. And Moshe gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the machaneh, saying, Let neither ish nor isha make any more work for the terumat HaKodesh. So HaAm were restrained from bringing.

7. For the work had been sufficient for all the work to do it v'hoter.

8. And kol chacham lev among them that wrought the work of the Mishkan made ten curtains of fine linen, twisted with turquoise, and purple, and scarlet wool; with keruvim in a woven artistic design made he [Bezalel] them.

9. The length of each curtain was twenty and eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all of the one size.

10. And he joined five curtains one unto another; and the other five curtains he joined one unto another.

11. And he made loops of turquoise wool on the edge of one curtain at the end of the first set; likewise he made them along the edge of the end curtains of the second set.

12. Fifty loops made he in one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the end curtain in the second set; the loops were to be opposite one another.

13. And he made fifty hooks of zahav, and joined the curtains one unto another with the hooks; so it became Mishkan Echad.

14. And he made curtains of goat hair for the Ohel over the Mishkan; eleven curtains he made them.

15. The length of one curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits was the width of one curtain; the eleven curtains were of the one size.

16. And he joined five curtains into a set, and six curtains into a set.

17. And he made fifty loops upon the uttermost edge of the curtain at the end of the set, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain of the other set.
