1. BEZALEL AND Aholiab and every wisehearted man in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary shall work according to all that the Lord has commanded.
2. And Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab and every able and wisehearted man in whose mind the Lord had put wisdom and ability, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work;
3. And they received from Moses all the freewill offerings which the Israelites had brought for doing the work of the sanctuary, to prepare it for service. And they continued to bring him freewill offerings every morning.
4. And all the wise and able men who were doing the work on the sanctuary came, every man from the work he was doing,
5. And they said to Moses, The people bring much more than enough for doing the work which the Lord commanded to do.
6. So Moses commanded and it was proclaimed in all the camp, Let no man or woman do anything more for the sanctuary offering. So the people were restrained from bringing,
7. For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work and more.
8. And all the able and wisehearted men among them who did the work on the tabernacle made ten curtains of fine twined linen and blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], with cherubim skillfully worked on them.
9. The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and its breadth four cubits; all the curtains were one size.
10. [Bezalel] coupled five curtains one to another and the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
11. And he made loops of blue on the outer edge of the last curtain in the first set; this he did also on the inner edge of the first curtain in the second set.
12. Fifty loops he made in the one curtain and fifty loops in the edge of the curtain which was the second set; the loops were opposite one another.
