1. And Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone who is skilled of heart in whom Yahweh has put wisdom and skill to know and to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary—they will do it, according to all that Yahweh has commanded.”
2. And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and everyone skilled of heart, in whose heart Yahweh had put skill, all whose heart lifted him to come near to the work in order to do it.
3. And they took from Moses all the contributions that the Israelites had brought for the work of the service for the sanctuary in order to do it, and they still brought to him voluntary offerings every morning.
4. And all the skilled workers who were doing all the work for the sanctuary came, each from his work that they were doing.
5. And they said to Moses, saying, “The people are bringing more than enough for the service of the work that Yahweh has commanded to be done.”
6. And Moses commanded, and they proclaimed the message in the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman again make anything for the sanctuary contribution.” And so the people were restrained from bringing.
7. And the material was enough for doing all the work, and it was left over.
8. And all who were skilled of heart among the doers of the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of finely twisted linen and blue and purple and crimson yarns, with cherubim; he made them, the work of a skilled craftsman.
9. The length of the one curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width was four cubits for the one curtain; one measurement was for all the curtains.
10. And he joined five of the curtains one to another, and five curtains he joined one to another.
11. And he made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain, at the end in the set; so he did on the edge of the end curtain in the second set.
12. He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the end of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite one to another.
