21 These are the numbered things of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of
the testimony, which were numbered at Moses’ command for the service of the
Levites in the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all
that YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
23 And with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver
and a craftsman, and an embroiderer in blue and in purple and in crimson and in
bleached linen.
24 All the gold used was for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary; and it
was the gold of the wave offering, twenty nine talents and seven hundred and
thirty shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 And the silver of the numbered ones of the assembly was a hundred talents,
and a thousand seven hundred and seventy five shekels, by the shekel of the
sanctuary,
26 a bekah for a head, half a shekel, by the shekel of the holy place, for
everyone passing over to those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upward,
for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty persons.
27 And the hundred talents of the silver were for casting the sockets of the
sanctuary, and for the sockets of the veil, a hundred sockets for a hundred
talents, a talent for a socket.
28 And the thousand, seven hundred and seventy five shekels he made into hooks
for the pillars; and he overlaid their capitals and joined them.
29 And the copper of the wave offering was seventy talents and two thousand and
four hundred shekels.
30 And he made with it the sockets of the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the copper altar and its copper grating, and all the vessels
of the altar.
31 And the sockets of the court all around, and the sockets of the opening of
the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all of the pins of the court
all around were copper.
*~Exodus Chapter 39 ~*
1 And from the blue and the purple and the crimson they made woven garments for
serving in the sanctuary. And they made the holy garments which were for Aaron,
as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and crimson, and twined
bleached linen.
3 And they beat out sheets of gold, and cut threads to work into the midst of
the blue, and into the midst of the purple, and into the midst of the crimson,
and into the midst of the bleached linen, the work of an artisan.
4 They made shoulderpieces for it, joined together; it was joined on its two
ends.
5 And its fastening band was on it; it was of it, like its work, gold, blue, and
purple, and crimson, and twined bleached linen, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
6 And they made stones of onyx set in plaited work of gold, engraved with
engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
7 And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, memorial stones for the
sons of Israel, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
8 And he made the breast pocket, a work of an artisan, like the work of the
ephod: gold, blue, purple, and crimson, and twined bleached linen;
9 it was square. They made the breast pocket double; its length a span and its
width a span, doubled.
10 And they set it in four rows of stones: one row, the first row: a ruby, a
topaz and a carbuncle.
11 The second row: a turquoise, a sapphire and a jasper.
12 And the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the fourth row: a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper; these set in their
settings, plaited work of gold.
14 And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Israel; they were
twelve according to their names, the engravings of a signet, each according to
his name, for the twelve tribes.
15 And they made cords of chains on the breast pocket, a work of pure gold
cords.
16 And they made two gold plaitings and two golden rings; and they put the two
rings on the two ends of the breast pocket.
17 And they put the two golden cords on the two rings, on the ends of the breast
pocket.
18 And they put the two ends of the two cords on the two plaitings. And they put
them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, on the front of its face.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and they put them on the two ends of the
breast pocket, on its edge, on the inward side of the ephod.
20 And they made two rings of gold, and they put them on the two shoulderpieces
of the ephod from beneath, on the front of its face, near its joining; from
above to the band of the ephod.
21 And they fastened the breast pocket from its rings to the rings of the ephod
with a blue ribbon, to be on the ephod band, that the breast pocket not move
itself from the ephod, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
22 And he made the robe of the ephod, skilled work, all of blue.
23 And the mouth of the robe in its middle was like the mouth of a corselet, the
edge of its mouth all around, that it might not be torn.
24 And they made on the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and
crimson, bleached, twined linen.
25 And they made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells in the midst of the
pomegranates, all around on the hem of the robe, all around, among the
pomegranates,
26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate on the hem of the robe all
around for ministering, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
27 And they made the tunics of bleached linen, skilled work, for Aaron and for
his sons;
28 also the miter was of bleached linen, and the turban of the caps of bleached
linen, and the breeches of bleached, twined linen.
29 And the girdle was of twined bleached linen, and blue, and purple, and
crimson, the work of an embroiderer, even as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and they wrote on it
the writing of the engravings of a signet: HOLINESS TO YAHUVEH.
31 And they put a blue ribbon on it, to fasten it on the miter from above, as
YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
32 And all the work of the tabernacle of the congregation was finished. And the
sons of Israel did according to all which YAHUVEH commanded Moses; so they did.
33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its vessels, its
hooks, its boards, it bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
34 and the cover of rams’ skins dyed red, and the cover of Tachash skins, and
the veil of the covering,
35 the ark of the testimony, and its poles, and the mercyseat,
36 the table and all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presence;
37 the pure Menorah, its lamps the lamps of arrangement and all its vessels, and
the oil of the light,
38 and the altar of gold, and the oil of anointing, and the incense of fragrant
spices, and the screen of the door of the tabernacle,
39 the copper altar and copper grating which was to it, its poles and all its
vessels, the laver and its base,
40 the screen of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the screen for the
opening of the court, its cords and its pins, and all the vessels of the service
of the tabernacle for the tabernacle of the congregation,
41 the woven garments for serving in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron
the priest, and the garments of his sons for serving as priests.
42 According to all which YAHUVEH commanded Moses, so did the sons of Israel,
all the work.
43 And Moses saw all the work. And, behold, they had done it; as YAHUVEH
commanded Moses, so they had done. And Moses blessed them.
*~Exodus Chapter 40 ~*
1 And YAHUVEH spoke to Moses, saying,
2 On the first day of the month, on the first of the month, you shall raise up
the tent of the tabernacle of the congregation.
3 And you shall put there the ark of testimony. And you shall cover the ark with
the veil.
4 And you shall bring in the table and set in order its arrangement. And you
shall bring in the Menorah and set up its lamps.
5 And you shall put the altar of gold for incense before the ark of testimony.
And you shall set up the screen of the door of the tabernacle.
6 And you shall set up the altar of burnt offerings before the door of the tent
of the tabernacle of the congregation.
7 And you shall put the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the
altar. And you shall put water there.
8 And you shall set up the court all around. And you shall place the screen of
the opening of the court.
9 And you shall take the oil of anointing, and you shall anoint the tabernacle
and all that is in it. And you shall sanctify it and all its vessels. And it
shall become holy.1
10 And you shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its vessels. And you
shall sanctify it and the altar shall become most holy.
11 And you shall anoint the laver and its base, and you shall sanctify it.
12 And you shall cause to draw near Aaron and his sons to the door of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And you shall wash them with water.
13 And you shall clothe Aaron with the holy garments. And you shall anoint him
and sanctify him. And he shall serve as priest to Me.
14 And you shall cause his sons to draw near. And you shall clothe them with
tunics.
15 And you shall anoint them as you anointed their father. And they shall serve
as priests to Me. And their anointing shall be for an everlasting priesthood for
their generations.
16 And Moses did so, according to all that YAHUVEH commanded him; so he did.
17 And it happened in the first month, in the second year, on the first of the
month, the tabernacle was raised up.3
18 And Moses raised up the tabernacle, and he gave its sockets, and he set up
its boards, and he gave its bars, and he raised up its pillars.
19 And he spread out the tent over the tabernacle. And he put the cover of the
tent over it from above, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
20 And he took and gave the testimony into the ark. And he put the poles on the
ark. And he gave the mercyseat on the ark from above.
21 And he caused the ark to go in into the tabernacle. And he placed the veil of
the covering, and he covered over the ark of testimony, as YAHUVEH commanded
Moses.
22 And he gave the table into the tabernacle of the congregation, on the side of
the tabernacle, northward outside the veil.
23 And he set the bread in order on it before the face of YAHUVEH, as YAHUVEH
commanded Moses.
24 And he put the Menorah in the tabernacle of the congregation, opposite the
table, on the side of the tabernacle southward.
25 And he set up the lamps before YAHUVEH, as YAHUVEH had commanded Moses.
26 And he set up the altar of gold in the tabernacle of the congregation, before
the veil.
27 And he burned on it incense of fragrant spices, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
28 And he set up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
29 And he put the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tent of the
tabernacle of the congregation. And he offered up on it the burnt offering and
the food offering, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
30 And he put the laver between the tabernacle of the congregation and the
altar. And he gave there water for washing.
31 And from it Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.
32 As they came into the tabernacle of the congregation, and as they drew near
to the altar, they would wash, as YAHUVEH commanded Moses.
33 And he raised up the court all around the tabernacle and the altar. And he
gave the screen of the opening of the court. And Moses finished the work.
34 And the cloud covered the tabernacle of the congregation; and the glory of
YAHUVEH filled the tabernacle.1
35 And Moses was not able to come into the tabernacle of the congregation
because the cloud dwelt on it. And the glory of YAHUVEH filled the tabernacle.2
36 And as the cloud went up from the tabernacle, the sons of Israel pulled up
stakes in all their travels.
37 And if the cloud did not go up, then they did not pull up stakes until the
day it went up. (Num 9:17-23)
38 For the cloud of YAHUVEH was on the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by
night, before the eyes of all the house of Israel in all their pulling up of
stakes.
