Exodus 36 — ENGLXXUP

36 Verse 1 And Bezalel wrought, and Oholiab and everyone wise in understanding, to whom was given wisdom and knowledge, to understand to do all the works according to the holy offices, according to all things which the Lord appointed. ^{Verse 2} And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and all that had wisdom, to whom God gave knowledge in their heart, and all who were freely willing to come forward to the works, to perform them. ^{Verse 3} And they received from Moses all the offerings, which the children of Israel brought for all the works of the sanctuary to do them; and they continued to receive the gifts brought, from those who brought them in the morning. ^{Verse 4} And there came all the wise men who wrought the works of the sanctuary, each according to his own work, which they wrought. ^{Verse 5} And one said to Moses, The people bring an abundance too great in proportion to all the works which the Lord has appointed them to do. ^{Verse 6} And Moses commanded, and proclaimed in the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman any longer labor for the offerings of the sanctuary; and the people were restrained from bringing anymore. ^{Verse 7} And they had materials sufficient for making the furniture, and they left some besides. ^{Verse 8} And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses. ^{Verse 9} And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. ^{Verse 10} And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work; ^{Verse 11} shoulder pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another. ^{Verse 12} They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses; ^{Verse 13} and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel; ^{Verse 14} and he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses. ^{Verse 15} And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. ^{Verse 16} They made the oracle square and double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span—double. ^{Verse 17} And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald; ^{Verse 18} and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper; ^{Verse 19} and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst; ^{Verse 20} and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold. ^{Verse 21} And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes. ^{Verse 22} And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold, ^{Verse 23} and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings. And they put the two golden rings on both the upper corners of the oracle; ^{Verse 24} and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, ^{Verse 25} and the two wreaths into the two couplings. And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite each other in front. ^{Verse 26} And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within. ^{Verse 27} And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connection of the ephod. ^{Verse 28} And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with a string of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses. ^{Verse 29} And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue. ^{Verse 30} And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be rent. ^{Verse 31} And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. ^{Verse 32} And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates: ^{Verse 33} a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses. ^{Verse 34} And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons, ^{Verse 35} and the tires of fine linen, and the miter of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined; ^{Verse 36} and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses. ^{Verse 37} And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold; and he wrote upon it graven letters as of a seal, Holiness to the Lord. ^{Verse 38} And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the miter above, as the Lord commanded Moses.
