And the lords brought Onyx stones and
setstones for the Ephod, and for the breastlap, and spice and oil: both
for the lights and for the anointing oil and for the sweet cense. And
the children of Israel brought willing offerings unto the LORD, both
men and women: as many as their hearts made them willing to bring, for
all manner works which the LORD had commanded to make by the hand of
Moses. And Moses said unto the children of Israel: behold, the LORD
hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe
of Iuda, and hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom,
understanding and knowledge, even in all manner work, and to find out
curious works, to work in gold, silver and brass: and with graving of
stones to set, and with carving in wood, and to work in all manner of
subtle works. And he hath put in his heart the grace to teach: both him
and Ahaliab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan hath he filled
with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of graven work: they are also
broiderers and workers with needle, in Iacinth, scarlet, purple and
byss, and are weavers that can make all manner work, and can devise
subtle works.
Chapter .xxxvi.
And Bezaleel wrought and Ahaliab and all wise hearted men to whom the
LORD had given wisdom and understanding, to know how to work all manner
work for the holy service, in all that the LORD commanded. And Moses
called for Bezaleel, Ahaliab and all the wise hearted men in whose
hearts the LORD had put wisdom, even as many as their hearts couraged
to come unto the work to work it. And they received of Moses all the
heave offerings which the children of Israel had brought for the work
of the holy service to make it withal. And they brought beside that,
willing offerings every morning. And all the wise men that wrought all
the holy work, came every man from his work which they made, and spake
unto Moses saying: the people bring too much and above that is enough
to serve for the work which the LORD hath commanded to make. And then
Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed thorowout
the host saying: see that neither man nor woman prepare any more work
for the holy heave offering, and so the people were forbidden to bring:
for the stuff they had, was sufficient for them unto all the work, to
make it and too much. And all the wise hearted men among them that
wrought in the work of the habitation made: even ten curtains of twined
byss, Iacinth, scarlet and purple, and made them full of Cherubins with
broidered work. The length of one curtain was twenty eight cubits and
the breadth four and were all of one size. And they coupled five
curtains by them selves, and other five by them selves. And they made
fifty loops of Iacinth along by the edge of the utmost curtain, even in
the selvedge of the coupling curtain: and likewise they made on the
side of the utmost coupling curtain on, the other side, fifty loops
they made in the one curtain, and fifty in the edge of the coupling
