Exodus 36:1-38 King James Version with Strong's Concordance (STRONG)

1 Then wrought H6213 Bezaleel H1212 and Aholiab, H171 and every wise H2450 hearted H3820 man, H376 in whom H1992 the LORD H3068 put H5414 wisdom H2451 and understanding H8394 to know H3045 how to work H6213 all manner of work H4399 for the service H5656 of the sanctuary, H6944 according to all that the LORD H3068 had commanded. H6680

2 And Moses H4872 called H7121 Bezaleel H1212 and Aholiab, H171 and every wise H2450 hearted H3820 man, H376 in whose heart H3820 the LORD H3068 had put H5414 wisdom, H2451 even every one whose heart H3820 stirred him up H5375 to come H7126 unto the work H4399 to do H6213 it:

3 And they received H3947 of H6440 Moses H4872 all the offering, H8641 which the children H1121 of Israel H3478 had brought H935 for the work H4399 of the service H5656 of the sanctuary, H6944 to make H6213 it withal. And they brought H935 yet unto him free offerings H5071 every morning. H1242

4 And all the wise men, H2450 that wrought H6213 all the work H4399 of the sanctuary, H6944 came H935 every man H376 from his work H4399 which they made; H6213

5 And they spake H559 unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 The people H5971 bring H935 much more H7235 than enough H1767 for the service H5656 of the work, H4399 which the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 to make. H6213

6 And Moses H4872 gave commandment, H6680 and they caused it to be proclaimed H6963 H5674 throughout the camp, H4264 saying, H559 Let neither man H376 nor woman H802 make H6213 any more work H4399 for the offering H8641 of the sanctuary. H6944 So the people H5971 were restrained H3607 from bringing. H935

7 For the stuff H4399 they had was sufficient H1767 for all the work H4399 to make H6213 it, and too much. H3498

8 And every wise H2450 hearted man H3820 among them that wrought H6213 the work H4399 of the tabernacle H4908 made H6213 ten H6235 curtains H3407 of fine twined H7806 linen, H8336 and blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet: H8144 H8438 with cherubims H3742 of cunning H2803 work H4639 made H6213 he them.

9 The length H753 of one H259 curtain H3407 was twenty H6242 and eight H8083 cubits, H520 and the breadth H7341 of one H259 curtain H3407 four H702 cubits: H520 the curtains H3407 were all of one H259 size. H4060

10 And he coupled H2266 the five H2568 curtains H3407 one H259 unto another: H259 and the other five H2568 curtains H3407 he coupled H2266 one H259 unto another. H259

11 And he made H6213 loops H3924 of blue H8504 on the edge H8193 of one H259 curtain H3407 from the selvedge H7098 in the coupling: H4225 likewise he made H6213 in the uttermost H7020 side H8193 of another curtain, H3407 in the coupling H4225 of the second. H8145

12 Fifty H2572 loops H3924 made H6213 he in one H259 curtain, H3407 and fifty H2572 loops H3924 made H6213 he in the edge H7097 of the curtain H3407 which was in the coupling H4225 of the second: H8145 the loops H3924 held H6901 one H259 curtain to another. H259

13 And he made H6213 fifty H2572 taches H7165 of gold, H2091 and coupled H2266 the curtains H3407 one H259 unto another H259 with the taches: H7165 so it became one H259 tabernacle. H4908

14 And he made H6213 curtains H3407 of goats' H5795 hair for the tent H168 over the tabernacle: H4908 eleven H6249 H6240 curtains H3407 he made H6213 them.

15 The length H753 of one H259 curtain H3407 was thirty H7970 cubits, H520 and four H702 cubits H520 was the breadth H7341 of one H259 curtain: H3407 the eleven H6249 H6240 curtains H3407 were of one H259 size. H4060

16 And he coupled H2266 five H2568 curtains H3407 by themselves, and six H8337 curtains H3407 by themselves.

17 And he made H6213 fifty H2572 loops H3924 upon the uttermost H7020 edge H8193 of the curtain H3407 in the coupling, H4225 and fifty H2572 loops H3924 made H6213 he upon the edge H8193 of the curtain H3407 which coupleth H2279 the second. H8145

18 And he made H6213 fifty H2572 taches H7165 of brass H5178 to couple H2266 the tent H168 together, H2266 that it might be one. H259

19 And he made H6213 a covering H4372 for the tent H168 of rams' H352 skins H5785 dyed red, H119 and a covering H4372 of badgers' H8476 skins H5785 above H4605 that.

20 And he made H6213 boards H7175 for the tabernacle H4908 of shittim H7848 wood, H6086 standing up. H5975

21 The length H753 of a board H7175 was ten H6235 cubits, H520 and the breadth H7341 of a board H7175 one H259 cubit H520 and a half. H2677

22 One H259 board H7175 had two H8147 tenons, H3027 equally distant H7947 one H259 from H413 another: H259 thus did he make H6213 for all the boards H7175 of the tabernacle. H4908

23 And he made H6213 boards H7175 for the tabernacle; H4908 twenty H6242 boards H7175 for the south H5045 side H6285 southward: H8486

24 And forty H705 sockets H134 of silver H3701 he made H6213 under the twenty H6242 boards; H7175 two H8147 sockets H134 under one H259 board H7175 for his two H8147 tenons, H3027 and two H8147 sockets H134 under another H259 board H7175 for his two H8147 tenons. H3027

25 And for the other H8145 side H6763 of the tabernacle, H4908 which is toward the north H6828 corner, H6285 he made H6213 twenty H6242 boards, H7175

29 And they were coupled H8382 beneath, H4295 and coupled H8382 together H3162 at the head H7218 thereof, to one H259 ring: H2885 thus he did H6213 to both H8147 of them in both H8147 the corners. H4740

30 And there were eight H8083 boards; H7175 and their sockets H134 were sixteen H8337 H6240 sockets H134 of silver, H3701 under every H259 board H7175 two H8147 H8147 sockets. H134 H134

31 And he made H6213 bars H1280 of shittim H7848 wood; H6086 five H2568 for the boards H7175 of the one H259 side H6763 of the tabernacle, H4908

33 And he made H6213 the middle H8484 bar H1280 to shoot H1272 through H8432 the boards H7175 from the one end H7097 to the other. H7097

34 And he overlaid H6823 the boards H7175 with gold, H2091 and made H6213 their rings H2885 of gold H2091 to be places H1004 for the bars, H1280 and overlaid H6823 the bars H1280 with gold. H2091

Commentary on Exodus 36 Keil & Delitzsch Commentary


Verse 2-3

Moses then summoned the master-builders named, and all who were skilled in art, “ every one whom his heart lifted up to come near to the work to do it ” (i.e., who felt himself stirred up in heart to take part in the work), and handed over to them the heaven-offering presented by the people for that purpose, whilst the children of Israel still continued bringing freewill-offerings every morning.


Verses 4-6

Then the wise workmen came, every one from his work that they were making, and said to Moses, “ Much make the people to bring, more than suffices for the labour (the finishing, as in Exodus 27:19) of the work, ” i.e., they are bringing more than will be wanted for carrying out the work (the מן in מדּי is comparative); whereupon Moses let the cry go through the camp, i.e., had proclamation made, “No one is to make any more property ( מלאכה as in Exodus 22:7, Exodus 22:10, cf. Genesis 33:14) for a holy heave-offering,” i.e., to prepare anything more from his own property to offer for the building of the sanctuary; and with this he put a stop to any further offerings.


Verse 7

And there was enough ( דּיּם their sufficiency, i.e., the requisite supply for the different things to be made) of the property for every work to make it, and over ” (lit., and to leave some over). By this liberal contribution of freewill gifts, for the work commanded by the Lord, the people proved their willingness to uphold their covenant relationship with Jehovah their God.


Verses 8-38

Ex 36:8-38:20. Execution of the Work. - Preparation of the dwelling-place: viz., the hangings and covering (Exodus 36:8-19, as in Exodus 26:1-14); the wooden boards and bolts (Exodus 36:20-34, as in Ex 26:15-30); the two curtains, with the pillars, hooks, and rods that supported them (Exodus 36:35-38, as in Exodus 26:31-37). As these have all been already explained, the only thing remaining to be noticed here is, that the verbs עשׂה in Exodus 36:8, ויחבּר in Exodus 36:10, etc., are in the third person singular with an indefinite subject, corresponding to the German man (the French on ).
