1
And Bezalel and Oholiab shall work, and every wise-hearted man, in whom Jehovah hath put wisdom and understanding to know how to work all the work for the service of the sanctuary, according to all that Jehovah hath commanded.
2
And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab, and every wise-hearted man, in whose heart Jehovah had put wisdom, even every one whose heart stirred him up to come unto the work to do it:
3
and they received of Moses all the offering which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, wherewith to make it. And they brought yet unto him freewill-offerings every morning.
4
And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought;
5
and they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which Jehovah commanded to make.
6
And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.
7
For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
8
And all the wise-hearted men among them that wrought the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman,
9
Bezalel made them.
10
The length of each curtain was eight and twenty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits: all the curtains had one measure.
11
And he coupled five curtains one to another: and
12
the other five curtains he coupled one to another.
13
And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain from the selvedge in the coupling: likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the second coupling.
14
Fifty loops made he in the one curtain, and fifty loops made he in the edge of the curtain that was in the second coupling: the loops were opposite one to another.
15
And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to another with the clasps: so the tabernacle was one.
16
And he made curtains of goats’
17
hair for a tent over the tabernacle: eleven curtains he made them.
18
The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and four cubits the breadth of each curtain: the eleven curtains had one measure.
19
And he coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.
20
And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outmost in the coupling, and fifty loops made he upon the edge of the curtain which was
21
outmost in the second coupling.
22
And he made fifty clasps of brass to couple the tent together, that it might be one.
23
And he made a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of sealskins above.
24
And he made the boards for the tabernacle, of acacia wood, standing up.
25
Ten cubits was the length of a board, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each board.
26
Each board had two tenons, joined one to another: thus did he make for all the boards of the tabernacle.
27
And he made the boards for the tabernacle: twenty boards for the south side southward;
28
and he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards; two sockets under one board for its two tenons, and two sockets under another board for its two tenons.
29
And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards,
30
and their forty sockets of silver; two sockets under one board, and two sockets under another board.
31
And for the hinder part of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.
32
And two boards made he for the corners of the tabernacle in the hinder part.
33
And they were double beneath; and in like manner they were entire unto the top thereof unto one ring: thus he did to both of them in the two corners.
34
And there were eight boards, and their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; under every board two sockets.
35
And he made bars of acacia wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,
36
and five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle for the hinder part westward.
37
And he made the middle bar to pass through in the midst of the boards from the one end to the other.
38
And he overlaid the boards with gold, and made their rings of gold for places for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.
39
And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubim, the work of the skilful workman, made he it.
40
And he made thereunto four pillars of acacia, and overlaid them with gold: their hooks were of gold; and he cast for them four sockets of silver.
41
And he made a screen for the door of the Tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer;
42
and the five pillars of it with their hooks: and he overlaid their capitals and their fillets with gold; and their five sockets were of brass.
43
And Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood: two cubits and a half was the length of it, and a cubit and a half the breadth of it, and a cubit and a half the height of it.

8
And he made the breastplate of artistic work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.

11
and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12
and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;

And they bound the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with lace of blue, that it might be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22
And he made the cloak of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
23
and the opening of the cloak in its middle, as the opening of a coat of mail; a binding was round about the opening, that it should not rend.
24
And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.
25
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, in the skirts of the cloak, round about, between the pomegranates:
26
a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about, for service; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
27
And they made the vests of byssus of woven work, for Aaron, and for his sons;

De hyacintho vero et purpura, vermiculo ac bysso fecit vestes, quibus indueretur Aaron quando ministrabat in sanctis, sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi.
2
Fecit igitur superhumerale de auro, hyacintho, et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta,
3
opere polymitario, inciditque bracteas aureas, et extenuavit in fila, ut possent torqueri cum priorum colorum subtegmine,
4
duasque oras sibi invicem copulatas in utroque latere summitatum,
5
et balteum ex eisdem coloribus, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
6
Paravit et duos lapides onychinos, astrictos et inclusos auro, et sculptos arte gemmaria, nominibus filiorum Israel:
7
posuitque eos in lateribus superhumeralis in monimentum filiorum Israel, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
8
Fecit et rationale opere polymito iuxta opus superhumeralis, ex auro, hyacintho, purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta:
9
quadrangulum, duplex, mensuræ palmi.
10
Et posuit in eo gemmarum ordines quattuor. In primo versu erat sardius, topazius, smaragdus.
11
In secundo, carbunculus, sapphirus, et iaspis.
12
In tertio, ligurius, achates, et amethystus.
13
In quarto, chrysolithus, onychinus, et beryllus, circumdati et inclusi auro per ordines suos.
14
Ipsique lapides duodecim, sculpti erant nominibus duodecim tribuum Israel, singuli per nomina singulorum.
15
Fecerunt in rationali et catenulas sibi invicem cohærentes, de auro purissimo:
16
et duos uncinos, totidemque annulos aureos. Porro annulos posuerunt in utroque latere rationalis,
17
e quibus penderent duæ catenæ aureæ, quas inseruerunt uncinis, qui in superhumeralis angulis eminebant.
18
Hæc et ante et retro ita conveniebant sibi, ut superhumerale et rationale mutuo necterentur,
19
stricta ad balteum et annulis fortius copulata, quos iungebat vitta hyacinthina, ne laxa fluerent, et a se invicem moverentur, sicut præcepit Dominus Moysi.
20
Feceruntque quoque tunicam superhumeralis totam hyacinthinam,
21
et capitium in superiori parte contra medium, oramque per gyrum capitii textilem:
22
deorsum autem ad pedes mala punica ex hyacintho, purpura, vermiculo, ac bysso retorta:
23
et tintinnabula de auro purissimo, quæ posuerunt inter malogranata in extrema parte tunicæ per gyrum:
24
tintinnabulum autem aureum, et malum punicum, quibus ornatus incedebat pontifex quando ministerio fungebatur, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
25
Fecerunt et tunicas byssinas opere textili Aaron et filiis eius:
26
et mitras cum coronulis suis ex bysso:
27
feminalia quoque linea, byssina:
28
cingulum vero de bysso retorta, hyacintho, purpura, ac vermiculo bis tincto arte plumaria, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
29
Fecerunt et laminam sacræ venerationis de auro purissimo, scripseruntque in ea opere gemmario, Sanctum Domini:
30
et strinxerunt eam cum mitra vitta hyacinthina, sicut præceperat Dominus Moysi.
31
Perfectum est igitur omne opus tabernaculi et tecti testimonii: feceruntque filii Israel cuncta quæ præceperat Dominus Moysi.
32
Et obtulerunt tabernaculum et tectum et universam supellectilem, annulos, tabulas, vectes, columnas ac bases,
33
opertorium de pellibus arietum rubricatis, et aliud operimentum de ianthinis pellibus,
34
velum: arcam, vectes, propitiatorium,
35
mensam cum vasis suis et propositionis panibus:
36
candelabrum, lucernas, et utensilia earum cum oleo:
37
altare aureum, et unguentum, et thymiama ex aromatibus:
38
et tentorium in introitu tabernaculi:
39
altare æneum, retiaculum, vectes, et vasa eius omnia: labrum cum basi sua: tentoria atrii, et columnas cum basibus suis:
40
tentorium in introitu atrii, funiculosque illius et paxillos. Nihil ex vasis defuit, quæ in ministerium tabernaculi, et in tectum fœderis iussa sunt fieri.
41
Vestes quoque, quibus sacerdotes utuntur in Sanctuario, Aaron scilicet et filii eius,
42
obtulerunt filii Israel, sicut præceperat Dominus.
43
Quæ postquam Moyses cuncta vidit completa, benedixit eis.

Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.
2
He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3
They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in with the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.
4
They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. It was joined together at the two ends.
5
The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work: of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, as the LORD commanded Moses.

They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its width a span, being double.

They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;
11
and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
12
and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.
20
They made two more rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
21
They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22
He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23
The opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.
24
They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.
25
They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates;
26
a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27
They made the tunics of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons,
28
the turban of fine linen, the linen headbands of fine linen, the linen trousers of fine twined linen,
29
the sash of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30
They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet: “HOLY TO THE LORD”.
31
They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD commanded Moses.
32
Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished. The children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they did.
33
They brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,

35
the ark of the covenant with its poles, the mercy seat,
36
the table, all its vessels, the show bread,
37
the pure lamp stand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
