de Biblica1»Los demás artesanos, a quienes el SEÑOR haya dado habilidades, deberán ayudar a Bezalel y Aholiab en la construcción y preparación de los utensilios del santuario, de acuerdo con lo que el SEÑOR ha ordenado».2Luego Moisés dijo a Bezalel, a Aholiab y a todos los que sintieron el deseo de colaborar en los trabajos que comenzaran a trabajar,3y les entregó los materiales donados por el pueblo para la construcción del santuario. Pero como la gente continuaba llevando ofrendas todos los días,4-7los obreros dejaron sus trabajos y fueron a reunirse con Moisés, y le dijeron: «La gente ha ofrendado mucho más de lo que necesitamos para realizar la obra que el SEÑOR nos ha encomendado». Entonces Moisés envió mensajeros que fueran por el campamento avisando que ya no se necesitaban más donaciones. Por fin la gente dejó de llevar ofrendas.
El santuario
8Los tejedores hicieron primero diez cortinas de lino fino torcido, de color azul, morado y escarlata, y las adornaron con querubines hermosamente bordados sobre ellas.9Cada cortina medía unos doce metros y medio de largo por un metro con ochenta centímetros de ancho.10Cinco fueron unidas entre sí, y luego otras cinco unidas de la misma manera, y así formaron dos grandes cortinas.11-12Con cincuenta cintas azules se hicieron lazos en el borde de las dos cortinas, cada lazo frente a su compañero de la otra cortina.13Luego se hicieron cincuenta ganchos de oro para unir los lazos, y de esta manera unir las dos grandes cortinas, de modo que el santuario era uno solo, pues se veía como si fuera de una sola pieza.14-15Sobre el cielo raso fue colocada una segunda capa formada por once cortinas hechas de pelo de cabra. Tenían todas trece metros y medio de largo por un metro con ochenta centímetros de ancho.16Bezalel unió cinco de estas cortinas para hacer una pieza larga, y otras seis para hacer otra.17Luego hizo cincuenta lazos en el extremo de cada una,18y cincuenta pequeños ganchos de bronce para unir los lazos, a fin de que las cortinas quedaran firmemente unidas una a otra.19La cubierta superior del techo fue hecha de pieles de carnero teñidas de rojo y de pieles de cabras.20Para los costados del santuario se usaron tablas de madera de acacia, puestas en forma vertical.21El alto de cada tabla era de cuatro metros y medio y el ancho de setenta centímetros.22Cada tabla se unía a la otra por medio de dos ganchos.23Había veinte tablas en el costado sur,24asentadas en cuarenta bases de plata. Cada tabla estaba unida a su base por medio de dos ganchos.25-26Había veinte tablas en el costado norte del santuario, con cuarenta bases de plata, dos para cada tabla.27El costado occidental del santuario, que era la parte posterior, estaba hecho con seis tablas,28más otra a cada extremo.29Estas tablas, incluyendo las de las esquinas, fueron unidas unas a otras, arriba y abajo, por medio de argollas.30De modo que por el costado occidental había un total de ocho tablas con dieciséis bases de plata, dos por cada tabla.31-32Luego hicieron cinco series de travesaños de madera de acacia, para unir las tablas por los lados, cinco por cada costado del santuario.33Uno de estos travesaños pasaba por el centro de las tablas, e iba de un extremo al otro del santuario.34Las tablas y los travesaños estaban recubiertos de oro, y las argollas eran de oro puro.35La cortina interior azul, morada y escarlata fue hecha de lino fino torcido, con querubines primorosamente bordados.36La cortina colgaba de cuatro ganchos de oro, montados en cuatro postes de madera de acacia, cubiertos de oro y asentados sobre cuatro bases de plata.37Luego hicieron una cortina para la entrada del santuario, tejida de lino fino bordado con azul, morado y escarlata.38Esta cortina iba unida por medio de cinco ganchos a cinco postes. Los postes, sus capiteles y varas estaban cubiertos con oro, y las cinco bases eran de bronce.

de Crossway1“Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the Lord has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.” (Ex 28:3; Ex 31:6; Ex 35:10; Ex 35:25)2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the Lord had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. (Ex 25:2)3And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, (Ex 35:24; Ex 35:29)4so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing,5and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the Lord has commanded us to do.” (2 Cr 31:10; 2 Co 8:2)6So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, (Ex 36:3)7for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.8And all the craftsmen among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked. (Ex 26:1)9The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits,[1] and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains were the same size.10He[2] coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.11He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set. Likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.12He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.13And he made fifty clasps of gold, and coupled the curtains one to the other with clasps. So the tabernacle was a single whole.14He also made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle. He made eleven curtains.15The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. The eleven curtains were the same size.16He coupled five curtains by themselves, and six curtains by themselves.17And he made fifty loops on the edge of the outermost curtain of the one set, and fifty loops on the edge of the other connecting curtain.18And he made fifty clasps of bronze to couple the tent together that it might be a single whole.19And he made for the tent a covering of tanned rams’ skins and goatskins.20Then he made the upright frames for the tabernacle of acacia wood. (Ex 25:5; Ex 25:28; Ex 26:15; Ex 30:5)21Ten cubits was the length of a frame, and a cubit and a half the breadth of each frame.22Each frame had two tenons for fitting together. He did this for all the frames of the tabernacle.23The frames for the tabernacle he made thus: twenty frames for the south side.24And he made forty bases of silver under the twenty frames, two bases under one frame for its two tenons, and two bases under the next frame for its two tenons.25For the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty frames26and their forty bases of silver, two bases under one frame and two bases under the next frame.27For the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six frames.28He made two frames for corners of the tabernacle in the rear.29And they were separate beneath but joined at the top, at the first ring. He made two of them this way for the two corners.30There were eight frames with their bases of silver: sixteen bases, under every frame two bases.31He made bars of acacia wood, five for the frames of the one side of the tabernacle,32and five bars for the frames of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the frames of the tabernacle at the rear westward.33And he made the middle bar to run from end to end halfway up the frames.34And he overlaid the frames with gold, and made their rings of gold for holders for the bars, and overlaid the bars with gold.35He made the veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen; with cherubim skillfully worked into it he made it. (Ex 26:31)36And for it he made four pillars of acacia and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were of gold, and he cast for them four bases of silver.37He also made a screen for the entrance of the tent, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework,38and its five pillars with their hooks. He overlaid their capitals, and their fillets were of gold, but their five bases were of bronze.
