1 Lai strādā Becalēls un Āholīābs, un ik prasmīgs vīrs, kam Kungs devis gudrību un saprātu, ka tie māk darīt visus darbus svētvietas celšanā, kā Kungs pavēlējis.”
2 Tad Mozus sauca Becalēlu un Āholīābu, un visus vīrus, kam gudra sirds, kam Kungs devis prasmi, ikvienu, ko sirds mudinājusi ķerties klāt darbam un darīt. 3 Un viņi ņēma no Mozus visus ziedojumus, kurus Israēla dēli bija sanesuši, lai celtu svētvietu – tie joprojām ik rītu nesa labprātīgus ziedojumus. 4 Un nāca visi prasmīgie, kas darīja visus darbus svētvietai, un ikviens darīja savu darbu. 5 Viņi teica Mozum: “Tauta nes vairāk, nekā vajag, lai paveiktu, ko Kungs ir pavēlējis!” 6 Tad Mozus pavēlēja, un pa visu nometni tika izsludināts: “Lai ne vīrs, ne sieva neko vairs neziedo svētvietai,” – un tauta tika atturēta no pienešanas. 7 Un paveiktā bija gana, lai padarītu visus darbus, un vēl atlika.
Saiešanas telts celšana
(2Moz 26:1–37)8 Un visi prasmīgie darba darītāji cēla Mājokli ar desmit aizkariem – vieglbalta lina, purpurzila, purpura un sarkana auduma, ar ķerubiem, un tie darināja tos ar prasmi. 9 Viena aizkara garums – divdesmit astoņi elkoņi, un viena aizkara platums – četri elkoņi, tas pats mērs visiem aizkariem. 10 Viņš sadarināja piecus aizkarus vienu ar otru un arī otrus piecus aizkarus vienu ar otru. 11 Katra aizkara malā, kur tie sadarināti, viņš taisīja purpurzilas cilpas, un tādas pašas viņš taisīja otra aizkara sadarinājuma malā. 12 Piecdesmit cilpas viņš taisīja vienam aizkaram, un piecdesmit cilpas viņš taisīja otra aizkara sadarinājuma malā, – cilpas bija pretī viena otrai. 13 Un viņš taisīja piecdesmit zelta āķus un savienoja aizkarus kopā ar āķiem tā, ka iznāca Mājoklis.
14 Un viņš taisīja kazu vilnas aizkarus teltij pār Mājokli, vienpadsmit aizkarus viņš taisīja. 15 Ik aizkara garums bija trīsdesmit elkoņi un platums – četri elkoņi, tāds mērs bija visiem vienpadsmit aizkariem. 16 Un viņš sadarināja kopā piecus aizkarus un arī otrus sešus aizkarus. 17 Un viņš taisīja piecdesmit cilpas malējam aizkaram sadarinājuma malā un piecdesmit cilpas taisīja otra aizkara sadarinājuma malā. 18 Un viņš taisīja piecdesmit vara āķus un savienoja telti, lai tā būtu viens vesels. 19 Un no sarkanām aunu ādām viņš taisīja teltij pārsegu un tās augšai – pārsegu no ģērētām ādām.
20 Un viņš darināja Mājoklim stāvus akācijkoka balstus. 21 Katra balsta garums bija desmit elkoņi un platums – pusotra elkoņa. 22 Katram balstam bija divas tapas, viena pie otras – tādas viņš taisīja visiem Mājokļa balstiem. 23 Tā viņš taisīja Mājokļa balstus – divdesmit balstus tai pusei, kas pret dienvidiem. 24 Un zem divdesmit balstiem viņš taisīja četrdesmit sudraba pamatus: divus pamatus zem viena balsta ar divām tapām un divus pamatus zem otra balsta ar divām tapām. 25 Arī otrai Mājokļa malai, kas no ziemeļu puses, viņš taisīja divdesmit balstus 26 un tiem četrdesmit sudraba pamatus – divus pamatus zem viena balsta un divus pamatus zem otra balsta! 27 Mājokļa aizmugurei rietumu pusē viņš taisīja sešus balstus. 28 Un Mājokļa stūriem aizmugurē viņš taisīja divus balstus. 29 Apakšā tie bija pāris, un augšā tie bija sapāroti kopā ar vienu riņķi – tā viņš ar tiem darīja abos stūros. 30 Tur bija astoņi balsti un to sudraba pamati, sešpadsmit pamati – divi pamati zem katra balsta!
31 Un viņš darināja akācijkoka šķērskokus – piecus katram balstam vienā Mājokļa malā 32 un piecus šķērskokus katram balstam otrā Mājokļa malā, un piecus šķērskokus balstiem Mājokļa aizmugurē, pret rietumiem. 33 Un viņš taisīja vidējo šķērskoku, lai tas iet pāri balstiem no viena gala līdz otram. 34 Balstus viņš pārklāja ar zeltu, un no zelta viņš darināja riņķus – turekļus pie šķērskokiem, un pārklāja šķērskokus ar zeltu.
35 Un viņš taisīja priekškaru – no purpurzila, purpura, sarkana un vieglbalta lina auduma, ar izdomu darinātu, viņš to taisīja ar ķerubiem. 36 Viņš taisīja četrus akācijkoka stabus un pārklāja tos ar zeltu, taisīja tiem zelta āķus un izlēja tiem četrus sudraba pamatus. 37 Un viņš darināja priekškaru telts durvīm – austu no purpurzila, purpura, sarkana un vieglbalta lina auduma, 38 un piecus tā stabus un āķus. Stabu galus viņš pārklāja ar zeltu, bet savienojumus un piecus pamatus – ar varu.
1 “Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other workers to whom the Lord has given skill and understanding, who know how to make everything needed to build the sacred Tent, are to make everything just as the Lord has commanded.”
The People Bring Many Gifts
2 Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and all the other skilled men to whom the Lord had given ability and who were willing to help, and Moses told them to start working. 3 They received from him all the offerings which the Israelites had brought for constructing the sacred Tent. But the people of Israel continued to bring Moses their offerings every morning. 4 Then the skilled men who were doing the work went 5 and told Moses, “The people are bringing more than is needed for the work which the Lord commanded to be done.”
6 So Moses sent a command throughout the camp that no one was to make any further contribution for the sacred Tent; so the people did not bring any more. 7 What had already been brought was more than enough to finish all the work.
Making the Tent of the Lord's Presence
(Exodus 26.1-37)8 The most skilled men among those doing the work made the Tent of the Lord's presence. They made it out of ten pieces of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered with figures of winged creatures. 9 Each piece was the same size, 14 yards long and 2 yards wide. 10 They sewed five of them together in one set and did the same with the other five. 11 They made loops of blue cloth on the edge of the outside piece in each set. 12 They put fifty loops on the first piece of the first set and fifty loops matching them on the last piece of the second set. 13 They made fifty gold hooks, with which to join the two sets into one piece.
14 Then they made a cover for the Tent out of eleven pieces of cloth made of goats' hair. 15 They made them all the same size, 15 yards long and 2 yards wide. 16 They sewed five of them together in one set and the other six in another set. 17 They put fifty loops on the edge of the last piece of one set and fifty loops on the edge of the other set. 18 They made fifty bronze hooks to join the two sets, so as to form one cover. 19 They made two more coverings, one of rams' skin dyed red and the other of fine leather, to serve as an outer cover.
20 They made upright frames of acacia wood for the Tent. 21 Each frame was 15 feet tall and 27 inches wide, 22 with two matching projections, so that the frames could be joined together. All the frames had these projections. 23 They made twenty frames for the south side 24 and forty silver bases to go under them, two bases under each frame to hold its two projections. 25 They made twenty frames for the north side of the Tent 26 and forty silver bases, two under each frame. 27 For the back of the Tent, on the west, they made six frames 28 and two frames for the corners. 29 These corner frames were joined at the bottom and connected all the way to the top. The two frames that formed the two corners were made in this way. 30 So there were eight frames and sixteen silver bases, two under each frame.
31 They made fifteen crossbars of acacia wood, five for the frames on one side of the Tent, 32 five for the frames on the other side, and five for the frames on the west end, at the back. 33 The middle crossbar, set halfway up the frames, extended from one end of the Tent to the other. 34 They covered the frames with gold and fitted them with gold rings to hold the crossbars, which were also covered with gold.
35 They made a curtain of fine linen, woven with blue, purple, and red wool and embroidered it with figures of winged creatures. 36 They made four posts of acacia wood to hold the curtain, covered them with gold, and fitted them with gold hooks. Then they made four silver bases to hold the posts. 37 For the entrance of the Tent they made a curtain of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool and decorated with embroidery. 38 For this curtain they made five posts fitted with hooks, covered their tops and their rods with gold, and made five bronze bases for the posts.
