Lyrics
Bezalel and Oholiab shall work with every wise-hearted man In whom the LORD has put wisdom and understanding To know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary
According to all that the LORD has commanded Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab And every wise-hearted man in whose heart the LORD had put wisdom Even everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to the work to do it
They received from Moses all the offering Which the children of Israel had brought For the work of the service of the sanctuary With which to make it
They kept bringing free will offerings to him every morning All the wise men who performed all the work of the sanctuary Each came from his work which he did They spoke to Moses saying
The people have brought much more than enough For the service of the work which the LORD commanded to make Moses gave a commandment and they caused it to be proclaimed Throughout the camp
Saying, let neither man nor woman make anything else For the offering for the sanctuary So the people were restrained from bringing For the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work
And too much All the wise-hearted men amongst those who did the work Made the tabernacle with ten curtains Of fine twined linen blue purple and scarlet
They made them with cherubim the work of a skilful workman The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits And the width of each curtain four cubits All the curtains had one measure
He coupled five curtains to one another And the other five curtains he coupled to one another He made loops of blue on the edge of the one curtain From the edge in the coupling
Likewise he made in the edge of the curtain that was outermost In the second coupling he made fifty loops in the one curtain And he made fifty loops in the edge of the curtain That was in the second coupling
The loops were opposite to one another He made fifty clasps of gold And coupled the curtains to one another with the clasps So the tabernacle was a unit
