Exodus 36 in plain modern English. New Ground English Translation.
So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every Yahweh had given the ability and understanding to know how to do the work for building the — they got to work doing everything Yahweh had commanded.
Moses called Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whose them — everyone who felt compelled to come and do the work.
They received from Moses all the the Israelites had brought for the work of building the sacred space. But the people kept bringing more every morning.
So all the skilled workers who were doing the work on the sacred space — each one stopped what they were doing and came to Moses.
They told him, "The people are bringing way more than enough for the work Yahweh commanded us to do."
So Moses gave an order, and they sent a message throughout the camp: "No one — man or woman — should make anything else as a contribution for the sacred space." And the people finally stopped bringing things.
The materials they already had were more than enough to finish all the work. There was actually too much.
All the most skilled workers among them made the with ten curtains of finely twisted linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with woven into them by an expert designer.
Each curtain was long and six wide — all ten curtains were the same size.
He joined five of the curtains together as one set, and the other five curtains together as a second set.
He made loops of blue yarn along the edge of the last curtain in the first set, and did the same along the edge of the last curtain in the second set.
He made fifty loops on the first curtain and fifty loops on the matching edge of the second set, with the loops directly opposite each other.
Then he made fifty gold clasps and used them to fasten the two sets of curtains together so that the tent dwelling became one unified piece.
He also made curtains of goat hair for a tent covering over the dwelling — eleven curtains total.
Each curtain was forty-five feet long and six feet wide — all eleven curtains were the same size.
He joined five curtains together as one set and the other six curtains as a separate set.
He made fifty loops along the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set and fifty loops along the edge of the connecting curtain in the second set.
He made fifty bronze clasps to fasten the tent together as one piece.

He made upright frames of for the tent dwelling.
Each frame was fifteen feet tall and twenty-seven inches wide.
Each frame had two that fit together side by side. He made all the frames for the tent dwelling this same way.
He made twenty frames for the south side of the tent dwelling.
He made forty silver bases to go under the twenty frames — two bases under each frame, one for each peg.
For the second side of the tent dwelling, the north side, he also made twenty frames
and their forty silver bases — two bases under each frame.
For the back of the tent dwelling, the west side, he made six frames.
He made two additional frames for the corners at the back of the tent dwelling.
These corner frames were joined at the bottom and connected all the way to the top with a single ring. He made both corners this way.
So there were eight frames with their silver bases — sixteen bases total, two under each frame.
He made crossbars of acacia wood — five for the frames on one side of the tent dwelling,
five crossbars for the frames on the other side, and five crossbars for the frames on the back, the west side.
He made the center crossbar so it ran from one end to the other, right through the middle of the frames.
He overlaid the frames with gold, made gold rings to hold the crossbars, and overlaid the crossbars with gold too.
He made the out of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely twisted linen, with winged guardians woven into it by an expert designer.
He made four posts of acacia wood for it and overlaid them with gold. Their hooks were gold, and he cast four silver bases for them.
For the entrance to the tent, he made a of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely twisted linen — the work of a skilled embroiderer.
He also made five posts with hooks for the screen. He overlaid the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and their five bases were bronze.
