Exodus 38

1 Bezalel constructed the altar of burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

And he made the altar for the ascending-sacrifice of acacia wood, —five cubits, the length thereof and, five cubits, the breadth thereof foursquare, and, three cubits, the height thereof.

2 He made a horn at each of its four corners, so that the horns and altar were of one piece, and he overlaid the altar with bronze.

And he made the horns thereof, upon the four corners thereof, of the same, were the horns thereof, —and he overlaid it with bronze.

3 He made all the altar’s utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.

And he made all the utensils of the altar—the pans and the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls, the flesh-hooks and the fire-pans, —all the utensils thereof, made he of bronze.

4 He made a grate of bronze mesh for the altar under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom.

And he made to the altar a grating, of network of bronze, —under the margin thereof beneath as far as the midst thereof.

5 At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles.

And he cast four rings in the four corners to the grating of bronze, —as receptacles for the staves,

6 And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

And he made the staves of acacia wood, —and overlaid them with bronze.

7 Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar with boards so that it was hollow.

And he brought the staves into the rings, upon the sides of the altar, to lift it therewith, —hollow with boards, did he make it.

8 Next he made the bronze basin and its stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

And he made the laver of bronze, and the stand thereof of bronze, —with the mirrors of the female hosts who did service at the opening of the tent of meeting.

9 Then he constructed the courtyard. The south side of the courtyard was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely spun linen,

And he made the court, —on the south side southward, the hangings of the court of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;

10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

their pillars, twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze, —the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver:

11 The north side was also a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

and, on the north side, a hundred cubits, their pillars, twenty, and, their sockets twenty, of bronze, —the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver.

12 The west side was fifty cubits long and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

And on the west side, hangings, fifty cubits, their pillars, ten, and, their sockets, ten, —and, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver.

13 And the east side, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits long.

And on the east side towards the dawn, fifty cubits:

14 The curtains on one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

hangings, fifteen cubits, for the side-piece, —their pillars, three, and, their sockets three;

15 And the curtains on the other side were also fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases as well.

and, for the second sidepiece on this side and on that of the gate of the court, hangings, fifteen cubits, —their pillars three, and their sockets, three.

16 All the curtains around the courtyard were made of finely spun linen.

All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.

17 The bases for the posts were bronze, the hooks and bands were silver, and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. So all the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

And, the sockets for the pillars, were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver, —and the overlaying of their capitals, was silver, —and, they themselves, were filleted with silver, even all the pillars of the court,

18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high,

And, the screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer, blue and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, —and, twenty cubits, in length, and the height, according to the breadth, of five cubits, to match the curtains of the court;

19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, as well as the bands and the plating of their tops.

and, their pillars, were four, and, their sockets, four, of bronze, —their hooks, of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their connecting-rods, of silver.

20 All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

And, all the pins for the habitation, and for the court round about, of bronze.

These, are the details of the habitation—the habitation of testimony, which were detailed at the bidding of Moses, —the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

22 Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the LORD had commanded Moses.

So then Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.

23 With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen.

And, with him, was Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an artificer and skilful weaver, —and an embroiderer—in blue, and in purple and in crimson and in fine linen.

And it came to pass that the hundred talents of silver were used for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil, —one hundred sockets with the hundred talents a talent for a socket.

28 With the 1,775 shekels of silver he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and supplied bands for them.
