Exodus 38

1 The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, 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 And he put horns at its four angles made of the same, plating it all with brass;

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 And brass was used for all the vessels of the altar, the baskets and the spades, the basins and the meat-hooks and the fire-trays; all the vessels he made of brass

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 And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;

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

5 And four rings for the four angles of this network, to take the rods.

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

6 The rods he made of hard wood plated with brass.

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

7 He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

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 And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of 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 To make the open space, he put hangings on the south side, of the best linen, a hundred cubits long:

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

10 Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were brass; and the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

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

11 And for the north side. hangings a hundred cubits long, on twenty brass pillars in brass bases, with silver hooks and bands.

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 And on the west side, hangings fifty cubits long, on ten pillars in ten bases, with silver bands.

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 on the east side, the open space was fifty cubits long.

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

14 The hangings on one side of the doorway were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases;

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

15 And the same on the other side of the doorway; on this side and on that the hangings were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases.

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 hangings were of the best linen.

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

17 And the bases of the pillars were of brass; their hooks and the bands round the tops of them were of silver; all the pillars were ringed 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 And the curtain for the doorway of the open space was of the best linen, with designs of blue and purple and red in needlework; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high, to go with the hangings round the sides.

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 There were four pillars with their bases, all of brass, the hooks being of silver, and their tops and their bands being covered with silver.

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 nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.

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

21 This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

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, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

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

23 And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; a designer and a trained workman, expert in needlework of blue and purple and red and the best 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.

a bekah per head, that is a half shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary, for all that passed over to them who had been numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, for six hundred and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.

27 Of this silver, a hundred talents was used for making the bases of the pillars of the holy place and of the veil; a talent for every base.

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 And a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels of silver was used to make the hooks for the pillars, and for plating the tops of the pillars and for making their bands.
