Exodus 38
1 And Beseleel made the ark,
Bezalel made the altar burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square and measured five cubits long by five cubits wide by three cubits high.
2 and overlaid it with pure gold within and without;
He made horns for each of its corners, all one piece with the altar, and covered the whole altar with bronze.
3 and he cast for it four golden rings, two on the one side, and two on the other,
He made all its utensils: buckets for removing ashes, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans. He made all its utensils of bronze.
4 wide [enough] for the staves, so that men should bear the ark with them.
He made a bronze mesh grate for the altar and placed it under the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh came halfway down the altar.
5 And he made the propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,
He cast four bronze rings for the four corners of the grate as holders for the poles.
6 and the two cherubs of gold;
He made poles of acacia wood for the altar and covered them with bronze.
7 one cherub on the one end of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,
He put the poles through the rings on either side of the altar so it could be carried. He made the altar hollow, using boards.
8 overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.
He made the bronze basin with its stand with bronze from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
9 And he made the set table of pure gold,
Then he made a courtyard. For the south side of the courtyard he made curtains of finely-spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,
10 and cast for it four rings: two on the one side and two on the other side, broad, so that [men] should lift it with the staves in them.
with twenty posts and twenty bronze stands, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
11 And he made the staves of the ark and of the table, and gilded them with gold.
Similarly he made curtains placed on the north side in an identical arrangement.
12 And he made the furniture of the table, both the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the bowls with which he should offer drink-offerings, of gold.
He made curtains for the west side of the courtyard fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten stands.
13 And he made the candlestick which gives light, of gold;
The east side of the courtyard that faces the sunrise was fifty cubits wide.
14 the stem solid, and the branches from both its sides;
He made the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three stands,
15 and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other.
and the curtains on the other side just the same.
16 And [as to] their lamps, which are on the ends, knops [proceeded] from them; and sockets proceeding from them, that the lamps might be upon them; and the seventh socket, on the top of the candlestick, on the summit above, entirely of solid gold.
All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely-woven linen.
17 And on the candlestick seven golden lamps, and its snuffers gold, and its funnels gold.
The stands for the posts were bronze, the hooks and bands were silver, and the tops of the posts were covered with silver. All the posts around the courtyard had silver bands.
18 He overlaid the posts [with silver], and cast for each post golden rings, and gilded the bars with gold; and he gilded the posts of the veil with gold, and made the hooks of gold.
The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen. It was twenty cubits long by five cubits high, the same height as the courtyard curtains.
19 He made also the rings of the tabernacle of gold; and the rings of the court, and the rings for drawing out the veil above of brass.
It was held up by four posts and four stands. The posts had silver hooks, tops, and bands.
20 He cast the silver chapiters of the tabernacle, and the brazen chapiters of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court; and he made silver hooks for the posts, he overlaid them with silver on the posts.
All the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were made of bronze.
21 He made the pins of the tabernacle and the pins of the court of brass.
The following is what was used for the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Testimony, recorded at Moses' direction by the Levites under the supervision of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
22 He made the brazen altar of the brazen censers, which belonged to the men engaged in sedition with the gathering of Core.
Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had ordered Moses to make.
23 He made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, and its base, and its bowls, and the brazen flesh hooks.
He was assisted by Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer using blue, purple, and crimson thread and finely-woven linen.
24 He made an appendage for the altar of network under the grate, beneath it as far as the middle of it; and he fastened to it four brazen rings on the four parts of the appendage of the altar, wide [enough] for the bars, so as to bear the altar with them.
The total amount of gold from the offering that was used for the work on the sanctuary was 29 talents and 730 shekels, (using the sanctuary shekel standard).
25 He made the holy anointing oil and the composition of the incense, the pure work of the perfumer.
The total amount of silver from those who had been counted in the census was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels (using the sanctuary shekel standard).
26 He made the brazen laver, and the brazen base of it of the mirrors of the women that fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, in the day in which he set it up.
This represents a beka per person, or half a shekel, (using the sanctuary shekel standard) from everyone twenty years of age or older who had been censused, a total of 603,550 men.
27 And he made the laver, that at it Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet: when they went into the tabernacle of witness, or whenever they should advance to the altar to do service, they washed at it, as the Lord commanded Moses.
The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the sanctuary stands and the curtain stands, 100 bases from the 100 talents, or one talent per base.
Bezalel used the 1,775 shekels of silver to make the hooks for the posts, cover their tops, and make bands for them.
The total amount of bronze from the offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.
Bezalel used it to make the stands for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grate, all the utensils for the altar,
the stands for the courtyard and its entrance, and all the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and the courtyard.
