< Exodus 38 >
1 And Beseleel made the ark,
And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia-wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, four-square, and three cubits the height thereof.
2 and overlaid it with pure gold within and without;
And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of one piece with it; and he overlaid it with brass.
3 and he cast for it four golden rings, two on the one side, and two on the other,
And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the fire-pans; all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4 wide [enough] for the staves, so that men should bear the ark with them.
And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge round it beneath, reaching halfway up.
5 And he made the propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,
And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be holders for the staves.
6 and the two cherubs of gold;
And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 one cherub on the one end of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,
And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, wherewith to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.
8 overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.
And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the serving women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.
9 And he made the set table of pure gold,
And he made the court; for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits.
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.
Their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And he made the staves of the ark and of the table, and gilded them with gold.
And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
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.
And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13 And he made the candlestick which gives light, of gold;
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 the stem solid, and the branches from both its sides;
The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other.
And so for the other side; on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
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 hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 And on the candlestick seven golden lamps, and its snuffers gold, and its funnels gold.
And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
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.
And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the weaver in colours, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
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.
And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.
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.
And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 He made the pins of the tabernacle and the pins of the court of brass.
These are the accounts of the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were rendered according to the commandment of Moses, through the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the 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.
And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
23 He made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, and its base, and its bowls, and the brazen flesh hooks.
And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman, and a skilful workman, and a weaver in colours, in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine 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.
All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 He made the holy anointing oil and the composition of the incense, the pure work of the perfumer.
And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and three-score and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
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.
a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty 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.
And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil: a hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them.
And the brass of the offering was seventy talents and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
