< Exodus 38 >
1 And Beseleel made the ark,
And he makes the altar of burnt-offering of shittim wood; five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth (square), and three cubits its height;
2 and overlaid it with pure gold within and without;
and he makes its horns on its four corners; its horns have been of the same; and he overlays it with bronze;
3 and he cast for it four golden rings, two on the one side, and two on the other,
and he makes all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the sprinkling-pans, the forks, and the fire-pans; he has made all its vessels of bronze.
4 wide [enough] for the staves, so that men should bear the ark with them.
And he makes a bronze grate of network for the altar, under its rim beneath, to its midst;
5 And he made the propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,
and he casts four rings for the four ends of the bronze grate—places for bars;
6 and the two cherubs of gold;
and he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with bronze;
7 one cherub on the one end of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,
and he brings in the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with them; he made it hollow [with] boards.
8 overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.
And he makes the laver of bronze, and its base of bronze, with the mirrors of the women assembling, who have assembled at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.
9 And he made the set table of pure gold,
And he makes the court: at the south side southward, the hangings of the court of twined linen, one hundred by the cubit,
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 [are] twenty, and their bronze sockets twenty, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] silver;
11 And he made the staves of the ark and of the table, and gilded them with gold.
and at the north side, one hundred by the cubit, their pillars [are] twenty, and their sockets of bronze twenty; the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] 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 at the west side [are] hangings, fifty by the cubit; their pillars [are] ten, and their sockets ten; the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] silver;
13 And he made the candlestick which gives light, of gold;
and at the east side eastward, fifty cubits.
14 the stem solid, and the branches from both its sides;
The hangings on the side [are] 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 at the second side at the gate of the court, on this [side] and on that [side]—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 around [are] of twined linen,
17 And on the candlestick seven golden lamps, and its snuffers gold, and its funnels gold.
and the sockets for the pillars of bronze, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets of silver, and the overlaying of their tops of silver, and all the pillars of the court are 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 covering of the gate of the court [is] the work of an embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen; and twenty cubits [is] the length, and the height with the breadth [is] five cubits, corresponding 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 [are] four, and their sockets of bronze four, their pegs [are] of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their fillets [are] 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 for the Dwelling Place, and for the court all around, [are] of bronze.
21 He made the pins of the tabernacle and the pins of the court of brass.
These are the numberings of the Dwelling Place (the Dwelling Place of Testimony), which has been numbered by the command of Moses, the service of the Levites, by the hand 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.
And Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, has made all that YHWH 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 [is] Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and designer and embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in 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 which is prepared for the work in all the work of the holy place (and it is the gold of the wave-offering) [is] twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, by the shekel of the holy place.
25 He made the holy anointing oil and the composition of the incense, the pure work of the perfumer.
And the silver of those numbered of the congregation [is] one hundred talents, and one thousand and seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, by the shekel of the holy place;
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 bekah for the counted head (half a shekel, by the shekel of the holy place), for everyone who is passing over to those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
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 one hundred talents of silver are for casting the sockets of the holy place, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket;

and the sockets of the court all around, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the Dwelling Place, and all the pins of the court all around.
