Exodus 38
1 He also made the altar of holocaust from setim wood: five cubits square, and three in height,
And Beseleel made the ark,
2 the horns of which proceeded from the corners. And he covered it with layers of brass.
and overlaid it with pure gold within and without;
3 And for its uses, he prepared diverse vessels out of brass: kettles, forceps, little hooks, larger hooks, and receptacles for the fire.
and he cast for it four golden rings, two on the one side, and two on the other,
4 And he made its grating of brass, in the manner of a net, and under it, in the midst of the altar, its base,
wide [enough] for the staves, so that men should bear the ark with them.
5 casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.
And he made the propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,
6 These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.
and the two cherubs of gold;
7 And he drew them through the rings, which projected from the sides of the altar. But the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, made from panels and empty inside.
one cherub on the one end of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,
8 He also made the washtub of brass, with its base made from the mirrors of the women who kept watch at the door of the tabernacle.
overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.
9 He also made the atrium, at the south side of which were hangings of fine twisted linen of one hundred cubits and
And he made the set table of pure gold,
10 twenty columns of brass with their bases. The heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.
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.
11 Equally, at the northern area, the hangings, the columns, and the bases and heads of the columns were of the same measure and work and metal.
And he made the staves of the ark and of the table, and gilded them with gold.
12 Yet truly, on that side which looks out toward the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns with their bases of brass. And the heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.
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.
13 Furthermore, toward the east, he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:
And he made the candlestick which gives light, of gold;
14 of which, there were fifteen cubits, among three columns with their bases, holding up one side,
the stem solid, and the branches from both its sides;
15 and on the other side, (for between the two he made the entrance of the tabernacle) there were equally hangings of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and the same number of bases.
and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other.
16 All the hangings of the atrium were woven from fine twisted linen.
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.
17 The bases of the columns were of brass, but their heads with all of their engravings were of silver. Now he also overlaid the columns of the atrium themselves with silver.
And on the candlestick seven golden lamps, and its snuffers gold, and its funnels gold.
18 And he made, at its entrance, a hanging, wrought with embroidery, of hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, which held twenty cubits in length, yet truly it was five cubits in height, as with the measure of all the hangings of the atrium.
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.
19 Now the columns at the entrance were four, with bases of brass, and their heads and engravings were of silver.
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.
20 Likewise, the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium all around he made of brass.
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.
21 These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were enumerated according to the instruction of Moses, with the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest,
He made the pins of the tabernacle and the pins of the court of brass.
22 which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur from the tribe of Judah, had completed, just as the Lord decreed through Moses.
He made the brazen altar of the brazen censers, which belonged to the men engaged in sedition with the gathering of Core.
23 He was joined by his associate, Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, who himself was also an exceptional artisan of wood, and of weaving, as well as of embroidery, with hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine linen.
He made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, and its base, and its bowls, and the brazen flesh hooks.
24 All of the gold that was expended in the work of the Sanctuary, and that was offered in donation, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the measure of the Sanctuary.
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.
25 Now it was offered by those who were past the numbering of twenty years and above: from six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.
He made the holy anointing oil and the composition of the incense, the pure work of the perfumer.
26 There were, beyond that, one hundred talents of silver, from which were cast the bases for the Sanctuary and for the entrance where the veil hangs.
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.
27 One hundred bases were made from one hundred talents, a single talent being counted for each base.
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.
28 But from one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, he made the heads of the columns, which he also clothed with silver.
29 Likewise, of brass, there was offered seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred more shekels,
30 from which were cast the bases at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with its grating, and the vessels which pertain to its use,
31 and the bases of the atrium, as much at the circumference as at its entrance, and the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the atrium all round.
