Exodus 38

1 He also made the altar of holocaust from setim wood: five cubits square, and three in height,

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 the horns of which proceeded from the corners. And he covered it with layers of 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 for its uses, he prepared diverse vessels out of brass: kettles, forceps, little hooks, larger hooks, and receptacles for the fire.

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 its grating of brass, in the manner of a net, and under it, in the midst of the altar, its base,

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

5 casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.

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

6 These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.

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

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.

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 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.

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

10 twenty columns of brass with their bases. The heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.

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

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, 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 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 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 Furthermore, toward the east, he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:

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

14 of which, there were fifteen cubits, among three columns with their bases, holding up one side,

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

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, 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 of the atrium were woven from fine twisted linen.

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

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, 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 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.

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 Now the columns at the entrance were four, with bases of brass, and their heads and engravings were of 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 Likewise, the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium all around he made of brass.

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

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,

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 which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur from the tribe of Judah, had completed, just as the Lord decreed through Moses.

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

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.

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.

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.

As for all the gold that was used for, the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, it came to pass that the gold of the wave-offering was nine-and-twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary.

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.

And, the silver of them who were numbered of the assembly, was one hundred talents, —and one thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary;

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.

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 One hundred bases were made from one hundred talents, a single talent being counted for each 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 But from one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, he made the heads of the columns, which he also clothed with silver.

And with the thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five, made the hooks for the pillars, —and overlaid their capitals and united them with connecting-rods.

29 Likewise, of brass, there was offered seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred more shekels,

And the bronze of the wave-offering, was seventy talents, —and two thousand and four hundred 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,

And he made therewith, the sockets for the opening of the tent of meeting, and the altar of bronze and the grating of bronze which pertained thereto, —and all the utensils of the altar,

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.

and the sockets for the court round about, and the sockets for the gate of the court, —and all the pins for the habitation and all the pins for the court round about.
