Exodus 38

1 And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia-wood; five cubits the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, square, and three cubits the height thereof.

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

2 And he made its horns on the four corners thereof; its horns were of itself; and he overlaid it with copper.

the horns of which proceeded from the corners. And he covered it with layers of brass.

3 And he made all the utensils of the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the bowls, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils made he of copper.

And for its uses, he prepared diverse vessels out of brass: kettles, forceps, little hooks, larger hooks, and receptacles for the fire.

4 And he made for the altar a grating of network of copper under its ledge from beneath, to the very middle of it.

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

5 And he cast four rings for the four corners of the grating of copper, as receptacles for the staves.

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

6 And he made the staves of acacia-wood, and overlaid them with copper.

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

7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. Hollow with boards did he make it.

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.

8 And he made the laver of copper, and its stand of copper, of the mirrors of the crowds of women who crowded before the entrance of the tent of meeting.

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.

9 And he made the court. On the south side southward, the hangings of the court were of twined byssus, a hundred cubits;

He also made the atrium, at the south side of which were hangings of fine twisted linen of one hundred cubits and

10 their pillars twenty, and their bases twenty, of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

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

11 And on the north side, a hundred cubits; their pillars twenty, and their bases twenty, of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

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.

12 And on the west side, hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their bases ten; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

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.

13 And for the east side, eastward, fifty cubits;

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

14 the hangings on the one wing of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their bases three;

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

15 and on the other wing, on this side as on that side of the gate of the court, hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their bases three.

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.

16 All the hangings of the court round about were of twined byssus;

All the hangings of the atrium were woven from fine twisted linen.

17 and the bases of the pillars of copper, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals of silver; and all the pillars of the court were fastened together with [rods of] silver.

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.

18 — And the curtain of the gate of the court was of embroidery of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus; and the length was twenty cubits, and the height like the breadth, five cubits, just as the hangings of the court;

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.

19 and their pillars four, and their bases four, of copper; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their connecting-rods of silver.

Now the columns at the entrance were four, with bases of brass, and their heads and engravings were of silver.

20 And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court round about were of copper.

Likewise, the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium all around he made of brass.

21 These are the things numbered of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, by the service of the Levites, under the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

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,

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

23 and with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and artificer, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in byssus.

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.

26 a bekah the head — half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed the numbering from twenty years old and upward, [of] the six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

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.

27 And there were a hundred talents of silver for casting the bases of the sanctuary, and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases of a hundred talents, a talent for a base.

One hundred bases were made from one hundred talents, a single talent being counted for each base.

28 And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five [shekels] he made the hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and fastened them [with rods].

But from one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, he made the heads of the columns, which he also clothed with silver.

29 And the copper of the wave-offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred shekels.

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

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 court round about, and the bases of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs of the court round about.
