Exodus 38

1 Bezalel made the altar burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square and measured five cubits long by five cubits wide by three cubits high.

And he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length of it, and five cubits the breadth of it, foursquare, and three cubits the height of it.

2 He made horns for each of its corners, all one piece with the altar, and covered the whole altar with bronze.

And he made the horns of it upon the four corners of it. The horns of it were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with brass.

3 He made all its utensils: buckets for removing ashes, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans. He made all its utensils of bronze.

And he made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans. All the vessels of it he made of brass.

4 He made a bronze mesh grate for the altar and placed it under the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh came halfway down the altar.

And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up.

5 He cast four bronze rings for the four corners of the grate as holders for the poles.

And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves.

6 He made poles of acacia wood for the altar and covered them with bronze.

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

7 He put the poles through the rings on either side of the altar so it could be carried. He made the altar hollow, using boards.

And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.

8 He made the bronze basin with its stand with bronze from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

And he made the laver of brass, and the base of it of brass, from the mirrors of the women who fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, in the day in which he set it up.

9 Then he made a courtyard. For the south side of the courtyard he made curtains of finely-spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,

And he made the court. For the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits,

10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze stands, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

11 Similarly he made curtains placed on the north side in an identical arrangement.

And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass, the hooks of the pillars, and their bands, of silver.

12 He made curtains for the west side of the courtyard fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten stands.

And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten, the hooks of the pillars, and their bands, of silver.

13 The east side of the courtyard that faces the sunrise was fifty cubits wide.

And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.

14 He made the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three stands,

The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three,

15 and the curtains on the other side just the same.

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 All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely-woven linen.

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

17 The stands for the posts were bronze, the hooks and bands were silver, and the tops of the posts were covered with silver. All the posts around the courtyard had silver bands.

And the sockets for the pillars were of brass, the hooks of the pillars, and their bands, of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, of silver. And all the pillars of the court were banded with silver.

18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen. It was twenty cubits long by five cubits high, the same height as the courtyard curtains.

And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, 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 It was held up by four posts and four stands. The posts had silver hooks, tops, and bands.

And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their bands, of silver.

20 All the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were made of bronze.

And all the pegs of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.

21 The following is what was used for the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Testimony, recorded at Moses' direction by the Levites under the supervision of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

This is the sum of the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

22 Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had ordered Moses to make.

And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah commanded Moses.

23 He was assisted by Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer using blue, purple, and crimson thread and finely-woven linen.

And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.

24 The total amount of gold from the offering that was used for the work on the sanctuary was 29 talents and 730 shekels, (using the sanctuary shekel standard).

26 This represents a beka per person, or half a shekel, (using the sanctuary shekel standard) from everyone twenty years of age or older who had been censused, a total of 603,550 men.

a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

27 The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the sanctuary stands and the curtain stands, 100 bases from the 100 talents, or one talent per base.

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.

28 Bezalel used the 1,775 shekels of silver to make the hooks for the posts, cover their tops, and make bands for them.

31 the stands for the courtyard and its entrance, and all the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and the courtyard.
