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.

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

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

The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of 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 for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks, and firepans.

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 the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth,

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

Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it.

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

And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of 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 drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within.

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.

He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watch at the door of the tabernacle.

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,

He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen, of a hundred cubits,

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

Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the heads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver.

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

In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and the sockets and heads of the pillars were of the same measure, and work and metal.

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

But on that side that looketh to the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, ten pillars of brass with their sockets, and the heads of the pillars, and all the graving of the work, of silver.

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

Moreover towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:

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

Fifteen cubits of which were on one side with three pillars, and their sockets:

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

And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets.

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

All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted 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.

The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also 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 he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high according to the measure of all 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 the pillars in the entry were four with sockets of brass, and their heads and gravings of silver.

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

The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made 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.

These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar 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.

Which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda had made as the Lord commanded by 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.

Having for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan: who also was an excellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and 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).

All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary.

25 The total amount of silver from those who had been counted in the census was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels (using the sanctuary shekel standard).

And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.

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.

There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth.

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.

A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent being reckoned for every 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.

And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver.

29 The total amount of bronze from the offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.

And there were offered of brass also seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred sicles besides.

30 Bezalel used it to make the stands for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grate, all the utensils for the altar,

Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and all the vessels that belong to the use thereof.

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

And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle and of the court round about.
