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 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 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 thereof, upon the four corners thereof, of the same, were the horns thereof, —and he overlaid it with bronze.

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

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

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

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 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 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 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 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, —on the south side southward, the hangings of the court 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, twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze, —the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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 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 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 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 bronze, —their hooks, of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their connecting-rods, of silver.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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,

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

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.
