Exodus 38

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

Bezalel constructed the altar of burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

2 And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of one piece with it; and he overlaid it with brass.

He made a horn at each of its four corners, so that the horns and altar were of one piece, and he overlaid the altar with bronze.

3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the fire-pans; all the vessels thereof made he of brass.

He made all the altar’s utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.

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

He made a grate of bronze mesh for the altar under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom.

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

At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles.

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

And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

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

Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar with boards so that it was hollow.

8 And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the serving women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.

Next he made the bronze basin and its stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

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

Then he constructed the courtyard. The south side of the courtyard was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely spun linen,

10 Their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

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

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

The north side was also a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

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

The curtains on one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

15 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.

And the curtains on the other side were also fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases as well.

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

All the curtains around the courtyard were made of finely spun linen.

17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.

The bases for the posts were bronze, the hooks and bands were silver, and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. So all the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

18 And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the weaver in colours, 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.

The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high,

The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil—100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent per base.
