Exodus 38
1 And Beseleel made the ark,
Bezalel made the altar for burnt offerings of acacia wood. It was five cubits long and five cubits wide—a square—and three cubits high.
2 and overlaid it with pure gold within and without;
He made extensions of its four corners shaped like ox horns. The horns were made of one piece with the altar, and he covered it with bronze.
3 and he cast for it four golden rings, two on the one side, and two on the other,
He made all the equipment for the altar—pots for ashes, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans. He made all this equipment with bronze.
4 wide [enough] for the staves, so that men should bear the ark with them.
He made a grate for the altar, a network of bronze to be placed under the ledge, halfway down to the bottom.
5 And he made the propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,
He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grate, as holders for the poles.
6 and the two cherubs of gold;
Bezalel made poles of acacia wood and covered them with bronze.
7 one cherub on the one end of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,
He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it. He made the altar hollow, out of planks.
8 overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.
Bezalel made the large bronze basin with a bronze stand. He made the basin out of mirrors belonging to the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
9 And he made the set table of pure gold,
He also made the courtyard. The hangings on the south side of the courtyard were of fine linen, one hundred cubits long.
10 and cast for it four rings: two on the one side and two on the other side, broad, so that [men] should lift it with the staves in them.
The hangings had twenty posts, with twenty bronze bases. There were hooks attached to the posts, as well as silver rods.
11 And he made the staves of the ark and of the table, and gilded them with gold.
Likewise along the north side, there were hangings one hundred cubits long with twenty posts, twenty bronze bases, hooks attached to the posts, and silver rods.
12 And he made the furniture of the table, both the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the bowls with which he should offer drink-offerings, of gold.
The hangings of the west side were fifty cubits long, with ten posts and bases. The hooks and rods of the posts were silver.
13 And he made the candlestick which gives light, of gold;
The courtyard was also fifty cubits long on the east side.
14 the stem solid, and the branches from both its sides;
The hangings for one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long. They had three posts with three bases.
15 and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other.
On the other side of the entrance of the courtyard were also hangings fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.
16 And [as to] their lamps, which are on the ends, knops [proceeded] from them; and sockets proceeding from them, that the lamps might be upon them; and the seventh socket, on the top of the candlestick, on the summit above, entirely of solid gold.
All the hangings around the courtyard were made of fine linen.
17 And on the candlestick seven golden lamps, and its snuffers gold, and its funnels gold.
The bases for the posts were made of bronze. The hooks and rods for the posts were made of silver, and the covering for the tops of the posts was also made of silver. All the courtyard posts were covered with silver.
18 He overlaid the posts [with silver], and cast for each post golden rings, and gilded the bars with gold; and he gilded the posts of the veil with gold, and made the hooks of gold.
The curtain at the courtyard gate was twenty cubits long. The curtain was made of blue, purple, and scarlet linen, fine twined linen, and was twenty cubits long. It was twenty cubits in length and five cubits in height, like the courtyard curtains.
19 He made also the rings of the tabernacle of gold; and the rings of the court, and the rings for drawing out the veil above of brass.
It had four bronze bases and silver hooks. The covering for their tops and its rods were made of silver.
20 He cast the silver chapiters of the tabernacle, and the brazen chapiters of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court; and he made silver hooks for the posts, he overlaid them with silver on the posts.
All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and courtyard were made of bronze.
21 He made the pins of the tabernacle and the pins of the court of brass.
This is the inventory of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the covenant decrees, as it was taken following Moses' instructions. It was the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
22 He made the brazen altar of the brazen censers, which belonged to the men engaged in sedition with the gathering of Core.
Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
23 He made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, and its base, and its bowls, and the brazen flesh hooks.
Oholiab son of Ahisamak, from the tribe of Dan, worked with Bezalel as an engraver, as a skillful workman, and as an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and in fine linen.
24 He made an appendage for the altar of network under the grate, beneath it as far as the middle of it; and he fastened to it four brazen rings on the four parts of the appendage of the altar, wide [enough] for the bars, so as to bear the altar with them.
All the gold that was used for the project, in all the work connected with the holy place—the gold from the wave offering—was twenty-nine talents and 730 shekels, measured by the standard of the sanctuary shekel.
25 He made the holy anointing oil and the composition of the incense, the pure work of the perfumer.
The silver given by the community weighed one hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel,
26 He made the brazen laver, and the brazen base of it of the mirrors of the women that fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, in the day in which he set it up.
or one beka per man, which is half a shekel, measured by the sanctuary shekel. This figure was reached on the basis of every person who was counted in the census, those twenty years old and older—603,550 men in all.
27 And he made the laver, that at it Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet: when they went into the tabernacle of witness, or whenever they should advance to the altar to do service, they washed at it, as the Lord commanded Moses.
One hundred talents of silver were cast for the bases of the holy place and the curtain's bases—one hundred bases, one talent for each base.
With the remaining 1,775 shekels of silver, Bezalel made the hooks for the posts, covered the tops of the posts, and made the rods for them.
The bronze from wave offering weighed seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.
With this he made the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar, its bronze grate, all the equipment for the altar,
the bases for the courtyard, the bases for the courtyard entrance, all the tent pegs for the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs for the courtyard.
