Exodus 38

1 And he made the altar of burnt-offering of shittim wood: five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth; it was foursquare, and three cubits was its height.

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 its horns on its four corners, from itself were its horns; and he overlaid it with copper.

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, and the forks, and the fire-pans: all its vessels made he of copper.

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, a network of copper, under its compass beneath, even unto the half of it.

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

5 And he cast four rings on the four corners of the grating of copper, as receptacles 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 shittim wood, and overlaid them with copper.

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, to bear it by means of them; hollow, of boards, made he it.

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 copper, and its foot of copper, of the mirrors of the assembled women who had assembled in troops at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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: on the south side, on the right, the hangings of the court were of twisted linen, of one 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, with their twenty sockets of copper; 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.

14 Hangings of fifteen cubits, were on the one wing: their pillars were 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 for the other wing, on both sides of the gate of the court, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars were three, and their sockets three.

16 all the hangings of the court round about were of twisted linen.

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

17 And the sockets for the pillars were of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets, of silver; and the overlaying of their tops was 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 hanging for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; and twenty cubits was the length, and the height, in the breadth, was five cubits, answering 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,

19 And the pillars for the same were four, with their four sockets of copper; their hooks were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their fillets, of silver.
