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.

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

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

the horns of which proceeded from the corners. And he covered it with layers of brass.

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.

And for its uses, he prepared diverse vessels out of brass: kettles, forceps, little hooks, larger hooks, and receptacles for the fire.

4 And he made for the altar a grating, a network of copper, under its compass beneath, even unto the half of it.

And he made its grating of brass, in the manner of a net, and under it, in the midst of the altar, its base,

5 And he cast four rings on the four corners of the grating of copper, as receptacles for the staves.

casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.

6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with copper.

These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.

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.

And he drew them through the rings, which projected from the sides of the altar. But the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, made from panels and empty inside.

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.

He also made the washtub of brass, with its base made from the mirrors of the women who kept watch at the door of the tabernacle.

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;

He also made the atrium, at the south side of which were hangings of fine twisted linen of one hundred cubits and

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

twenty columns of brass with their bases. The heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.

11 And for the north side one hundred cubits; their pillars were twenty, with their twenty sockets of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

Equally, at the northern area, the hangings, the columns, and the bases and heads of the columns were of the same measure and work and metal.

12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars were ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

Yet truly, on that side which looks out toward the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns with their bases of brass. And the heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.

13 And for the front side, eastward, fifty cubits.

Furthermore, toward the east, he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:

14 Hangings of fifteen cubits, were on the one wing: their pillars were three, and their sockets three.

of which, there were fifteen cubits, among three columns with their bases, holding up one side,

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.

and on the other side, (for between the two he made the entrance of the tabernacle) there were equally hangings of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and the same number of bases.

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

All the hangings of the atrium were woven from fine twisted 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 of the columns were of brass, but their heads with all of their engravings were of silver. Now he also overlaid the columns of the atrium themselves 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.

And he made, at its entrance, a hanging, wrought with embroidery, of hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, which held twenty cubits in length, yet truly it was five cubits in height, as with the measure of all the hangings of the atrium.

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.

Now the columns at the entrance were four, with bases of brass, and their heads and engravings were of silver.

20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about were of copper.

Likewise, the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium all around he made of brass.

21 These are the accounts [of the articles furnished] for the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted, according to the order of Moses, the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron, the priest.

These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were enumerated according to the instruction of Moses, with the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest,

22 And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur from the tribe of Judah, had completed, just as the Lord decreed through Moses.

23 And with him was Aholiab the son of Achissamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful weaver, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet yarn, and in linen thread.

He was joined by his associate, Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, who himself was also an exceptional artisan of wood, and of weaving, as well as of embroidery, with hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine linen.

24 All the gold that was applied to the work in all the work of the sanctuary, to wit, the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

All of the gold that was expended in the work of the Sanctuary, and that was offered in donation, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the measure of the Sanctuary.

25 And the silver of those that were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

Now it was offered by those who were past the numbering of twenty years and above: from six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.

26 A bekah for every head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

There were, beyond that, one hundred talents of silver, from which were cast the bases for the Sanctuary and for the entrance where the veil hangs.

27 And the hundred talents of silver served to cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail: one hundred sockets to the hundred talents, a talent for every socket.

One hundred bases were made from one hundred talents, a single talent being counted for each base.

28 And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their tops and filleted them.

But from one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, he made the heads of the columns, which he also clothed with silver.

29 And the copper of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

Likewise, of brass, there was offered seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred more shekels,

30 And he made therewith the sockets of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar of copper, and the grating of copper for it, and all the vessels of the altar;

from which were cast the bases at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with its grating, and the vessels which pertain to its use,

31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the socket of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

and the bases of the atrium, as much at the circumference as at its entrance, and the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the atrium all round.
