Exodus 38

1 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square. Its length was eight feet seven inches, its breadth was eight feet seven inches, and its height was five feet two inches.

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

2 He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

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

3 He made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its vessels of bronze.

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

4 He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up.

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 He cast four rings for the four ends of bronze grating, to be places for the poles.

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

6 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze.

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

7 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

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 He made the basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, out of the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

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 He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred seventy-two feet three inches;

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 thirty-four feet five inches, and their sockets thirty-four feet five inches, of bronze; 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 For the north side one hundred seventy-two feet three inches; their pillars thirty-four feet five inches, and their sockets thirty-four feet five inches, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, 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 For the west side were hangings of eighty-six feet one inch, their pillars seventeen feet three inches, and their sockets seventeen feet three inches; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, 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 For the east side eastward eighty-six feet one inch.

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

14 The hangings for the one side were twenty-five feet ten inches; their pillars five feet two inches, and their sockets five feet two inches;

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

15 and so for the other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of twenty-five feet ten inches; their pillars five feet two inches, and their sockets five feet two inches.

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 around the court were of fine twined linen.

All the hangings of the atrium were woven from fine twisted linen.

17 The sockets for the pillars were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals, 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 The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Thirty-four feet five inches was the length, and the height in the breadth was eight feet seven inches, like 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 Their pillars were six feet eleven inches, and their sockets six feet eleven inches, of bronze; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, 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 All the pins of the tabernacle, and around the court, were of bronze.

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

21 This is the amount of material used for the tabernacle, even the Tabernacle of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for 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 Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD 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 With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.

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 used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred 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 The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-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 beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men.

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 The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for the one hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

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

28 Of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them.

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

29 The bronze of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four hundred shekels.

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

30 With this he made the sockets to the door of the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, 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 the sockets around the court, the sockets of the gate of the court, all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins around the court.

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.
