Exodus 38

1 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.

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.

2 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.

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

3 He made all the equipment for the altar—pots for ashes, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans. He made all this equipment with bronze.

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.

4 He made a grate for the altar, a network of bronze to be placed under the ledge, halfway down to the bottom.

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

5 He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grate, as holders for the poles.

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

6 Bezalel made poles of acacia wood and covered them with bronze.

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

7 He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it. He made the altar hollow, out of planks.

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.

8 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.

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.

9 He also made the courtyard. The hangings on the south side of the courtyard were of fine linen, one hundred cubits long.

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;

10 The hangings had twenty posts, with twenty bronze bases. There were hooks attached to the posts, as well as silver rods.

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

11 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.

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.

12 The hangings of the west side were fifty cubits long, with ten posts and bases. The hooks and rods of the posts were silver.

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.

13 The courtyard was also fifty cubits long on the east side.

And for the front side, eastward, fifty cubits.

14 The hangings for one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long. They had three posts with three bases.

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

15 On the other side of the entrance of the courtyard were also hangings fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

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 around the courtyard were made of fine linen.

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

17 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.

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.

18 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.

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.

19 It had four bronze bases and silver hooks. The covering for their tops and its rods were made of silver.

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.

20 All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and courtyard were made of bronze.

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

21 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.

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.

22 Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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

23 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.

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.

24 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.

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.

25 The silver given by the community weighed one hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel,

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:

26 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.

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.

27 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.

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.

28 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.

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

29 The bronze from wave offering weighed seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.

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

30 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,

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;

31 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.

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.
