Exodus 38

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

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 the four corners of it; its horns were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.

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 flesh-hooks, and the fire-pans: all the vessels of it he made [of] brass.

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 brazen grate of net-work under the compass of it beneath to the midst 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 for the four ends of the grate of brass, [to be] places for the staffs.

At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles.

6 And he made the staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.

And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7 And he put the staffs into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it with; he made the altar hollow with boards.

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] brass, and the foot of it [of] brass, of the looking-glasses of [the women] assembling, who assembled [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 southward the hangings of the court [were of] fine twined linen, a 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, and their brazen sockets twenty; 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.

11 And for the north side, [the hangings were] a hundred cubits, their pillars [were] twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty: the hooks of the pillars, and their filets, [of] silver.

The north side was also a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

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

The west side was fifty cubits long and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.

And the east side, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits long.

14 The hangings of the one side [of the gate were] fifteen cubits; their pillars 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 side of the court-gate, on this hand and that hand, [were] hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

And the curtains on the other side were also fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases as well.

16 All the hangings of the court round about [were] of fine twined linen.

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

17 And the sockets for the pillars [were of] brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, [of] silver; and the overlaying of their capitals [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] needle-work, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits [was] the length, and the hight in the breadth [was] five cubits, answerable 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 their pillars [were] four, and their sockets [of] brass four; their hooks [of] silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets [of] silver.

with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, as well as the bands and the plating of their tops.

20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, [were of] brass.

All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, [even] of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, [for] the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.

This is the inventory for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the Testimony, as recorded at Moses’ command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

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

23 And with him [was] Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.

With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen.

24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy [place], even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.

All the gold from the wave offering used for the work on the sanctuary totaled 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

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

The silver from those numbered among the congregation totaled 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel—

26 A bekah for every man, [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 [men].

a beka per person, that is, half a shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone twenty years of age or older who had crossed over to be numbered, a total of 603,550 men.

27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil—100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent per base.

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

With the 1,775 shekels of silver he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and supplied bands for them.

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

The bronze from the wave offering totaled 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.

30 And with this he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,

He used it to make the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grating, all the utensils for the altar,

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

the bases for the surrounding courtyard and its gate, and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and its surrounding courtyard.
