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

And he made the propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,

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

and the two cherubs of gold;

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.

one cherub on the one end of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,

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.

overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.

9 He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits;

And he made the set table of pure gold,

10 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

and cast for it four rings: two on the one side and two on the other side, broad, so that [men] should lift it with the staves in them.

And he made the candlestick which gives light, of gold;

14 the hangings for the one side were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three;

the stem solid, and the branches from both its sides;

15 and so for the other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other.

16 All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen.

And [as to] their lamps, which are on the ends, knops [proceeded] from them; and sockets proceeding from them, that the lamps might be upon them; and the seventh socket, on the top of the candlestick, on the summit above, entirely of solid gold.

17 The sockets for the pillars were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. Their capitals were overlaid with silver. All the pillars of the court had silver bands.

And on the candlestick seven golden lamps, and its snuffers gold, and its funnels gold.

18 The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Twenty cubits was the length, and the height along the width was five cubits, like the hangings of the court.

He overlaid the posts [with silver], and cast for each post golden rings, and gilded the bars with gold; and he gilded the posts of the veil with gold, and made the hooks of gold.

19 Their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of bronze; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver.

He made the pins of the tabernacle and the pins of the court of brass.

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

He made the brazen altar of the brazen censers, which belonged to the men engaged in sedition with the gathering of Core.

He made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, and its base, and its bowls, and the brazen flesh-hooks.

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 and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

He made an appendage for the altar of network under the grate, beneath it as far as the middle of it; and he fastened to it four brazen rings on the four parts of the appendage of the altar, wide [enough] for the bars, so as to bear the altar with them.

25 The silver of those who were counted of the congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand and seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary:

He made the brazen laver, and the brazen base of it of the mirrors of the women that fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, in the day in which he set it up.

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, one talent per socket.

And he made the laver, that at it Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet: when they went into the tabernacle of witness, or whensoever they should advance to the altar to do service, they washed at it, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

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

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.
