Exodus 38

1And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.

1Then Bezalel built the altar for burnt offerings out of acacia wood. It was square, seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide, and it stood four and a half feet high.

2And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with brass.

2He made a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar were all one piece, and he covered the altar with bronze.

3And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.

3He made all the tools for the altar out of bronze: the pots, shovels, basins, meat forks, and fire pans.

4And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge round it beneath, reaching halfway up.

4He made a bronze grate for the altar and put it under the ledge, halfway up from the bottom.

5And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves.

5He cast four bronze rings to hold the carrying poles and attached them to the four corners of the bronze grate.

6And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass.

6He made the poles out of acacia wood and covered them with bronze.

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

7He slid the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar so it could be carried. The altar was hollow, made out of boards.

8And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the ministering women that ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.

8He made the large bronze washbasin and its bronze stand from the mirrors donated by the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

9And he made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;

9Then he made the courtyard. The south side was one hundred fifty feet long and had curtains made of finely woven linen.

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

10This side had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and silver bands on the posts.

11And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.

11The north side was also one hundred fifty feet long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands for the posts.

12And 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.

12The west side was seventy-five feet wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver.

13And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.

13The east side, toward the sunrise, was also seventy-five feet wide.

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

14The curtains on one side of the entrance were twenty-two and a half feet long, with three posts and three bases.

15and 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.

15The curtains on the other side of the entrance were also twenty-two and a half feet long, with three posts and three bases.

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

16All the curtains around the courtyard were made of finely woven linen.

17And 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.

17The bases for the posts were bronze, but the hooks and bands were silver. The tops of the posts were covered with silver, and all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

18And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.

18The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of fine linen embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet thread. It was thirty feet long and seven and a half feet high, matching the height of the courtyard curtains.

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

19It hung on four posts with four bronze bases. Their hooks, the plating on their tops, and their bands were all silver.

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

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

21This is the sum of the things 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.

21This is an inventory of the materials used for the Tabernacle—the Tabernacle of the Covenant. The list was compiled by the Levites at the direction of Moses, under the leadership of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

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

22Bezalel son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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

23He was helped by Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, who was a skilled craftsman, a designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet thread and fine linen.

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

24The total amount of gold from the offerings used for all the work on the sanctuary was about 2,200 pounds, according to the standard weight of the sanctuary.

25And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:

25The silver collected from the men who were registered in the census was about 7,545 pounds, according to the standard weight of the sanctuary.

26a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.

26This silver came from a tax of one beka—which is half a shekel—for each person registered. There were 603,550 men who were twenty years old or older.

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

27The 7,500 pounds of silver was used to cast the one hundred bases for the sanctuary walls and the inner curtain—75 pounds for each base.

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

28The remaining 45 pounds of silver was used to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make the bands for them.

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

29The bronze from the offerings totaled about 5,300 pounds.

30And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar,

30It was used to make the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grate, and all the tools for the altar.

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

31It was also used to make the bases for the courtyard curtains, the bases for the courtyard entrance, and all the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and the courtyard.
