English Standard Version

New Living Translation

1He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. Five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth. It was square, and three cubits was its height.

1Next Bezalel used acacia wood to construct the square altar of burnt offering. It was 7 1/2 feet wide, 7 1/2 feet long, and 4 1/2 feet high.

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

2He made horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar were all one piece. He overlaid the altar with bronze.

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

3Then he made all the altar utensils of bronze—the ash buckets, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans.

4And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down.

4Next he made a bronze grating and installed it halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge.

5He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles.

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

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

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

7And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, with boards.

7He inserted the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar. The altar was hollow and was made from planks. Building the Washbasin

8He made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered in the entrance of the tent of meeting.

8Bezalel made the bronze washbasin and its bronze stand from bronze mirrors donated by the women who served at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Building the Courtyard

9And he made the court. For the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;

9Then Bezalel made the courtyard, which was enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side the curtains were 150 feet long.

10their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

10They were held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.

11And for the north side there were hangings of a hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

11He made a similar set of curtains for the north side—150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts set securely in bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.

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

12The curtains on the west end of the courtyard were 75 feet long, hung with silver hooks and rings and supported by ten posts set into ten bases.

13And for the front to the east, fifty cubits.

13The east end, the front, was also 75 feet long.

14The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases.

14The courtyard entrance was on the east end, flanked by two curtains. The curtain on the right side was 22 1/2 feet long and was supported by three posts set into three bases.

15And so for the other side. On both sides of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases.

15The curtain on the left side was also 22 1/2 feet long and was supported by three posts set into three bases.

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

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

17And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. The overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.

17Each post had a bronze base, and all the hooks and rings were silver. The tops of the posts of the courtyard were overlaid with silver, and the rings to hold up the curtains were made of silver.

18And the screen for the gate of the court was embroidered with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It was twenty cubits long and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

18He made the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard of finely woven linen, and he decorated it with beautiful embroidery in blue, purple, and scarlet thread. It was 30 feet long, and its height was 7 1/2 feet, just like the curtains of the courtyard walls.

19And their pillars were four in number. Their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.

19It was supported by four posts, each set securely in its own bronze base. The tops of the posts were overlaid with silver, and the hooks and rings were also made of silver.

20And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court all around were of bronze.

20All the tent pegs used in the Tabernacle and courtyard were made of bronze. Inventory of Materials

21These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

21This is an inventory of the materials used in building the Tabernacle of the Covenant. The Levites compiled the figures, as Moses directed, and Ithamar son of Aaron the priest served as recorder.

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

22Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of 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 designer and embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.

23He was assisted by Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman expert at engraving, designing, and embroidering with blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth.

24All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and 730 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary.

24The people brought special offerings of gold totaling 2,193 pounds, as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. This gold was used throughout the Tabernacle.

25The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary:

25The whole community of Israel gave 7,545 pounds of silver, as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel.

26a beka a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone who was listed in the records, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men.

26This silver came from the tax collected from each man registered in the census. (The tax is one beka, which is half a shekel, based on the sanctuary shekel.) The tax was collected from 603,550 men who had reached their twentieth birthday.

27The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent a base.

27The hundred bases for the frames of the sanctuary walls and for the posts supporting the inner curtain required 7,500 pounds of silver, about 75 pounds for each base.

28And of the 1,775 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 and rings and to overlay the tops of the posts.

29The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels;

29The people also brought as special offerings 5,310 pounds of bronze,

30with it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar,

30which was used for casting the bases for the posts at the entrance to the Tabernacle, and for the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all the altar utensils.

31the bases around the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.

31Bronze was also used to make the bases for the posts that supported the curtains around the courtyard, the bases for the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard, and all the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and the courtyard.
