Exodus 38:1-23 ▼

1 And he makes the altar of burnt-offering of shittim wood; five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth (square), and three cubits its height;

2 and he makes its horns on its four corners; its horns have been of the same; and he overlays it with bronze;

3 and he makes all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the sprinkling-pans, the forks, and the fire-pans; he has made all its vessels of bronze.

4 And he makes a bronze grate of network for the altar, under its rim beneath, to its midst;

5 and he casts four rings for the four ends of the bronze grate—places for bars;

6 and he makes the poles of shittim wood, and overlays them with bronze;

7 and he brings in the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with them; he made it hollow [with] boards.

8 And he makes the laver of bronze, and its base of bronze, with the mirrors of the women assembling, who have assembled at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.

9 And he makes the court: at the south side southward, the hangings of the court of twined linen, one hundred by the cubit,

10 their pillars [are] twenty, and their bronze sockets twenty, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] silver;

11 and at the north side, one hundred by the cubit, their pillars [are] twenty, and their sockets of bronze twenty; the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] silver;

12 and at the west side [are] hangings, fifty by the cubit; their pillars [are] ten, and their sockets ten; the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] silver;

13 and at the east side eastward, fifty cubits.

14 The hangings on the side [are] fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three,

15 and at the second side at the gate of the court, on this [side] and on that [side]—hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three;

16 all the hangings of the court around [are] of twined linen,

17 and the sockets for the pillars of bronze, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets of silver, and the overlaying of their tops of silver, and all the pillars of the court are filleted with silver.

18 And the covering of the gate of the court [is] the work of an embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen; and twenty cubits [is] the length, and the height with the breadth [is] five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the court;

19 and their pillars [are] four, and their sockets of bronze four, their pegs [are] of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their fillets [are] of silver;

20 and all the pins for the Dwelling Place, and for the court all around, [are] of bronze.

21 These are the numberings of the Dwelling Place (the Dwelling Place of Testimony), which has been numbered by the command of Moses, the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

22 And Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, has made all that YHWH commanded Moses;

23 and with him [is] Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and designer and embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in linen.
