Exodus 38:1-29 ▼

1 And He made the altar of the burnt offering of acacia wood, five cubits its length, and five cubits its width—square—and three cubits its height.

2 And He made its horns on the four corners; its horns were from it. And he overlaid it with bronze.

3 And He made all the vessels of the altar: The pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the forks, and the firepans; all its vessels he made of bronze.

4 And he made for the altar a grate of work of net of bronze under its ledge from below up to its middle.

5 And He cast four rings for the four corners, for the grate of bronze, as holders for the poles.

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

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

8 And he made the basin of bronze, and its stand of bronze, with mirros of the serving women who served at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

9 And he made the court on the south side southward. The hangings of the court were of finely woven linen, a hundred by the cubit,

10 with their twenty pillars and twenty bronze bases. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver.

11 And the north side was a hundred by the cubit, with twenty pillars and twenty bronze bases. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver.

12 And on the west side were hangings fifty by the cubit, with ten pillars and ten bases. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver.

13 And the east side toward the sunrise was fifty cubits.

14 The hangings on one side were five and ten cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases.

15 And on the second side at the gate of the court, from this and from that, were hangings of five and ten cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases.

16 All the hangings of the court were of finely woven linen all around.

17 And the bases for the pillars were bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver, and the overlay of their tops was silver, and they—all the pillars of the court—had bands of silver.

18 And the screen of the gate of the court, the work of a weaver was of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely woven linen. And twenty cubits was the length, and the height along its width was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

19 And there were four pillars and their four bases of bronze; their hooks were silver, and the overlay of their tops and their bands was silver.

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

21 These are the numberings of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the Testimony, which were counted by the mouth of Moses, the service of the Levites by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

22 And Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, did all that YHWH had commanded Moses.

23 And with him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer and weaver in the blue and in the purple and in the scarlet yarn, and in the fine linen.

24 All the gold used for the work in all the work of the Holy Place (and it was the gold of the wave offering) was nine and twenty talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

25 And the silver of those numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand and seven hundred and five and seventy shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary—

26 a bekah per head, that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who had passed over to be numbered, from a son of twenty years old and above, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.

27 And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the Holy Place and the bases of the veil—a hundred bases for the hundred talents, one talent per base.

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

29 And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
