Exodus 38

1He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

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

3He made all the utensils for the altar: the pots, the shovels, the basins, the meat forks, and the firepans. He made all its utensils of bronze.

4He made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, under its ledge, reaching halfway up the altar from the bottom.

5He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating to hold the poles.

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

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

8He made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

9Then he made the courtyard. For the south side the hangings of the courtyard were of finely twisted linen, one hundred cubits long,

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

11For the north side the hangings were also one hundred cubits long, with their twenty posts and their twenty bronze bases. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver.

12For the west side there were hangings fifty cubits long, with their ten posts and their ten bases. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver.

13For the east side, toward the sunrise, the courtyard was fifty cubits wide.

14On one side of the gate the hangings were fifteen cubits long, with their three posts and their three bases.

15On the other side of the gate of the courtyard, so that there were hangings on both sides, the hangings were also fifteen cubits long, with their three posts and their three bases.

16All the hangings around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen.

17The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. All the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

18The screen for the gate of the courtyard was the work of an embroiderer, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen. It was twenty cubits long, and its height, measured by its width, was five cubits, matching the hangings of the courtyard.

19It had four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, and their tops and their bands were overlaid with silver.

20All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard around it were bronze.

21This is the inventory of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which was recorded at Moses’ command, the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

22Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses.

23With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, a designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen.

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

25The silver from those of the community who were counted came to one hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the sanctuary shekel,

26a beka per person, that is, half a shekel by the sanctuary shekel, from everyone who crossed over to those counted, from twenty years old and up, 603,550 in all.

27The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the bases for the sanctuary and the bases for the curtain, one hundred bases from the hundred talents, a talent for each base.

28From the 1,775 shekels he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and made bands for them.

29The bronze from the wave offering came to seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.

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

31the bases for the courtyard all around, the bases for the gate of the courtyard, all the tent pegs of the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs for the courtyard all around.
