The Tabernacle Completed

38 ^(A)Then he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, ^[a]five cubits ^[b]long, and five cubits ^[c]wide, square, and three cubits ^[d]high. ² And he made its horns on its four corners, its horns ^[e]being of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with ^[f]bronze. ³ He also made all the utensils of the altar, the pails, the shovels, the basins, the meat-forks, and the firepans; he made all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ And he made for the altar a grating of bronze netting beneath, under its ledge, reaching halfway up. ⁵ He also cast four rings on the four ends of the bronze grating as holders for the poles. ⁶ He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. ⁷ Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

^8 (B)Moreover, he made the basin of bronze with its base of bronze, ^[g]from the mirrors of the serving women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

^9 (C)Then he made the courtyard: ^[h]for the south side the hangings of the courtyard were of fine twisted linen, a hundred cubits; ¹⁰ their twenty pillars, and their twenty bases, were made of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their ^[i]bands were of silver. ¹¹ For the north side there were a hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their ^[j]bands were of silver. ¹² For the west side there were hangings of fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their ^[k]bands were of silver. ¹³ For the ^[l]east side, fifty cubits. ¹⁴ The hangings for the one ^[m]side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases, ¹⁵ and so for the ^[n]other ^[o]side. ^[p]On both sides of the gate of the courtyard were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. ¹⁶ All the hangings of the courtyard all around were of fine twisted linen. ¹⁷ And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their ^[q]bands, of silver; and the overlaying of their tops, of silver, and all the pillars of the courtyard were furnished with silver ^[r]bands. ¹⁸ Now the curtain of the gate of the courtyard was the work of the ^[s]weaver, of ^[t]violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. And the length was twenty cubits and the ^[u]height was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard. ¹⁹ Their four pillars and their four bases were of bronze; their hooks were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their ^[v]bands were of silver. ²⁰ All the pegs of the ^[w]tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were of bronze.

The Cost of the Tabernacle

^21 [x]This is the number of the things for the ^[y]tabernacle, the ^[z]tabernacle of the testimony, as they were ^[aa]counted according to the ^[ab]command of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ²² Now ^(D)Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had commanded Moses. ²³ With him was ^(E)Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and a skilled embroiderer, and a ^[ac]weaver in violet, in purple, and in scarlet material, and fine linen.

²⁴ All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, ^[ad]which was the gold of the wave offering, was twenty-nine ^[ae]talents and 730 ^[af]shekels, according to ^(F)the shekel of the sanctuary. ²⁵ And ^(G)the silver of those of the congregation who were ^[ag]counted was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; ^26 (H)a beka a head (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), assessed to each one who passed over to those who were ^[ah]counted, from twenty years old and upward, for ^(I)603,550 men. ²⁷ The hundred talents of silver were used for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent for a base. ²⁸ And of the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their tops and made ^[ai]bands for them. ²⁹ And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels. ³⁰ With it he made the bases to the doorway of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, ³¹ and the bases of the courtyard all around and the bases of the gate of the courtyard, and all the pegs of the ^[aj]tabernacle and all the pegs of the courtyard all around.
