Making the Altar of Burnt Offering

1Then he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, five [†]cubits [†]long, and five cubits [†]wide, square, and three cubits [†]high. 2He made its horns on its four corners, its horns [†]being of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with [†]bronze. 3He made all the utensils of the altar, the pots and the shovels and the bowls, the flesh hooks and the firepans; he made all its utensils of bronze. 4He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze beneath, under its ledge, reaching halfway down. 5He cast four rings on the four ends of the bronze grating as holders for the poles. 6He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

Making the Laver of Bronze

8Moreover, he made the laver of bronze with its base of bronze, [†]from the mirrors of the serving women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

Making the Court

9Then he made the court: [†]for the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twisted linen, [†]one hundred cubits; 10their twenty pillars, and their twenty bases, made of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their [†]bands were of silver. 11For the north side there were one hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. 12For the west side there were hangings of [†]fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. 13For the east side toward the sunrise fifty cubits. 14The hangings for the one [†]side of the gate were [†]fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their 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. 16All the hangings of the court all around were of fine twisted linen. 17The bases for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver; and the overlaying of their tops were of silver, and all the pillars of the court were furnished with silver bands. 18The screen of the gate of the court was the work of the [†]weaver, of [†]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. And the length was [†]twenty cubits and the [†]height was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the court. 19Their four pillars and their four bases were of bronze; their hooks were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their bands were of silver. 20All the pegs of the [†]tabernacle and of the court all around were of bronze.

The Things Numbered for the Tabernacle

21These are the things numbered for the [†]tabernacle, the [†]tabernacle of the testimony, as they were [†]numbered according to the [†]command of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 22Now Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses. 23With him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and a skillful designer and a [†]weaver in [†]blue and in purple and in scarlet material and fine linen.

24All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was [†]29 talents and [†]730 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. 25The silver of those of the congregation who were [†]numbered was [†]100 talents and [†]1,775 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; 26a beka a head (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), for each one who passed over to those who were [†]numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men. 27One hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; one hundred bases for one hundred talents, a talent for a base. 28Of the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their tops and made bands for them. 29The bronze of the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels. 30With 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, 31and the bases of the court all around and the bases of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the [†]tabernacle and all the pegs of the court all around.
