1He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood; five cubits was its length and five cubits its width—square—and three cubits its height.
2He made its horns on its four corners; its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.
3He made all the vessels of the altar—the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire-pans; all its vessels he made of bronze.
4He made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, reaching downward to its middle.
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 to carry it by them; he made it hollow, of planks.
8He made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the serving women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
9He made the courtyard: for the south side, southward, the hangings of the courtyard were of finely twisted linen, a hundred cubits;
10their pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver.
11For the north side, a hundred cubits; their pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver.
12For the west side, hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten and their bases ten; the hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver.
13For the east side, eastward, fifty cubits.
14The hangings for the one shoulder were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases;
15and for the second shoulder, on this side and that of the courtyard gate, hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases.
16All the hangings of the courtyard all around were of finely twisted linen.
17The bases for the pillars were of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver, and the overlay of their tops of silver; and all the pillars 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; twenty cubits was the length, and the height, in the width, was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard.
19Their pillars were four and their bases four, of bronze; their hooks of silver, and the overlay of their tops and their bands of silver.
20And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard all around were of bronze.
21These are the accounts of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which were reckoned at the command of Moses, the service of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
22And Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.
23And with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and designer and embroiderer in the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and in the fine linen.
24All the gold used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary—the gold of the wave offering—was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary.
25And the silver from those of the congregation who were counted was a hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary:
26a beka per head—half a shekel by the shekel of the sanctuary—for everyone who passed over to those counted, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men.
27The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil: a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent per base.
28And of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their tops, and banded them.
29And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels.
30With it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the vessels of the altar,
31and the bases for the courtyard all around, and the bases for the gate of the courtyard, and all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs of the courtyard all around.
