CHAPTER 38

¹And he made the burnt-offering altar of acacia wood, five cubits its length and five cubits its width, square, and three cubits its height. ²And he made its horns on its four corners, from the same piece were its horns, and he overlaid it with bronze. ³And he made all the vessels of the altar, and the pails and the shovels and the basins and the flesh-hooks and the fire-pans, all its vessels he made of bronze. ⁴And he made a meshwork bronze grating for the altar beneath its ledge from below halfway up. ⁵And he cast four rings at the four corners of the bronze grating as housings for the poles. ⁶And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. ⁷And he brought the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it, hollow boarded he made it.

⁸And he made the laver of bronze and its stand of bronze from the mirrors of the women who flocked to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

⁹And he made the court for the southern side, the hangings of the court were twisted linen, a hundred cubits. ¹⁰Their posts twenty and their sockets twenty, of bronze. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver. ¹¹And for the northern side, a hundred cubits, their posts twenty and their sockets twenty, of bronze. The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver. ¹²And for the western side, hangings of fifty cubits. Their posts ten and their sockets ten, the hooks of the posts and their bands were silver. ¹³And to the very east, fifty cubits, ¹⁴hangings of fifteen cubits to the flank, their posts three and their sockets three. ¹⁵And for the other flank on each side of the gate of the court hangings of fifteen cubits, their posts three and their sockets three. ¹⁶All the hangings of the court all around were twisted linen. ¹⁷And the sockets for the posts were bronze, the hooks of the posts and their bands silver and the overlay of their tops silver, and they were banded with silver, all the posts of the court. ¹⁸And the screen of the gate of the court was embroiderer’s work, indigo and purple and crimson and twisted linen. And it was twenty cubits in length and a height in the width of five cubits over against the hangings of the court. ¹⁹And their posts four and their sockets four, of bronze. Their hooks were silver and the overlay of their tops and their bands silver. ²⁰And all the pegs for the Tabernacle and for the court all around were bronze.

²¹These are the reckonings of the Tabernacle, the Tabernacle of the Covenant, that were reckoned by the word of Moses, the service of the Levites in the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. ²²And Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur from the tribe of Judah made all that the LORD had charged Moses. ²³And with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan, wood carver and designer and embroiderer in indigo and in purple and in crimson and in linen. ²⁴All the gold that was fashioned for the task in every task of the sanctuary, the elevation-offering gold was twenty-nine talents or seven hundred thirty shekels by the sancturary shekel. ²⁵And the silver reckoned from the community was a hundred talents or one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels by the sanctuary shekel. ²⁶A beqa to the head, half a shekel by the sanctuary shekel for each who underwent the reckoning from twenty years old and above, for six hundred thousand and three thousand five hundred and fifty. ²⁷And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the curtain, a hundred sockets for a hundred talents, a talent for a socket. ²⁸And from the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the posts and overlaid their tops and banded them. ²⁹And the elevation-offering bronze was seventy talents or two thousand four hundred shekels. ³⁰And he made with it the sockets for the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and the bronze altar and the bronze grating that belongs to it and all the furnishings of the altar, ³¹and the sockets of the court all around and the sockets for the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the Tabernacle and all the pegs of the court all around.
