Exodus 38

1 The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,

He made also the altar of holocaust of setim wood, five cubits square, and three in height:

2 And he put horns at its four angles made of the same, plating it all with brass;

The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of brass.

3 And brass was used for all the vessels of the altar, the baskets and the spades, the basins and the meat-hooks and the fire-trays; all the vessels he made of brass

And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks, and firepans.

4 And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;

And he made the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth,

5 And four rings for the four angles of this network, to take the rods.

Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it.

6 The rods he made of hard wood plated with brass.

And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of brass:

7 He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

And he drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within.

8 And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of the Tent of meeting.

He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watch at the door of the tabernacle.

9 To make the open space, he put hangings on the south side, of the best linen, a hundred cubits long:

He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen, of a hundred cubits,

10 Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were brass; and the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the heads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver.

11 And for the north side. hangings a hundred cubits long, on twenty brass pillars in brass bases, with silver hooks and bands.

In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and the sockets and heads of the pillars were of the same measure, and work and metal.

12 And on the west side, hangings fifty cubits long, on ten pillars in ten bases, with silver bands.

But on that side that looketh to the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, ten pillars of brass with their sockets, and the heads of the pillars, and all the graving of the work, of silver.

13 And on the east side, the open space was fifty cubits long.

Moreover towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:

14 The hangings on one side of the doorway were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases;

Fifteen cubits of which were on one side with three pillars, and their sockets:

15 And the same on the other side of the doorway; on this side and on that the hangings were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases.

And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets.

16 All the hangings were of the best linen.

All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen.

17 And the bases of the pillars were of brass; their hooks and the bands round the tops of them were of silver; all the pillars were ringed with silver.

The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also with silver.

18 And the curtain for the doorway of the open space was of the best linen, with designs of blue and purple and red in needlework; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high, to go with the hangings round the sides.

And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high according to the measure of all the hangings of the court.

19 There were four pillars with their bases, all of brass, the hooks being of silver, and their tops and their bands being covered with silver.

And the pillars in the entry were four with sockets of brass, and their heads and gravings of silver.

20 All the nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.

The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made of brass.

21 This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest:

22 Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

Which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda had made as the Lord commanded by Moses,

23 And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; a designer and a trained workman, expert in needlework of blue and purple and red and the best linen.

Having for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan: who also was an excellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.

24 The gold used for all the different work done for the holy place, the gold which was given, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary.

25 And the silver given by those who were numbered of the people was a hundred talents, and a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.

26 A beka, that is, half a shekel by the holy scale, for everyone who was numbered; there were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men of twenty years old and over.

There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth.

27 Of this silver, a hundred talents was used for making the bases of the pillars of the holy place and of the veil; a talent for every base.

A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent being reckoned for every socket.

28 And a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels of silver was used to make the hooks for the pillars, and for plating the tops of the pillars and for making their bands.

And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver.

29 The brass which was given was seventy talents, two thousand four hundred shekels;

And there were offered of brass also seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred sicles besides.

30 From it he made the bases of the doorway of the Tent of meeting and the brass altar and the network for it and all the vessels for the altar,

Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and all the vessels that belong to the use thereof.

31 And the bases for the open space all round and for its doorway, and all the nails for the House and for the open space.

And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle and of the court round about.
