Exodus 38

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

And Beseleel made the ark,

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

and overlaid it with pure gold within and without;

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

and he cast for it four golden rings, two on the one side, and two on the other,

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

wide [enough] for the staves, so that men should bear the ark with them.

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

And he made the propitiatory over the ark of pure gold,

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

and the two cherubs of gold;

7 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.

one cherub on the one end of the propitiatory, and another cherub on the other end of the propitiatory,

8 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.

overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.

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

And he made the set table of pure gold,

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

and cast for it four rings: two on the one side and two on the other side, broad, so that [men] should lift it with the staves in them.

11 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.

And he made the staves of the ark and of the table, and gilded them with gold.

12 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.

And he made the furniture of the table, both the dishes, and the censers, and the cups, and the bowls with which he should offer drink-offerings, of gold.

13 Moreover towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:

And he made the candlestick which gives light, of gold;

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

the stem solid, and the branches from both its sides;

15 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.

and blossoms proceeding from its branches, three on this side, and three on the other, made equal to each other.

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

And [as to] their lamps, which are on the ends, knops [proceeded] from them; and sockets proceeding from them, that the lamps might be upon them; and the seventh socket, on the top of the candlestick, on the summit above, entirely of solid gold.

17 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.

And on the candlestick seven golden lamps, and its snuffers gold, and its funnels gold.

18 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.

He overlaid the posts [with silver], and cast for each post golden rings, and gilded the bars with gold; and he gilded the posts of the veil with gold, and made the hooks of gold.

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

He made also the rings of the tabernacle of gold; and the rings of the court, and the rings for drawing out the veil above of brass.

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

He cast the silver chapiters of the tabernacle, and the brazen chapiters of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court; and he made silver hooks for the posts, he overlaid them with silver on the posts.

21 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:

He made the pins of the tabernacle and the pins of the court of brass.

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

He made the brazen altar of the brazen censers, which belonged to the men engaged in sedition with the gathering of Core.

23 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.

He made all the vessels of the altar and its grate, and its base, and its bowls, and the brazen flesh hooks.

24 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.

He made an appendage for the altar of network under the grate, beneath it as far as the middle of it; and he fastened to it four brazen rings on the four parts of the appendage of the altar, wide [enough] for the bars, so as to bear the altar with them.

25 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.

He made the holy anointing oil and the composition of the incense, the pure work of the perfumer.

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

He made the brazen laver, and the brazen base of it of the mirrors of the women that fasted, who fasted by the doors of the tabernacle of witness, in the day in which he set it up.

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

And he made the laver, that at it Moses and Aaron and his sons might wash their hands and their feet: when they went into the tabernacle of witness, or whenever they should advance to the altar to do service, they washed at it, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

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

30 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 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.
