Exodus 38

1 And he made the altar for the ascending-sacrifice of acacia wood, —five cubits, the length thereof and, five cubits, the breadth thereof foursquare, and, three cubits, the height thereof.

And Beseleel made the ark,

2 And he made the horns thereof, upon the four corners thereof, of the same, were the horns thereof, —and he overlaid it with bronze.

and overlaid it with pure gold within and without;

3 And he made all the utensils of the altar—the pans and the shovels, and the sprinkling bowls, the flesh-hooks and the fire-pans, —all the utensils thereof, made he of bronze.

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

4 And he made to the altar a grating, of network of bronze, —under the margin thereof beneath as far as the midst thereof.

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

5 And he cast four rings in the four corners to the grating of bronze, —as receptacles for the staves,

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

6 And he made the staves of acacia wood, —and overlaid them with bronze.

and the two cherubs of gold;

7 And he brought the staves into the rings, upon the sides of the altar, to lift it therewith, —hollow with boards, did he make it.

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

8 And he made the laver of bronze, and the stand thereof of bronze, —with the mirrors of the female hosts who did service at the opening of the tent of meeting.

overshadowing the propitiatory with their wings.

9 And he made the court, —on the south side southward, the hangings of the court of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;

And he made the set table of pure gold,

10 their pillars, twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze, —the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, 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 and, on the north side, a hundred cubits, their pillars, twenty, and, their sockets twenty, of bronze, —the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, of silver.

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

12 And on the west side, hangings, fifty cubits, their pillars, ten, and, their sockets, ten, —and, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods, 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 And on the east side towards the dawn, fifty cubits:

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

14 hangings, fifteen cubits, for the side-piece, —their pillars, three, and, their sockets three;

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

15 and, for the second sidepiece on this side and on that of the gate of the court, hangings, fifteen cubits, —their pillars three, and their sockets, three.

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 round about were of fine twined 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 And, the sockets for the pillars, were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver, —and the overlaying of their capitals, was silver, —and, they themselves, were filleted with silver, even all the pillars of the court,

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

18 And, the screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer, blue and purple and crimson, and fine-twined linen, —and, twenty cubits, in length, and the height, according to the breadth, of five cubits, to match the curtains 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, their pillars, were four, and, their sockets, four, of bronze, —their hooks, of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their connecting-rods, 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 And, all the pins for the habitation, and for the court round about, of bronze.

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 details of the habitation—the habitation of testimony, which were detailed at the bidding of Moses, —the service 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 So then Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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

23 And, with him, was Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an artificer and skilful weaver, —and an embroiderer—in blue, and in purple and in crimson and in 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 As for all the gold that was used for, the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, it came to pass that the gold of the wave-offering was nine-and-twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels by the shekel 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, the silver of them who were numbered of the assembly, was one hundred talents, —and one thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary;

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

26 a bekah per head, that is a half shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary, for all that passed over to them who had been numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, for six hundred and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty.

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 And it came to pass that the hundred talents of silver were used for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil, —one hundred sockets with the hundred talents a talent for a 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 with the thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five, made the hooks for the pillars, —and overlaid their capitals and united them with connecting-rods.

29 And the bronze of the wave-offering, was seventy talents, —and two thousand and four hundred shekels.

30 And he made therewith, the sockets for the opening of the tent of meeting, and the altar of bronze and the grating of bronze which pertained thereto, —and all the utensils of the altar,

31 and the sockets for the court round about, and the sockets for the gate of the court, —and all the pins for the habitation and all the pins for the court round about.
