Exodus 38

EvanBible Edition – English from the Originals

1 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide. It was square, and three cubits high.

2 He made a horn at each of its four corners, of one piece with the altar, and overlaid it with bronze.

3 He made all the altar's utensils of bronze: the pots, shovels, basins, forks and firepans.

4 He made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, beneath its ledge, down below, coming halfway up.

5 He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating to hold the poles.

6 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze,

7 and he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar so it could be carried with them. He made it hollow, out of boards.

8 He made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

9 He made the court as well. On the south side, facing the Negev, the hangings of the court were of fine twisted linen, a hundred cubits long,

10 with twenty pillars and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the pillars.

11 The north side also had hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the pillars.

12 On the west side were hangings fifty cubits long, with ten pillars and ten bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the pillars.

13 The east side, toward the sunrise, was fifty cubits wide.

14 Hangings fifteen cubits long were on one side of the entrance, with three pillars and three bases,

15 and on the other side as well; on both sides of the gate of the court were hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.

16 All the hangings surrounding the court were of fine twisted linen.

17 The bases for the pillars were bronze, and the hooks and bands on the pillars were silver; their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the pillars of the court had silver bands.

18 The screen for the gate of the court was embroidered work of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen. It was twenty cubits long and, like the hangings of the court, five cubits high across its width,

19 with four pillars and four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, and their tops and their bands were overlaid with silver.

20 All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the surrounding court were bronze.

21 These are the amounts used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which were recorded at Moses' command as the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

22 Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the LORD had commanded Moses.

23 With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, a designer and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.

24 The total amount of gold from the wave offering that was used for all the work on the sanctuary came to twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, by the sanctuary shekel.

25 The silver from those of the congregation who were counted came to a hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, by the sanctuary shekel,

26 a beka per person, that is, half a shekel by the sanctuary shekel, from everyone who crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more, six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men.

27 The hundred talents of silver went to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil, a hundred bases from the hundred talents, one talent per base.

28 From the one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made the hooks for the pillars, overlaid their tops and made bands for them.

29 The bronze from the wave offering came to seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels.

30 From it he made the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all the altar's utensils,

31 the bases for the surrounding court and for the gate of the court, and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding court.
