The Altar of Burnt Offering and the Basin
1He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood: five cubits long and five cubits wide — square — and three cubits high. 2He made its horns on its four corners, of one piece with it, and overlaid it with bronze. 3He made all the utensils of the altar — the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils he made of bronze. 4He made a bronze grating for the altar, a network, beneath its ledge, reaching up to the middle of it. 5He cast four rings for the four ends of the bronze grating, as places for the poles. 6He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it; he made the altar hollow, out of boards. 8He made the basin of bronze, with its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
The Courtyard of the Tabernacle
9He made the courtyard: on the south side, southward, the hangings of the courtyard were of finely woven linen, a hundred cubits long. 10Their posts were twenty and their bronze bases twenty; the hooks of the posts and their bands were silver. 11For the north side, a hundred cubits: their posts were twenty and their bronze bases twenty; the hooks of the posts and their bands were silver. 12For the west side, hangings of fifty cubits; their posts were ten and their bases ten; the hooks of the posts and their bands were silver. 13For the east side, toward the sunrise, fifty cubits. 14The hangings on the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their posts three and their bases three. 15And for the other side, on this hand and that, at the gate of the courtyard, hangings of fifteen cubits; their posts three and their bases three. 16All the hangings of the courtyard, all around, were of finely woven linen. 17The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks of the posts and their bands were silver, and the overlay of their tops was silver; all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands. 18The screen for the gate of the courtyard was the work of an embroiderer, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely woven linen; twenty cubits long, and five cubits high, matching the hangings of the courtyard. 19Their posts were four, and their bases four, of bronze; their hooks were silver, and the overlay of their tops and their bands were silver. 20All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard, all around, were of bronze.
An Inventory of the Materials
21This is the inventory of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, drawn up at the command of Moses — the service of the Levites, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 22Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that Yahweh commanded Moses. 23With 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. 24All the gold used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary — the gold of the offering — came to twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, by the sanctuary shekel. 25The silver from those counted in the community came to a hundred talents and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, by the sanctuary shekel — 26a beka per head, that is, half a shekel, by the sanctuary shekel, for everyone who was counted, twenty years old and up: six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men. 27The hundred talents of silver were used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil — a hundred bases from the hundred talents, a talent to a base. 28From the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and made their bands. 29The bronze of the offering was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels. 30With it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar, its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, 31the bases of the courtyard all around, the bases of the gate of the courtyard, and all the tent pegs of the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs of the courtyard all around.
