1And he made the altar for burnt offerings of acacia wood, foursquare: five cubits long, and five cubits wide; and three cubits high. 2And he made four identical horns for the four corners of it; and he overlaid them with bronze. 3He also made the utensils for the altar - the pots, shovels, basins, fleshhooks, and the firepans - all of bronze. 4And he made a grate of bronze network for the altar under its ledge. 5And he cast four rings for its four corners of the bronze grate, to hold the staves. 6And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. 7And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, for carrying it; the altar was made hollow with boards. 8And he made the basin and its base of bronze, made from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the Tabernacle of meeting. 9And then they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits long; and had curtain hangings of finely woven linen. 10Its twenty posts had twenty bronze base sockets, with silver hooks and bands. 11And the courtyard on the north side was a hundred cubits long with the same type of hangings, with twenty bronze sockets, with silver hooks and bands. 12And the west side was fifty cubits wide, with ten posts with silver hooks and bands, and ten bronze sockets. 13And for the east side, the same as on the west side - fifty cubits wide, with ten bronze sockets; and ten posts with silver hooks and bands. 14The curtain hangings of the one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long; supported by three posts, with their three sockets. 15And the same for the other side of the court entrance – the curtain hangings fifteen cubits long; with three posts and three sockets. 16The hangings all around the court were of finely woven linen. 17And the sockets for the posts were of bronze; the hooks of the posts and their bands of silver; and the capitals at the tops were overlaid with silver; and all the posts of the court were banded with silver. 18And the curtain hangings for the gate of the court were needlework of blue, purple, scarlet, and finely woven linen; twenty cubits long, and like the curtains of the courtyard, their height was five cubits, 19With four posts and their four bronze sockets, their hooks; and their capitals and their bands overlaid with silver. 20And all the tent pegs of the Tabernacle, and of the courtyard around it, were of bronze. 21This is an inventory of the materials used for the Tabernacle, as recorded according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest. 22Bezalel, the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. 23And with him was Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen. 24The total amount of gold, from the offerings of the people that was used for all the work of the sanctuary was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (about 2,193 pounds). 25And the silver from the congregation totaled one hundred talents, and a thousand, seven hundred seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (about 7,545 pounds). 26One beka (a half shekel) for every man counted, from twenty years old and upward - six hundred three thousand, five hundred fifty men. 27And one hundred talents of silver was used to cast the sockets of the sanctuary - the hundred sockets - a talent per socket. 28And of the thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the posts, and overlaid their capitals, and banded them. 29And the bronze of their offering was seventy talents, and two thousand, four hundred shekels. 30And with these he made the bronze sockets for the entrance of the Tabernacle of meeting, the altar, the grate for it, all the vessels of the altar, 31The sockets of the court around it, the sockets of the court entrance, all the tent pegs of the Tabernacle, and for the courtyard around it.
