The Altar of Burnt Offering
The bronze altar, and a basin made from the mirrors of the women who served at the tent entrance. Then the courtyard, and a public audit of the metals — every weight of gold, silver from the census, bronze — recorded under Ithamar so nothing given could go unaccounted.
38 1He made the altar of burnt offering from acacia wood: about seven and a half feet long and wide—a square—and four and a half feet high. 2He made horns on its four corners, one piece with it, and covered it with bronze. 3He made all the altar's utensils: pots, shovels, basins, forks, and firepans—all its utensils of bronze. 4He made for the altar a bronze grating under its ledge, reaching halfway up. 5He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating to hold the poles. 6He made acacia-wood poles and covered them with bronze. 7He put the poles into the rings on the altar's sides, to carry it by them; he made it hollow, with boards.
The Bronze Basin
8He made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women serving at the tent of meeting's entrance.
9He made the courtyard. Its curtains on the south side were finely twisted linen, about 150 feet long.
10Their twenty pillars and twenty bases: bronze. Pillars' hooks and bands: silver. 11The north side: 150 feet of curtains, with twenty bronze pillars and twenty bronze bases; the pillars' hooks and bands were silver. 12On the west side: curtains about seventy-five feet, ten pillars, ten bases; the pillars' hooks and bands were silver. 13On the east side, toward the sunrise, the courtyard was about seventy-five feet wide. 14Curtains twenty-two and a half feet long for one side of the gate, with three pillars and three bases. 15Same on the other side: curtains on both sides of the courtyard gate, about twenty-two and a half feet long, with three pillars and three bases each. 16All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 17The courtyard pillars' bases were bronze; their hooks and bands were silver; their tops' overlay was silver; all courtyard pillars were banded with silver. 18The courtyard's gate curtain was embroidered in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—about thirty feet long, seven and a half feet high, like the courtyard's curtains. 19Their four pillars and four bases were bronze; their hooks, silver; the overlay of their tops and bands, silver. 20All the pegs for the tabernacle and around the courtyard were bronze.
Bezalel and Oholiab
21These are the accounts of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, recorded at Moses' command—the work of the Levites under Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 22Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of Judah's tribe, made all our Father commanded Moses, 23with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
24All the gold used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary—the wave offering's gold—weighed about 2,193 pounds, by the sanctuary standard. 25Silver from those counted in the community weighed about 7,545 pounds, by the sanctuary standard: 26About a fifth of an ounce of silver per head, for each counted, twenty years old and up: 603,550 men. 27About 7,500 pounds of silver cast the sanctuary's bases and the veil's bases—one hundred bases from that silver, about 75 pounds each. 28From the forty-five pounds of silver he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their tops, and banded them. 29The bronze of the wave offering weighed about 5,310 pounds. 30With it he made the tent of meeting's entrance bases, the bronze altar with its bronze grating, and all the altar's utensils. 31The bases around the courtyard, the bases of the courtyard's gate, all the tabernacle's pegs, and all the pegs around the courtyard.
