﻿Exodus.
Chapter 38.
He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square, about seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide, and four and a half feet high. 
He made its horns at its four corners; its horns were of one piece with it. He overlaid it with bronze. 
He made all the utensils of the altar: the pots, shovels, bowls, forks, and firepans. He made all its utensils of bronze. 
He made for the altar a grating of bronze mesh beneath its ledge, reaching to the middle of the altar. 
He cast four rings at the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles. 
He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 
He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, of boards. 
He made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the serving women who served at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting. 
He made the courtyard. On the south side, facing south, the courtyard hangings were of finely twisted linen, about a hundred fifty feet long. 
There were twenty pillars with their twenty bronze bases; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 
On the north side the hangings were about a hundred fifty feet long, with twenty pillars and their twenty bronze bases; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 
On the west side the hangings were about seventy-five feet long, with ten pillars and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 
The east side, facing east, was about seventy-five feet long. 
The hangings on one side were about twenty-two and a half feet long, with three pillars and their three bases. 
On the other side, on either side of the courtyard gate, the hangings were about twenty-two and a half feet long, with three pillars and their three bases. 
All the hangings around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 
The bases for the pillars were bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. All the pillars of the courtyard were banded with silver. 
The screen for the courtyard gate was the work of an embroiderer, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen. It was about thirty feet long and seven and a half feet high, corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard. 
There were four pillars with their four bronze bases; their hooks were silver, their tops were overlaid with silver, and their bands were silver. 
All the pegs for the tabernacle and for the courtyard all around were bronze. 
These are the accounts of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the Testimony, recorded at Moses’ command through the service of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. 
Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the LORD had commanded Moses. 
With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen. 
All the gold used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, the gold of the wave offering, was 29 talents and 730 shekels by the sanctuary shekel, about 2,193 pounds. 
The silver from those counted in the congregation was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels by the sanctuary shekel, about 7,545 pounds: 
a bekah per head, half a shekel by the sanctuary shekel, about one-fifth of an ounce, from everyone who passed over to be counted, twenty years old and upward, 603,550 in all. 
The 100 talents of silver, about 7,500 pounds, were used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil: a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent, about seventy-five pounds, for each base. 
With the 1,775 shekels, about forty-five pounds, he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their tops, and fitted them with bands. 
The bronze of the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels, about 5,310 pounds. 
With it he made the bases for the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, 
the bases around the courtyard, the bases of the courtyard gate, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the courtyard.
