¹ AND he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood; five cubits was its length and five cubits its breadth; it was foursquare; and three cubits were the height thereof.² And he made its horns on the four corners of it; its horns were of the same; and he overlaid it with brass.³ And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, the cauldrons, the hanging pots, the fleshhooks, the shovels, the censers; all its vessels he made of brass.⁴ And he made for the altar a bronze grate of network halfway under the base of it.⁵ And he cast four rings for the four corners of the grate of brass to be places for the poles.⁶ And he made the poles of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.⁷ And put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them; he made the altar hollow with boards.⁸ And he placed the laver of brass and its base of brass at the assembly house, for the women who came to pray at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

⁹ And he made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;¹⁰ Their pillars were twenty, and their bronze sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.¹¹ And for the north side the hangings were a hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.¹² And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.¹³ And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.¹⁴ The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.¹⁵ And for the other side, on this hand and that of the gate of the court, were hangings of fifteen cubits for each side; their pillars three, and their sockets three.¹⁶ All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.¹⁷ And the sockets of the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals of silver; and all the pillars of the court were overlaid with silver.¹⁸ And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet material, and fine twined linen; and twenty cubits long, and the height and the width were five cubits, opposite the hangings of the court.¹⁹ And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.²⁰ And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.

²¹ This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of the testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, and the work of the Levites, under the supervision of Ithamar, the son of Aaron, the priest.²² And Bezaliel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.²³ And with him was Elihab, the son of Ahisamakh, of the tribe of Dan, a carpenter, and a craftsman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet material, and in fine linen.²⁴ All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents, and four hundred and thirty shekels, by the weight of the sanctuary.²⁵ And the silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary:²⁶ A shekel for every head, that is half a shekel, by the weight of the sanctuary, for every one who was included in the number, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.²⁷ And the total sum was one hundred talents of silver, for the casting of the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets were made from a hundred talents, a talent for a socket.²⁸ And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and overlaid the hooks with silver.²⁹ And the total sum of the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.³⁰ And with it he made the sockets of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the bronze altar, and the bronze grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,³¹ And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
