Then they made five posts and hooks for it. They covered the tops of the posts and their bands with gold, and they made five bronze bases for the posts.

He made four gold rings for it and attached them to its four feet, with two rings on each side.

Then he made four gold rings for the table and attached them to the four corners of the table where the four legs were.

The rings were put close to the frame around the top of the table, because they held the poles for carrying it.

The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were covered with gold.

He made of pure gold all the things that were used on the table: the plates, bowls, cups, and jars used for pouring the drink offerings.

He made seven pure gold lamps for this lampstand, and he made pure gold wick trimmers and trays.

He made two gold rings and put them below the trim on opposite sides of the altar; these rings held the poles for carrying it.

Then he made the holy olive oil for appointing the priests and the pure, sweet-smelling incense. He made them like a person who mixes perfumes.

Then he built the altar for burnt offerings out of acacia wood. The altar was square—seven and one-half feet long and seven and one-half feet wide—and it was four and one-half feet high.

He made all the tools of bronze to use on the altar: the pots, shovels, bowls for sprinkling blood, meat forks, and pans for carrying the fire.

He made a large bronze screen to hold the burning wood for the altar and put it inside the altar, under its rim, halfway up from the bottom.

He made bronze rings to hold the poles for carrying the altar, and he put them at the four corners of the screen.

He made the bronze bowl for washing, and he built it on a bronze stand. He used the bronze from mirrors that belonged to the women who served at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

The bases for the posts were made of bronze. The hooks and the bands on the posts were made of silver, and the tops of the posts were covered with silver also. All the posts in the courtyard had silver bands.

The curtain for the entry of the courtyard was made of blue, purple, and red thread, and fine linen, sewn by a person who could sew well. The curtain was thirty feet long and seven and one-half feet high, the same height as the curtains around the courtyard.

All the tent pegs for the Holy Tent and for the curtains around the courtyard were made of bronze.

Of this silver, 7,500 pounds were used to make the one hundred bases for the Holy Tent and for the curtain—75 pounds of silver in each base.

They used 50 pounds of silver to make the hooks for the posts and to cover the tops of the posts and to make the bands on them.

They used the bronze to make the bases at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, to make the altar and the bronze screen, and to make all the tools for the altar.
