1Bezalel constructed the altar of burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

1Then he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits wide, square, and three cubits high.

2He made a horn at each of its four corners, so that the horns and altar were of one piece, and he overlaid the altar with bronze.

2He made its horns on its four corners, its horns being of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

3He made all the altar’s utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.

3He made all the utensils of the altar, the pails and the shovels and the basins, the flesh hooks and the firepans; he made all its utensils of bronze.

4He made a grate of bronze mesh for the altar under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom.

4He made for the altar a grating of bronze network beneath, under its ledge, reaching halfway up.

5At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles.

5He cast four rings on the four ends of the bronze grating as holders for the poles.

6And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

6He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar with boards so that it was hollow.

7He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

8Next he made the bronze basin and its stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

8Moreover, he made the laver of bronze with its base of bronze, from the mirrors of the serving women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

9Then he constructed the courtyard. The south side of the courtyard was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely spun linen,

9Then he made the court: for the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twisted linen, one hundred cubits;

10with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

10their twenty pillars, and their twenty sockets, made of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

11The north side was also a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

11For the north side there were one hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty sockets were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

12The west side was fifty cubits long and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.

12For the west side there were hangings of fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten sockets; the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.

13And the east side, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits long.

13For the east side fifty cubits.

14The curtains on one side of the entrance were fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

14The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets,

15And the curtains on the other side were also fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases as well.

15and so for the other side. On both sides of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.

16All the curtains around the courtyard were made of finely spun linen.

16All the hangings of the court all around were of fine twisted linen.

17The bases for the posts were bronze, the hooks and bands were silver, and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. So all the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

17The sockets for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands, of silver; and the overlaying of their tops, of silver, and all the pillars of the court were furnished with silver bands.

18The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high,

18The screen of the gate of the court was the work of the weaver, of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. And the length was twenty cubits and the height was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

19with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, as well as the bands and the plating of their tops.

19Their four pillars and their four sockets were of bronze; their hooks were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their bands were of silver.

20All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

22Now Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

23With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen.
