| 1And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. | 1They built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide. |
| 2And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass. | 2They made a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar were of one piece, and they overlaid the altar with bronze. |
| 3And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass. | 3They made all its utensils of bronze--its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. |
| 4And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it. | 4They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. |
| 5And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves. | 5They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating. |
| 6And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass. | 6They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. |
| 7And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards. | 7They inserted the poles into the rings so they would be on the sides of the altar for carrying it. They made it hollow, out of boards. |
| 8And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. | 8They made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting. |
| 9And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits: | 9Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely twisted linen, |
| 10Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. | 10with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. |
| 11And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. | 11The north side was also a hundred cubits long and had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. |
| 12And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. | 12The west end was fifty cubits wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. |
| 13And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. | 13The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide. |
| 14The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. | 14Curtains fifteen cubits long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, |
| 15And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. | 15and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases. |
| 16All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen. | 16All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. |
| 17And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. | 17The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver; so all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands. |
| 18And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court. | 18The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen--the work of an embroiderer. It was twenty cubits long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits high, |
| 19And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver. | 19with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. |
| 20And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass. | 20All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze. |
| 21This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest. | 21These are the amounts of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the covenant law, which were recorded at Moses' command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. |
| 22And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. | 22(Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the LORD commanded Moses; |
| 23And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen. | 23with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan--an engraver and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.) |
| 24All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. | 24The total amount of the gold from the wave offering used for all the work on the sanctuary was 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel. |
| 25And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: | 25The silver obtained from those of the community who were counted in the census was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel-- |
| 26A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men. | 26one beka per person, that is, half a shekel, according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone who had crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more, a total of 603,550 men. |
| 27And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. | 27The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the bases for the sanctuary and for the curtain--100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent for each base. |
| 28And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them. | 28They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make their bands. |
| 29And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. | 29The bronze from the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels. |
| 30And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar, | 30They used it to make the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all its utensils, |
| 31And 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. | 31the bases for the surrounding courtyard and those for its entrance and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and those for the surrounding courtyard. |
