New Living Translation

1They built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.

1Next Bezalel used acacia wood to construct the square altar of burnt offering. It was 7 1/2 feet wide, 7 1/2 feet long, and 4 1/2 feet high.

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.

2He made horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar were all one piece. He overlaid the altar with bronze.

3They made all its utensils of bronze--its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans.

3Then he made all the altar utensils of bronze—the ash buckets, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans.

4They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar.

4Next he made a bronze grating and installed it halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge.

5They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating.

5He cast four rings and attached them to the corners of the bronze grating to hold the carrying poles.

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

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

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.

7He inserted the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar. The altar was hollow and was made from planks. Building the Washbasin

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.

8Bezalel made the bronze washbasin and its bronze stand from bronze mirrors donated by the women who served at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Building the Courtyard

9Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits long and had curtains of finely twisted linen,

9Then Bezalel made the courtyard, which was enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side the curtains were 150 feet long.

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

10They were held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.

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.

11He made a similar set of curtains for the north side—150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts set securely in bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.

12The west end was fifty cubits wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

12The curtains on the west end of the courtyard were 75 feet long, hung with silver hooks and rings and supported by ten posts set into ten bases.

13The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide.

13The east end, the front, was also 75 feet long.

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

14The courtyard entrance was on the east end, flanked by two curtains. The curtain on the right side was 22 1/2 feet long and was supported by three posts set into three bases.

15and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases.

15The curtain on the left side was also 22 1/2 feet long and was supported by three posts set into three bases.

16All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen.

16All the curtains used in the courtyard were made of finely woven linen.

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.

17Each post had a bronze base, and all the hooks and rings were silver. The tops of the posts of the courtyard were overlaid with silver, and the rings to hold up the curtains were made of silver.

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,

18He made the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard of finely woven linen, and he decorated it with beautiful embroidery in blue, purple, and scarlet thread. It was 30 feet long, and its height was 7 1/2 feet, just like the curtains of the courtyard walls.

19with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver.

19It was supported by four posts, each set securely in its own bronze base. The tops of the posts were overlaid with silver, and the hooks and rings were also made of silver.

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

20All the tent pegs used in the Tabernacle and courtyard were made of bronze. Inventory of Materials

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.

21This is an inventory of the materials used in building the Tabernacle of the Covenant. The Levites compiled the figures, as Moses directed, and Ithamar son of Aaron the priest served as recorder.

22(Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the LORD commanded Moses;

22Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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.)

23He was assisted by Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman expert at engraving, designing, and embroidering with blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth.

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.

24The people brought special offerings of gold totaling 2,193 pounds, as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel. This gold was used throughout the Tabernacle.

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--

25The whole community of Israel gave 7,545 pounds of silver, as measured by the weight of the sanctuary shekel.

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.

26This silver came from the tax collected from each man registered in the census. (The tax is one beka, which is half a shekel, based on the sanctuary shekel.) The tax was collected from 603,550 men who had reached their twentieth birthday.

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.

27The hundred bases for the frames of the sanctuary walls and for the posts supporting the inner curtain required 7,500 pounds of silver, about 75 pounds for each base.

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.

28The remaining 45 pounds of silver was used to make the hooks and rings and to overlay the tops of the posts.

29The bronze from the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.

29The people also brought as special offerings 5,310 pounds of bronze,

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,

30which was used for casting the bases for the posts at the entrance to the Tabernacle, and for the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all the altar utensils.

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.

31Bronze was also used to make the bases for the posts that supported the curtains around the courtyard, the bases for the curtain at the entrance of the courtyard, and all the tent pegs for the Tabernacle and the courtyard.
