New American Standard Bible 1995

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.

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 horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar were all one piece. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

13For the east side fifty cubits.

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.

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

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

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 used in the courtyard were made of finely woven linen.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 used in the Tabernacle and courtyard were made of bronze. Inventory of Materials

20All the pegs of the tabernacle and of the court all around were of bronze.

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.

21This is the number of the things for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were numbered according to the command of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

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

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

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.

23With him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and a skillful workman and a weaver in blue and in purple and in scarlet material, and fine linen.

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.

24All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

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

25The silver of those of the congregation who were numbered was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary;

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.

26a beka a head (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), for each one who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men.

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.

27The hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

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

28Of the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their tops and made bands for them.

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

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

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.

30With it he made the sockets to the doorway of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar,

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.

31and the sockets of the court all around and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the tabernacle and all the pegs of the court all around.
