It was 7 1/2 feet wide, 7 1/2 feet long, and 4 1/2 feet high. | 1He made the altar for the burnt offering of acacia wood seven feet six inches long and seven feet six inches wide--it was square--and its height was four feet six inches. |

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

The hooks of the posts and their bands were silver, their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the posts of the courtyard had 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 curtain for the gate of the courtyard was of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer.

The Levites compiled the figures, as Moses directed, and Ithamar son of Aaron the priest served as recorder. | 21This is the inventory of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which was counted by the order of Moses, being the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, 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 son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the LORD had commanded Moses; |
