Exodus 38:13-31
New American Standard Bible
13 For the [a]east side, fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for the one [b]side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases, 15 and so for the [c]other [d]side. [e]On both sides of the gate of the courtyard were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 16 All the hangings of the courtyard all around were of fine twisted linen. 17 And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their [f]bands, of silver; and the overlaying of their tops, of silver, and all the pillars of the courtyard were furnished with silver [g]bands. 18 Now the curtain of the gate of the courtyard was the work of the [h]weaver, of [i]violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. And the length was twenty cubits and the [j]height was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard. 19 Their four pillars and their four bases were of bronze; their hooks were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their [k]bands were of silver. 20 All the pegs of the [l]tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were of bronze.
The Cost of the Tabernacle
21 [m]This is the number of the things for the [n]tabernacle, the [o]tabernacle of the testimony, as they were [p]counted according to the [q]command of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 22 Now (A)Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had commanded Moses. 23 With him was (B)Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and a skilled embroiderer, and a [r]weaver in violet, in purple, and in scarlet material, and fine linen.
24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, [s]which was the gold of the wave offering, was twenty-nine [t]talents and 730 [u]shekels, according to (C)the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And (D)the silver of those of the congregation who were [v]counted was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; 26 (E)a beka a head (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), assessed to each one who passed over to those who were [w]counted, from twenty years old and upward, for (F)603,550 men. 27 The hundred talents of silver were used for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent for a base. 28 And of the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their tops and made [x]bands for them. 29 And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels. 30 With it he made the bases to the doorway of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, 31 and the bases of the courtyard all around and the bases of the gate of the courtyard, and all the pegs of the [y]tabernacle and all the pegs of the courtyard all around.
