New King James Version
Materials of the Tabernacle
21 [a]This is the inventory of the tabernacle, (A)the tabernacle of the Testimony, which was counted according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, (B)by the hand of (C)Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
22 (D)Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord had commanded Moses. 23 And with him was (E)Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and [b]designer, a weaver of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine linen.
24 All the gold that was used in all the work of the holy place, that is, the gold of the (F)offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to (G)the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And the silver from those who were (H)numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 (I)a bekah for [c]each man (that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone included in the numbering from twenty years old and above, for (J)six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men. 27 And from the hundred talents of silver were cast (K)the sockets of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil: one hundred sockets from the hundred talents, one talent for each socket. 28 Then from the one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and (L)made bands for them.
29 The offering of bronze was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels. 30 And with it he made the sockets for the door of the tabernacle of meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, and all the utensils for the altar, 31 the sockets for the court all around, the bases for the court gate, all the pegs for the tabernacle, and all the pegs for the court all around.

The Cost of the Tabernacle
21 [a]This is the number of the things for the [b]tabernacle, the [c]tabernacle of the testimony, as they were [d]counted according to the [e]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 [f]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, [g]which was the gold of the wave offering, was twenty-nine [h]talents and 730 [i]shekels, according to (C)the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And (D)the silver of those of the congregation who were [j]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 [k]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 [l]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 [m]tabernacle and all the pegs of the courtyard all around.
