Exodus 38:21-31

Modern English Version

The Inventory of the Tabernacle

²¹ This is the inventory of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted according to the commandment of Moses for the service of the Levites by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest. ²² Bezalel, the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses. ²³ With him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer, an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine linen. ²⁴ All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels,^[a] according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

²⁵ The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents,^[b] and a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels,^[c] according to the shekel of the sanctuary; ²⁶ a bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel,^[d] according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who was numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men. ²⁷ The hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil—a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. ²⁸ Of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their tops and made bands for them.

²⁹ The bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels.^{[e] 30} With it he made the sockets for the door of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, ³¹ and the sockets of the courtyard all around, and the sockets of the courtyard gate, and all the tent pegs of the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs of the courtyard all around.
