Making the Altar of Burnt Offering

38 Bezalel(A) constructed the altar of burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square, 7½ feet long and 7½ feet wide,[a] and was 4½ feet[b] high. He made horns for it on its four corners; the horns were of one piece.[c] Then he overlaid it with bronze.

He made all the altar’s utensils: the pots, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; he made all its utensils of bronze. He constructed for the altar a grate of bronze mesh under its ledge,[d] halfway up from the bottom. At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles. Also, he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar in order to carry it with them. He constructed the altar with boards so that it was hollow.

Making the Bronze Basin

He made the bronze basin and its stand from the bronze mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(B)

Making the Courtyard

Then(C) he made the courtyard. The hangings on the south side of the courtyard were of finely spun linen, 150 feet in length,[e] 10 including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands[f] of the posts were silver. 11 The hangings on the north side were also 150 feet in length,[g] including their 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands[h] of the posts were silver. 12 The hangings on the west side were 75 feet in length,[i] including their 10 posts and 10 bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver. 13 The hangings on the east toward the sunrise were also 75 feet in length.[j] 14 The hangings on one side of the gate were 22½ feet,[k] including their three posts and three bases. 15 It was the same for the other side. The hangings were 22½ feet,[l] including their three posts and three bases on both sides of the courtyard gate. 16 All the hangings around the courtyard were of finely spun linen. 17 The bases for the posts were bronze; the hooks and bands[m] of the posts were silver; and the plating for the tops of the posts was silver. All the posts of the courtyard were banded with silver.

18 The screen for the gate of the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It was 30 feet[n] long, and like the hangings of the courtyard, 7½ feet[o] high.[p] 19 It had four posts, including their four bronze bases. Their hooks were silver, and the bands[q] as well as the plating of their tops were silver. 20 All the tent pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

Inventory of Materials

21 This is the inventory for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony,(D) that was recorded at Moses’ command. It was the work of the Levites under the direction of[r] Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.(E) 22 Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord commanded Moses. 23 With him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a gem cutter, a designer, and an embroiderer with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

24 All the gold of the presentation offering that was used for the project in all the work on the sanctuary, was 2,193 pounds,[s] according to the sanctuary shekel.(F) 25 The silver from those of the community who were registered was 7,544 pounds,[t] according to the sanctuary shekel— 26 2⁄5 of an ounce[u] per man, that is, half a shekel according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone 20 years old or more who had crossed over to the registered group, 603,550 men. 27 There were 7,500 pounds[v] of silver used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil—100 bases from 7,500 pounds,[w] 75 pounds[x] for each base.(G) 28 With the remaining 44 pounds[y] he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and supplied bands[z] for them.

29 The bronze of the presentation offering totaled 5,310 pounds.[aa] 30 He made with it the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grate, all the utensils for the altar, 31 the bases for the surrounding courtyard, the bases for the gate of the courtyard, all the tent pegs for the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs for the surrounding courtyard.

Making the Altar of Burnt Offering(A)

38 He made (B)the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood; five cubits was its length and five cubits its width—it was square—and its height was three cubits. He made its horns on its four corners; the horns were of one piece with it. And he overlaid it with bronze. He made all the utensils for the altar: the pans, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils he made of bronze. And he made a grate of bronze network for the altar, under its rim, midway from the bottom. He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles. And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. Then he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it. He made the altar hollow with boards.

Making the Bronze Laver

He made (C)the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

Making the Court of the Tabernacle(D)

Then he made (E)the court on the south side; the hangings of the court were of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long. 10 There were twenty pillars for them, with twenty bronze sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 11 On the north side the hangings were one hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars and their twenty bronze sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 12 And on the west side there were hangings of fifty cubits, with ten pillars and their ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver. 13 For the east side the hangings were fifty cubits. 14 The hangings of one side of the gate were fifteen cubits long, with their three pillars and their three sockets, 15 and the same for the other side of the court gate; on this side and that were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets. 16 All the hangings of the court all around were of fine woven linen. 17 The sockets for the pillars were bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were silver, and the overlay of their capitals was silver; and all the pillars of the court had bands of silver. 18 The screen for the gate of the court was woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen. The length was twenty cubits, and the height along its width was five cubits, corresponding to the hangings of the court. 19 And there were four pillars with their four sockets of bronze; their hooks were silver, and the overlay of their capitals and their bands was silver. 20 All the (F)pegs of the tabernacle, and of the court all around, were bronze.

Materials of the Tabernacle

21 [a]This is the inventory of the tabernacle, (G)the tabernacle of the Testimony, which was counted according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, (H)by the hand of (I)Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.

22 (J)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 (K)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 (L)offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to (M)the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And the silver from those who were (N)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 (O)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 (P)six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men. 27 And from the hundred talents of silver were cast (Q)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 (R)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.

38 Han gjorde ock brännoffersaltaret av akacieträ, fem alnar långt och fem alnar brett -- en liksidig fyrkant -- och tre alnar högt.

Och han gjorde hörn därtill och satte dem i dess fyra hörn; i ett stycke därmed gjordes hörnen. Och han överdrog det med koppar.

Och han gjorde altarets alla tillbehör, askkärlen, skovlarna, skålarna, gafflarna och fyrfaten. Alla dess tillbehör gjorde han av koppar.

Och han gjorde till altaret ett galler, ett nätverk av koppar, och satte det under dess avsats, nedtill, så att det räckte upp till mitten.

Och han göt fyra ringar och satte dem i de fyra hörnen på koppargallret, för att stängerna skulle skjutas in i dem.

Och han gjorde stängerna av akacieträ och överdrog dem med koppar.

Och han sköt stängerna in i ringarna på altarets sidor, så att man kunde bära det med dem. Ihåligt gjorde han det, av plankor.

Han gjorde ock bäckenet av koppar med dess fotställning av koppar och använde därtill speglar, som hade tillhört de kvinnor vilka hade tjänstgöring vid ingången till uppenbarelsetältet.

Han gjorde ock förgården. För den södra sidan, söderut, gjordes omhängena till förgården av tvinnat sitt garn, hundra alnar långa;

10 till dem gjordes tjugu stolpar, och till dessa tjugu fotstycken, av koppar, men stolparnas hakar och kransar gjordes av silver.

11 Likaledes gjordes de för norra sidan hundra alnar långa; till dem gjordes tjugu stolpar, och till dessa tjugu fotstycken, av koppar, men stolparnas hakar och kransar gjordes av silver.

12 Och för västra sidan gjordes omhängen som voro femtio alnar långa; till dem gjordes tio stolpar, och till dessa tio fotstycken, men stolparnas hakar och kransar gjordes av silver.

13 Och för framsidan, österut, gjordes de femtio alnar långa.

14 Omhängena gjordes femton alnar långa på ena sidan därav, med tre stolpar på tre fotstycken; likaledes gjordes omhängena på andra sidan femton alnar långa -- alltså lika på båda sidor om porten till förgården -- med tre stolpar på tre fotstycken.

15 Alla omhängena runt omkring förgården gjordes av tvinnat vitt garn;

16 och fotstyckena till stolparna gjordes av koppar, men stolparnas hakar och kransar gjordes av silver, och deras knoppar överdrogos med silver;

17 alla förgårdens stolpar försågos med kransar av silver.

18 Och förhänget för porten till förgården gjordes i brokig vävnad av mörkblått, purpurrött, rosenrött och tvinnat vitt garn, tjugu alnar långt och fem alnar högt, efter tygets bredd, i likhet med förgårdens omhängen;

19 och till det gjordes fyra stolpar på fyra fotstycken, av koppar; men deras hakar gjordes av silver, och deras knoppar överdrogos med silver, och deras kransar gjordes av silver.

20 Alla pluggarna till tabernaklet och till förgården runt omkring gjordes av koppar.

21 Följande är vad som beräknas hava åtgått till tabernaklet, vittnesbördets tabernakel, vilken beräkning gjordes efter Moses befallning genom leviternas försorg, under ledning av Itamar, prästen Arons son;

22 och Besalel, son till Uri, son till Hur, av Juda stam, förfärdigade allt vad HERREN hade bjudit Mose,

23 och till medhjälpare hade han Oholiab, Ahisamaks son, av Dans stam, en man kunnig i snideri och konstvävnad och i konsten att väva brokigt med mörkblått, purpurrött, rosenrött och vitt garn.

24 Det guld som användes till arbetet, vid förfärdigandet av hela helgedomen, det guld som hade blivit givet såsom offer, utgjorde sammanlagt tjugunio talenter och sju hundra trettio siklar, efter helgedomssikelns vikt.

25 Och det silver som gavs av dem i menigheten, vilka inmönstrades, utgjorde ett hundra talenter och ett tusen sju hundra sjuttiofem siklar, efter helgedomssikelns vikt.

26 En beka, det är en halv sikel, efter helgedomssikelns vikt, kom på var person, på var och en som upptogs bland de inmönstrade, var och en som var tjugu år gammal eller därutöver: sex hundra tre tusen fem hundra femtio personer.

27 Och de hundra talenterna silver användes till gjutningen av fotstyckena för helgedomen och av fotstyckena för förlåten, ett hundra talenter till ett hundra fotstycken, en talent till vart fotstycke.

28 Och de ett tusen sju hundra sjuttiofem siklarna användes till att göra hakar till stolparna och till att överdraga deras knoppar och göra kransar till dem.

29 Och den koppar som hade blivit given såsom offer utgjorde sjuttio talenter och två tusen fyra hundra siklar.

30 Därav gjorde man fotstyckena till uppenbarelsetältets ingång, så ock kopparaltaret med tillhörande koppargaller och altarets alla tillbehör,

31 vidare fotstyckena till förgården, runt omkring, och fotstyckena till förgårdens port, äntligen alla tabernaklets pluggar och alla förgårdens pluggar, runt omkring.

The Altar of Burnt Offering(A)

38 They[a] built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits[b] high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.[c] They made a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar were of one piece, and they overlaid the altar with bronze.(B) They made all its utensils(C) of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating. They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. They inserted the poles into the rings so they would be on the sides of the altar for carrying it. They made it hollow, out of boards.

The Basin for Washing

They made the bronze basin(D) and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women(E) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

The Courtyard(F)

Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits[d] long and had curtains of finely twisted linen, 10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 11 The north side was also a hundred cubits long and had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

12 The west end was fifty cubits[e] wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 13 The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide. 14 Curtains fifteen cubits[f] long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, 15 and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases. 16 All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 17 The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver; so all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. It was twenty cubits[g] long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits[h] high, 19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. 20 All the tent pegs(G) of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

The Materials Used

21 These are the amounts of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the covenant law,(H) which were recorded at Moses’ command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar(I) son of Aaron, the priest. 22 (Bezalel(J) son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the Lord commanded Moses; 23 with him was Oholiab(K) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan—an engraver and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.) 24 The total amount of the gold from the wave offering used for all the work on the sanctuary(L) was 29 talents and 730 shekels,[i] according to the sanctuary shekel.(M)

25 The silver obtained from those of the community who were counted in the census(N) was 100 talents[j] and 1,775 shekels,[k] according to the sanctuary shekel— 26 one beka per person,(O) that is, half a shekel,[l] according to the sanctuary shekel,(P) from everyone who had crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more,(Q) a total of 603,550 men.(R) 27 The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the bases(S) for the sanctuary and for the curtain—100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent for each base. 28 They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make their bands.

29 The bronze from the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.[m] 30 They used it to make the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all its utensils, 31 the bases for the surrounding courtyard and those for its entrance and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and those for the surrounding courtyard.
