Brännoffersaltaret
38 Han gjorde brännoffersaltaret av akacieträ. Det var liksidigt, fem alnar långt och fem alnar brett, och fyrkantigt och tre alnar högt. 2 Han gjorde horn till det och satte dem i de fyra hörnen. Hornen gjordes i ett stycke med altaret, och han överdrog det med koppar. 3 Altarets alla tillbehör gjorde han av koppar: askkärlen, skovlarna, skålarna, gafflarna och fyrfaten. 4 Och han gjorde ett galler till altaret, ett nät av koppar, och satte det nertill under avsatsen på altaret, så att det nådde upp till mitten. 5 Han göt också fyra ringar och satte dem i de fyra hörnen på koppargallret som hållare för stängerna. 6 Och han gjorde stängerna av akacieträ och överdrog dem med koppar. 7 Han sköt in stängerna i ringarna på sidorna av altaret, så att man kunde bära det med dem. Ihåligt och av plankor gjordes det.
Karet av koppar
8 Han gjorde karet av koppar med en fotställning av koppar, och till det använde han speglar, som hade tillhört de kvinnor som gjorde tjänst vid ingången till uppenbarelsetältet.
Förgården
9 Han gjorde också förgården. För den södra sidan, åt söder, gjordes omhängena till förgården av tvinnat fint lingarn, hundra alnar långa. 10 Till dem gjordes tjugo stolpar med tjugo fotstycken av koppar, men stolparnas krokar och band gjordes av silver. 11 Även för norra sidan gjordes omhängena hundra alnar långa, och till dem gjordes tjugo stolpar med tjugo fotstycken av koppar, men stolparnas krokar och band gjordes av silver. 12 För västra sidan gjordes omhängena femtio alnar långa. Till dem gjordes tio stolpar och tio fotstycken, men stolparnas krokar och band gjordes av silver. 13 Också för framsidan, åt öster, gjordes de femtio alnar långa. 14 På ena sidan om porten till förgården gjordes omhängena femton alnar långa med tre stolpar och tre fotstycken, och likaså gjordes omhängena på andra sidan femton alnar långa, med tre stolpar och tre fotstycken, alltså lika på båda sidor om porten till förgården. 15 Alla omhängena runt förgården gjordes av tvinnat fint lingarn. 16 Fotstyckena till stolparna gjordes av koppar, men stolparnas krokar och band var av silver, och deras knoppar överdrogs med silver. 17 Alla förgårdens stolpar försågs med band av silver.
18 Förhänget för porten till förgården gjordes i brokig vävnad av mörkblått, purpurrött och karmosinrött garn och tvinnat fint lingarn, tjugo alnar långt och fem alnar högt, efter tygets bredd, i likhet med förgårdens omhängen. 19 Till förhänget gjordes fyra stolpar med fyra fotstycken av koppar, men deras krokar och band var av silver, och deras knoppar överdrogs med silver. 20 Alla tältpluggarna till tabernaklet och till förgården runt omkring gjordes av koppar.
Mängden av material
21 Detta är vad som beräknas ha gått åt till tabernaklet, vittnesbördets tabernakel, enligt den beräkning som Mose gav befallning om och som utfördes genom leviterna under ledning av Itamar, prästen Arons son. 22 Besalel, son till Uri, son till Hur av Juda stam, utförde allt som Herren hade givit Mose befallning om. 23 Till medhjälpare hade han Oholiab, Ahisamaks son av Dans stam, en konsthantverkare som tänkte ut mönster och kunde göra brokiga vävnader i mörkblått, purpurrött och karmosinrött garn samt fint lingarn.
24 Det guld som använts till arbetet med att färdigställa hela helgedomen, det guld som hade givits som offer, utgjorde sammanlagt 29 talenter och 730 siklar efter helgedomssikelns vikt. 25 Det silver som gavs av de mönstrade av folkförsamlingen utgjorde 100 talenter och 1 775 siklar efter helgedomssikelns vikt. 26 En beka, det vill säga en halv sikel efter helgedomssikelns vikt, kom på var och en som togs upp bland de inmönstrade, var och en som var tjugo år gammal eller mer, 603 550 personer. 27 De hundra talenterna silver användes till att gjuta fotstyckena till helgedomen och till förlåten, 100 talenter till 100 fotstycken, en talent till varje fotstycke. 28 De 1 775 siklarna silver användes till att göra krokar till stolparna och till att överdra deras knoppar och göra band till dem. 29 Den koppar som hade givits som offer utgjorde 70 talenter och 2 400 siklar. 30 Av den gjorde man fotstyckena till uppenbarelsetältets ingång och kopparaltaret med dess koppargaller och altarets alla tillbehör, 31 vidare fotstyckena till förgården, runt omkring, och fotstyckena till förgårdens port samt tabernaklets och förgårdens alla tältpluggar, runt omkring.
Exodus 38
King James Version
38 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.
18 And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21 This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of 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 to Aaron the priest.
22 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
24 All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
26 A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

Easy-to-Read Version
The Altar for Burning Offerings
38 Then Bezalel used acacia wood to build the altar. This was the altar used for burning offerings. The altar was square. It was 5 cubits[a] long, 5 cubits wide, and 3 cubits[b] high. 2 He made a horn for each of the four corners of the altar. He joined each horn to its corner so that everything was one piece. He covered the altar with bronze. 3 Then he used bronze to make all the tools to be used on the altar. He made the pots, shovels, bowls, forks, and pans. 4 Then he made a bronze grating for the altar. This grating was shaped like a net. The grating was put under the ledge at the bottom of the altar. It went halfway up into the altar from below. 5 Then he made bronze rings to hold the poles for carrying the altar. He put the rings at the four corners of the grating. 6 Then he used acacia wood to make the poles and covered them with bronze. 7 He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it. He used boards to make the sides of the altar. It was hollow, like an empty box.
8 He made the bowl and its base with bronze. He used the bronze mirrors that the women gave. These were the women who served at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.
The Courtyard Around the Holy Tent
9 Then he made a wall of curtains around the courtyard. On the south side, he made a wall of curtains 100 cubits[c] long. The curtains were made from fine linen. 10 The curtains on the south side were supported by 20 posts. The posts were on 20 bronze bases. The hooks for the posts and the curtain rods[d] were made from silver. 11 The north side of the courtyard also had a wall of curtains 100 cubits long. There were 20 posts with 20 bronze bases. The hooks for the posts and the curtain rods were made from silver.
12 On the west side of the courtyard the wall of curtains was 50 cubits[e] long. There were 10 posts and 10 bases. The hooks for the posts and the curtain rods were made from silver.
13 The east side of the courtyard was 50 cubits wide. The entrance to the courtyard was on this side. 14 On one side of the entrance the wall of curtains was 15 cubits[f] long. There were three posts and three bases on this side. 15 The wall of curtains on the other side of the entrance was also 15 cubits long. There were three posts and three bases on that side. 16 All the curtains around the courtyard were made from fine linen. 17 The bases for the posts were made from bronze. The hooks and the curtain rods were made from silver. The tops of the posts were covered with silver also. All the posts in the courtyard had silver curtain rods.
18 The curtain for the entrance of the courtyard was made from fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn. Designs were woven into that curtain. The curtain was 20 cubits[g] long and 5 cubits high. It was the same height as the curtains around the courtyard. 19 The curtain was supported by four posts and four bronze bases. The hooks on the posts were made from silver. The tops on the posts were covered with silver, and the curtain rods were also made from silver. 20 All the tent pegs for the Holy Tent and for the curtains around the courtyard were made from bronze.
21 Moses commanded the Levites to write down everything that was used to make the Holy Tent, that is, the Tent of the Agreement. Ithamar son of Aaron was in charge of keeping the list.
22 Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything the Lord commanded Moses. 23 Also Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, helped him. Oholiab was a skilled worker and designer. He was skilled at weaving fine linen and blue, purple, and red yarn.
24 The people gave over a ton[h] of gold as an offering to the Lord for his holy place. (This was weighed using the official measure.)
25-26 All the men 20 years old or older were counted. Each man had to pay a tax of 1 beka[i] of silver. (Using the official measure, 1 beka is 1/2 shekel.[j]) There were 603,550 men. So they collected about 7550 pounds of silver. 27 They used most of the silver to make 100 bases for the Holy Tent and its curtains, 75 pounds[k] for each base. 28 They used the remaining 44 pounds[l] of silver to make the hooks, the curtain rods, and the silver covers for the posts.
29 They gave more than 2 1/2 tons[m] of bronze. 30 That bronze was used to make the bases at the entrance of the Meeting Tent. They also used the bronze to make the altar and the bronze grating. And the bronze was used to make all the tools and dishes for the altar. 31 It was also used to make the bases for the curtains around the courtyard and the bases for the curtains at the entrance. And the bronze was used to make the tent pegs for the Holy Tent and for the curtains around the courtyard.
