²¹ This is the inventory for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony,^(A) that was recorded at Moses’ command. It was the work of the Levites under the direction of^[a] Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.^{(B) 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,^[b] according to the sanctuary shekel.^{(C) 25} The silver from those of the community who were registered was 7,544 pounds,^[c] according to the sanctuary shekel— ²⁶ 2⁄5 of an ounce^[d] 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^[e] of silver used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil—100 bases from 7,500 pounds,^[f] 75 pounds^[g] for each base.^{(D) 28} With the remaining 44 pounds^[h] he made the hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and supplied bands^[i] for them.
