Exodus 38
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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. 2 He made horns for it on its four corners; the horns were of one piece.[c] Then he overlaid it with bronze.
3 He made all the altar’s utensils: the pots, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; he made all its utensils of bronze. 4 He constructed for the altar a grate of bronze mesh under its ledge,[d] halfway up from the bottom. 5 At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles. 6 Also, he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 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
8 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
9 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.

Svenska 1917
38 Han gjorde ock brännoffersaltaret av akacieträ, fem alnar långt och fem alnar brett -- en liksidig fyrkant -- och tre alnar högt.
2 Och han gjorde hörn därtill och satte dem i dess fyra hörn; i ett stycke därmed gjordes hörnen. Och han överdrog det med koppar.
3 Och han gjorde altarets alla tillbehör, askkärlen, skovlarna, skålarna, gafflarna och fyrfaten. Alla dess tillbehör gjorde han av koppar.
4 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.
5 Och han göt fyra ringar och satte dem i de fyra hörnen på koppargallret, för att stängerna skulle skjutas in i dem.
6 Och han gjorde stängerna av akacieträ och överdrog dem med koppar.
7 Och han sköt stängerna in i ringarna på altarets sidor, så att man kunde bära det med dem. Ihåligt gjorde han det, av plankor.
8 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.
9 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.
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.
