21 ¶ These are the parts of the Tabernacle, I mean, of the Tabernacle of the Testimony, which was appointed by the commandment of Moses for the office of the [a]Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the Priest.

22 So Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.

23 And with him Aholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a [b]cunning workman and an embroiderer, and a worker of needle work in blue silk, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.

24 All the gold that was occupied in all the work wrought for the holy place (which was the gold of the offering) was nine and twenty talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.

25 But the silver of them that were numbered in the Congregation, was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels, after the shekel of the Sanctuary.

26 A [c]portion for a man, that is, half a shekel after the shekel of the Sanctuary, for all them that were numbered from twenty years old and above, among six hundred thousand, and three thousand, and five hundred and fifty men.

27 Moreover there were an hundred talents of silver, to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil: an hundred sockets of an hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

28 But he made the hooks for the pillars of a thousand seven hundred and seventy and five shekels, and overlaid their chapiters, and made fillets about them.

29 Also the brass of the offering was seventy [d]talents, and two thousand, and four hundred shekels.

30 Whereof he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grate which was for it, with all the instruments of the Altar.

31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the (A)pins of the Tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
