Amounts of Gold, Silver, and Bronze Used

²¹ These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, which were recorded at the command of^[a] Moses, the work of the Levites, in the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. ²² And Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, did all that Yahweh commanded Moses. ²³ And with him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, a skilled craftsman and a designer and an embroiderer with the blue and with the purple and with the crimson yarns and with the linen.

²⁴ And all the gold used for the work, in the work of the sanctuary, it was the gold of the wave offering—twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

²⁵ And the silver recorded from the community was a hundred talents and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel. ²⁶ It was a bekah for the individual, the half shekel according to the sanctuary shekel, for everyone who was counted,^[b] from twenty years old^[c] and above, for six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty. ²⁷ And it was one hundred talents of the silver to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the curtain—one hundred bases for one hundred talents of silver, a talent for each base. ²⁸ And from the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and he overlaid their tops, and he made bands for them.

²⁹ And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels. ³⁰ And he made with it the bases of the entrance of the tent of assembly and the bronze altar and the bronze grating that belonged to it and all the equipment of the altar ³¹ and the bases of the courtyard all around and the bases of the gate of the courtyard and all the pegs^[d] of the tabernacle and all the pegs^[e] of the courtyard all around.
