The Things Numbered for the Tabernacle
21 These are the things numbered for the [a]tabernacle, the [b]tabernacle of the testimony, as they were [c]numbered according to the [d]command of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 22 Now (A)Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses. 23 With him was (B)Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and a skillful designer and a [e]weaver in [f]blue and in purple and in scarlet material and fine linen.
24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was [g]29 talents and [h]730 shekels, according to (C)the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 (D)The silver of those of the congregation who were [i]numbered was [j]100 talents and [k]1,775 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; 26 (E)a beka a head (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), for each one who passed over to those who were [l]numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for (F)603,550 men. 27 One hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; one hundred bases for one hundred talents, a talent for a base. 28 Of the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their tops and made bands for them. 29 The bronze of the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels. 30 With it he made the bases to the doorway of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, 31 and the bases of the court all around and the bases of the gate of the court, and all the pegs of the [m]tabernacle and all the pegs of the court all around.
