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.

The Record of Materials

21 Here is a summary of materials for the Tent of Meeting that was compiled at Moses’ direction, the work of the descendants of Levi under the direction of Aaron the priest’s son Ithamar. 22 Now Uri’s son Bezalel, grandson of Hur from the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had ordered Moses to build.[a] 23 With him was Ahisamach’s son Oholiab from the tribe of Dan, an engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet material, and of fine linen.

24 All the gold that was used in the work, in all the work on the sanctuary, including[b] the gold from the wave offering, totaled[c] 29 talents,[d] 730 shekels,[e] according to the standard used in[f] the sanctuary. 25 The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded[g] totaled[h] 100 talents[i] and 1,775 shekels, according to the standard used in[j] the sanctuary; 26 a beka a head (a beka is half a shekel, according to the standard used in[k] the sanctuary) for everyone who went through the registration[l] process[m] from 20 years old and older. The total numbered 603,550 bekas.

27 One hundred talents[n] of silver were used to cast the sockets for the sanctuary and the sockets for the curtain, 100 sockets for 100 talents,[o] a talent[p] per socket. 28 And with 1,775 talents[q] he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their tops, and made bands for them.

29 The bronze from the wave offering totaled[r] 70 talents[s] and 2,400 shekels. 30 With it he made the sockets for the doorway to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze lattice for it, all the furnishings[t] for the altar, 31 the sockets for all around the court, the sockets for the gate to the court, all the pegs for the sanctuary, and all the pegs for all around the court.
