Exodus
Summary
The Altar of Burnt Offering and the Bronze Basin are created. The Courtyard of the Tabernacle is constructed with its pillars and curtains. An inventory of the materials used lists the immense amounts of gold, silver, and bronze donated by the people.
And he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with bronze.
And he made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the flesh-hooks, and the fire-pans: all the vessels thereof made he of bronze.
And he made for the altar a bronze grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of bronze, to be places for the staves.
And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze.
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.
And he made the laver of bronze, and the foot of it of bronze, from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
And he made the courtyard: on the south side southward the hangings of the courtyard were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits:
Their pillars were twenty, and their bronze sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
And for the north side the hangings were a hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of bronze twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
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.
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
And for the other side of the courtyard gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
All the hangings of the courtyard round about were of fine twined linen.
And the sockets for the pillars were of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the courtyard were filleted with silver.
And the hanging for the gate of the courtyard 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 courtyard.
And their pillars were four, and their sockets of bronze four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the courtyard round about, were of bronze.
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.
And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
And with him was Oholiab, son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilled workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
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.
And the silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
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.
And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
And the bronze of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the bronze altar, and the bronze grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
And the sockets of the courtyard round about, and the sockets of the courtyard gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the courtyard round about.
