1He built the altar for burnt offerings from acacia wood. It was square, measuring seven and a half feet long, seven and a half feet wide, and four and a half feet high.
2He made horns on its four corners; these horns were part of the altar itself, and he covered the altar with bronze.
3He made all the tools for the altar out of bronze: the pots, shovels, bowls, meat forks, and fire pans.
4He made a bronze griddle, like a net, for the altar. He placed it under the altar's rim, reaching halfway up the altar.
5He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze griddle to hold the carrying poles.
6He made the poles from acacia wood and covered them with bronze.
7He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it. He constructed the altar with hollow planks.
8He made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
9He constructed the courtyard. On the south side, the hangings for the courtyard were made of fine twisted linen and were 150 feet long.
10There were twenty posts and twenty bronze bases for them. The hooks on the posts and their connecting rods were made of silver.
11For the north side, the hangings were 150 feet long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks on the posts and their connecting rods were made of silver.
12For the west side, the hangings were 75 feet long, with ten posts and ten bases. The hooks on the posts and their connecting rods were made of silver.
13For the east side, the hangings were 75 feet long.
14On one side of the entrance, the hangings were 22 and a half feet long, with three posts and three bases.
15Similarly, on the other side of the courtyard gate, the hangings were 22 and a half feet long, with three posts and three bases.
16All the hangings around the courtyard were made of fine twisted linen.
17The bases for the posts were made of bronze. The hooks on the posts and their connecting rods were made of silver. The tops of the posts were covered with silver, and all the courtyard posts were strung together with silver rods.
18The screen for the courtyard gate was made by an embroiderer using blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen. It was thirty feet long and seven and a half feet high, just like the curtains of the courtyard.
19It had four posts and four bronze bases. Its hooks were silver, and the tops of the posts and their connecting rods were also silver.
20All the pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard were made of bronze.
21This is the record of the materials used for the tabernacle, that is, the Tabernacle of the Testimony. They were counted according to Moses' command for the Levites' service, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
22Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, made everything Yahweh commanded Moses.
23Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, worked with him. Oholiab was a skilled engraver, designer, and embroiderer in blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.
24All the gold used for building the sanctuary — the gold that was donated — weighed 29 talents and 730 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
25The silver from those who were counted in the community weighed 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.
26This was a beka (half a shekel) per person, according to the sanctuary shekel, for everyone twenty years old and above who was counted. There were 603,550 men.
27The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the bases for the sanctuary and the bases for the curtain. One hundred bases were made from 100 talents, one talent per base.
28From the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the posts, overlaid their tops, and made connecting rods for them.
29The bronze that was donated weighed 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.
30With this bronze, he made the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar, its bronze grating, and all its utensils.
31He also made the bases for the courtyard all around, the bases for the courtyard gate, and all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the surrounding courtyard.
