The Altar for Burnt Offerings^(A)

38 Then he built the altar for burnt offerings [Lev. 1] out of acacia wood. The altar was square—·seven and one-half feet [^Lfive cubits] long and ·seven and one-half feet [^Lfive cubits] wide—and it was ·four and one-half feet [^Lthree cubits] high. ² He made each corner stick out like a horn [27:2] so that the horns and the altar were joined together in one piece. Then he ·covered [overlaid] the altar with bronze. ³ He made all the ·tools [utensils] of bronze to use on the altar: the pots, shovels, ·bowls for sprinkling blood [^Lbasins], meat forks, and ·pans for carrying the fire [firepans]. ⁴ He made a large bronze screen to hold the burning wood for the altar and put it inside the altar, under its ·rim [ledge], halfway up from the bottom. ⁵ He made bronze rings to hold the poles for carrying the altar, and he put them at the four corners of the screen. ⁶ Then he made poles of acacia wood and ·covered [overlaid] them with bronze. ⁷ He put the poles through the rings on both sides of the altar, to carry it. He made the altar of boards and left the inside hollow.

The Bronze Bowl^(B)

⁸ He made the bronze ·bowl for washing [basin], and he built it on a bronze stand. He used the bronze from mirrors that belonged to the women who served at the entrance to the Meeting Tent.

The Courtyard of the Holy Tent^(C)

⁹ Then he made ·a wall of curtains to form a courtyard around the Holy Tent [the court]. On the south side the curtains were ·one hundred fifty feet [^Lone hundred cubits] long and were made of fine linen. ¹⁰ The curtains hung on silver hooks and bands, placed on twenty bronze ·posts [pillars] with twenty bronze bases. ¹¹ On the north side the wall of curtains was also ·one hundred fifty feet [^Lone hundred cubits] long, and it hung on silver hooks and bands on twenty ·posts [pillars] with twenty bronze bases.

¹² On the west side of the courtyard, the wall of curtains was ·seventy-five feet [^Lfifty cubits] long. It was held up by silver hooks and bands on ten ·posts [pillars] with ten bases. ¹³ The [^Lfront of the] east side was also ·seventy-five feet [^Lfifty cubits] long. ¹⁴ On one side of the entry there was a wall of curtains ·twenty-two and one-half feet [^Lfifteen cubits] long, held up by three ·posts [pillars] and three bases. ¹⁵ On the other side of the entry there was also a wall of curtains ·twenty-two and one-half feet [^Lfifteen cubits] long, held up by three ·posts [pillars] and three bases. ¹⁶ All the curtains around the courtyard were made of fine linen. ¹⁷ The bases for the ·posts [pillars] were made of bronze. The hooks and the bands on the ·posts [pillars] were made of silver, and the tops of the ·posts [pillars] were ·covered [overlaid] with silver also. All the ·posts [pillars] in the courtyard had silver bands.

¹⁸ The ·curtain [screen] for the ·entry [gate] of the courtyard was made of blue, purple, and ·red [scarlet] thread, and fine linen, ·sewn by a person who could sew well [embroidered with needlework]. The curtain was ·thirty feet [^Ltwenty cubits] long and ·seven and one-half feet [^Lfive cubits] high, the same height as the curtains around the courtyard. ¹⁹ It was held up by four ·posts [pillars] and four bronze bases. The hooks and bands on the posts were made of silver, and the tops on the ·posts [pillars] were ·covered [overlaid] with silver. ²⁰ All the tent pegs for the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] and for the curtains around the courtyard were made of bronze.

²¹ This is a ·list of the materials used to make [inventory; record of] the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle], the ·Holy Tent [^LTabernacle] ·where the Agreement was kept [^Lof the Covenant/Testimony/Treaty; ^Creference to the tablets of the Ten Commandments; ch. 20]. Moses ordered the Levites to make this list, ·and Ithamar son of Aaron was in charge of keeping it [^Lby the hand of Ithama son of Aaron]. ²² Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made everything the Lord commanded Moses. ²³ Oholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan ·helped [^Lwas with] him. He ·could cut designs into metal and stone; he was a designer and also skilled at sewing [^Lwas an engraver, designer, and embroiderer of] the blue, purple, and ·red [scarlet] thread, and fine linen.

²⁴ The total amount of gold used to build the Holy ·Tent [Place] was ·presented [^Loffered as a wave offering] to the Lord. It weighed over ·2,000 pounds [^L29 talents and 730 shekels], as set by the Holy Place measure.

²⁵ The silver was given by the ·members of the community [congregation; assembly] who were counted. It weighed ·7,550 pounds [^L100 talents and 1,775 shekels], as set by the Holy Place measure. ²⁶ All the men twenty years old or older were counted. There were 603,550 men, and each ·man [head] had to pay ·one-fifth of an ounce [^La beka, that is half a shekel] of silver, as set by the Holy Place measure. ²⁷ Of this silver, ·7,500 pounds [^L100 talents] were used to ·make [cast] the one hundred bases for the Holy Tent and for the curtain—·75 pounds of silver [^La talent] in each base. ²⁸ They used ·50 pounds of silver [^L1775 shekels] to make the hooks for the ·posts [pillars] and to ·cover [overlay] the tops of the ·posts [pillars] and to make the bands on them.

²⁹ The bronze which was ·presented [^Loffered as a wave offering] to the Lord weighed about ·5,000 pounds [70 talents and 2400 shekels]. ³⁰ They used ·the bronze to make the bases at the entrance of the Meeting Tent, to make the altar and the bronze ·screen [grating], and to make all the ·tools [utensils] for the altar. ³¹ ·This bronze was also used to make [^L…and the] bases for the wall of curtains around the courtyard and bases for curtains at the ·entry [^Lgate] to the courtyard, as well as to make the tent pegs for the ·Holy Tent [Tabernacle] and the pegs around the courtyard.
