Exodus 38

Revised Geneva Translation

38 Also, he made the Altar of the Burnt Offering of shittim wood. Its length was five cubits, its breadth five cubits (it was square); and it was three cubits high.

² And he made horns for it, on its four corners. Its horns were part of the same piece; and he overlaid it with copper.

³ Also, he made all the instruments of the altar: the pans, the shovels, the basins, the fleshhooks, and the firepans. He made all its instruments of copper.

⁴ Moreover, he made a copper grate for the Altar, under its rim, midway from its bottom.

⁵ And cast four rings of copper for the four corners of the grate, to put poles in.

⁶ And he made the poles of shittim wood and covered them with copper,

⁷ which he put into the rings, on the sides of the Altar, to bear it. And he made it hollow, with boards.

⁸ Also, he made the pots of copper (and their bases of copper) from the mirrors of the women who assembled and came together at the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

⁹ Finally, he made the court on the south side. The hangings of the court were of fine-twined linen, a hundred cubits long.

¹⁰ There were twenty pillars, with their twenty copper sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.

¹¹ And on the north side, the hangings were a hundred cubits. There were twenty pillars, with their twenty copper sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.

¹² Also on the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars with their ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars, and their bands, were of silver.

¹³ And toward the east side were hangings of fifty cubits.

¹⁴ The hangings of one side were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.

¹⁵ And on the other side of the court gate, on both sides, were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.

¹⁶ All the hangings of the court were of fine-twined linen, all around.

¹⁷ But the sockets of the pillars were of copper. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver; and the covering of their capitals were of silver. And all the pillars of the court were wrapped with silver.

¹⁸ He also made the hanging for the court gate of needlework—blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine-twined linen, twenty cubits long and five cubits in height and breadth—like the hangings of the court.

¹⁹ And there were four pillars (with their four sockets) of copper. Their hooks were of silver; and the covering of the capitals, and their bands, were of silver.

²⁰ But all the pegs of the Tabernacle, and of the court, were of copper, all around.

²¹ These are the parts of the Tabernacle—of the Tabernacle of the Testimony —which was appointed by commandment of Moses for the office of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the Priest.

²² So Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.

²³ And with him, Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a skillful workman and an embroiderer, and a weaver in blue silk, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.

²⁴ All the gold which was used in all the work made for the Holy Place (which was the gold of the offering) was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary.

²⁵ But the silver of those who were numbered in the Congregation was a hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary:

²⁶ a bekah for a man—that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the Sanctuary—for all those who were numbered (from twenty years old and above) among 603,550 men.

²⁷ Moreover, there were a hundred talents of silver (to cast the sockets of the Sanctuary and the sockets of the veil), a hundred sockets of a hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

²⁸ But he made the hooks for the pillars for 1,775 shekels and overlaid their capitals and made bands around them.

²⁹ Also the copper of the offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.

³⁰ Of which he made the sockets to the door of the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the copper Altar, and its copper grate, with all the instruments of the Altar,

³¹ and the sockets of the court all around, and the sockets for the court gate, and all the pegs of the Tabernacle, and all the pegs of the court, all around.
