1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.1 The altar of holocausts was made of acacia wood, on a square, five cubits long and five cubits wide; its height was three cubits.
2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.2 At the four corners horns were made that sprang directly from the altar. The whole was plated with bronze.
3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.3 All the utensils of the altar, the pots, shovels, basins, forks and fire pans, were likewise made of bronze.
4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.4 A grating of bronze network was made for the altar and placed round it, on the ground, half as high as the altar itself.
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.5 Four rings were cast for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles,
6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.6 which were made of acacia wood and plated with bronze.
7 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.7 The poles were put through the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. The altar was made in the form of a hollow box.
8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.8 The bronze laver, with its bronze base, was made from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the meeting tent.
9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:9 The court was made as follows. On the south side of the court there were hangings, woven of fine linen twined, a hundred cubits long,

13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.13 On the east side the court was fifty cubits long.

15 And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.15 beyond the entrance of the court, there were likewise hangings to the extent of fifteen cubits, with three columns and three pedestals.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.16 The hangings on all sides of the court were woven of fine linen twined.
17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.17 The pedestals of the columns were of bronze, while the hooks and bands of the columns were of silver; the capitals were silver-plated, and all the columns of the court were banded with silver.
18 And the hanging for the gate of the court 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 court.18 At the entrance of the court there was a variegated curtain, woven of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined, twenty cubits long and five cubits wide, in keeping with the hangings of the court.
19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.19 There were four columns and four pedestals of bronze for it, while their hooks were of silver.

21 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.21 The following is an account of the various amounts used on the Dwelling, the Dwelling of the commandments, drawn up at the command of Moses by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
22 And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.22 However, it was Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, who made all that the Lord commanded Moses,
23 And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.23 and he was assisted by Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, who was an engraver, an embroiderer, and a weaver of variegated cloth of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen.
24 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.24 All the gold used in the entire construction of the sanctuary, having previously been given as an offering, amounted to twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel.
