KING JAMES BIBLECATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
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 He also made the altar of holocaust from setim wood: five cubits square, and three in height,
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 the horns of which proceeded from the corners. And he covered it with layers of brass.
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 And for its uses, he prepared diverse vessels out of brass: kettles, forceps, little hooks, larger hooks, and receptacles for the fire.
4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.4 And he made its grating of brass, in the manner of a net, and under it, in the midst of the altar, its base,
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.5 casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.
6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.6 These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.
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 And he drew them through the rings, which projected from the sides of the altar. But the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, made from panels and empty inside.
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 He also made the washtub of brass, with its base made from the mirrors of the women who kept watch at the door of the tabernacle.
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 He also made the atrium, at the south side of which were hangings of fine twisted linen of one hundred cubits and
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.10 twenty columns of brass with their bases. The heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.
11 And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.11 Equally, at the northern area, the hangings, the columns, and the bases and heads of the columns were of the same measure and work and metal.
12 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.12 Yet truly, on that side which looks out toward the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns with their bases of brass. And the heads of the columns and all of the engraving work were of silver.
13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.13 Furthermore, toward the east, he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:
14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.14 of which, there were fifteen cubits, among three columns with their bases, holding up one side,
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 and on the other side, (for between the two he made the entrance of the tabernacle) there were equally hangings of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and the same number of bases.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.16 All the hangings of the atrium were woven from fine twisted linen.
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 bases of the columns were of brass, but their heads with all of their engravings were of silver. Now he also overlaid the columns of the atrium themselves 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 And he made, at its entrance, a hanging, wrought with embroidery, of hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen, which held twenty cubits in length, yet truly it was five cubits in height, as with the measure of all the hangings of the atrium.
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 Now the columns at the entrance were four, with bases of brass, and their heads and engravings were of silver.
20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.20 Likewise, the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium all around he made of brass.
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 These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were enumerated according to the instruction of Moses, with the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the 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 which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur from the tribe of Judah, had completed, just as the Lord decreed through 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 He was joined by his associate, Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, who himself was also an exceptional artisan of wood, and of weaving, as well as of embroidery, with hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and 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 of the gold that was expended in the work of the Sanctuary, and that was offered in donation, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the measure of the Sanctuary.
25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:25 Now it was offered by those who were past the numbering of twenty years and above: from six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.
26 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.26 There were, beyond that, one hundred talents of silver, from which were cast the bases for the Sanctuary and for the entrance where the veil hangs.
27 And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.27 One hundred bases were made from one hundred talents, a single talent being counted for each base.
28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.28 But from one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five, he made the heads of the columns, which he also clothed with silver.
29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.29 Likewise, of brass, there was offered seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred more shekels,
30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,30 from which were cast the bases at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with its grating, and the vessels which pertain to its use,
31 And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.31 and the bases of the atrium, as much at the circumference as at its entrance, and the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the atrium all round.
