Exodus 38

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
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.	1 He made also the altar of holocaust of setim wood, five cubits square, and three in height:
2 At the four corners horns were made that sprang directly from the altar. The whole was plated with bronze.	2 The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of brass.
3 All the utensils of the altar, the pots, shovels, basins, forks and fire pans, were likewise made of bronze.	3 And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks, and firepans.
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.	4 And he made the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth,
5 Four rings were cast for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles,	5 Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it.
6 which were made of acacia wood and plated with bronze.	6 And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of brass:
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.	7 And he drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within.
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.	8 He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watch at the door of the tabernacle.
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,	9 He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen, of a hundred cubits,
10 with twenty columns and twenty pedestals of bronze, the hooks and bands of the columns being of silver.	10 Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the heads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver.
11 On the north side there were similar hangings, one hundred cubits long, with twenty columns and twenty pedestals of bronze, the hooks and bands of the columns being of silver.	11 In like manner at the north side the hangings, the pillars, and the sockets and heads of the pillars were of the same measure, and work and metal.
12 On the west side there were hangings, fifty cubits long, with ten columns and ten pedestals, the hooks and bands of the columns being of silver.	12 But on that side that looketh to the west, there were hangings of fifty cubits, ten pillars of brass with their sockets, and the heads of the pillars, and all the graving of the work, of silver.
13 On the east side the court was fifty cubits long.	13 Moreover towards the east he prepared hangings of fifty cubits:
14 Toward one side there were hangings to the extent of fifteen cubits, with three columns and three pedestals; toward the other side,	14 Fifteen cubits of which were on one side with three pillars, and their sockets:
15 beyond the entrance of the court, there were likewise hangings to the extent of fifteen cubits, with three columns and three pedestals.	15 And on the other side (for between the two he made the entry of the tabernacle) there were hangings equally of fifteen cubits, and three pillars, and as many sockets.
16 The hangings on all sides of the court were woven of fine linen twined.	16 All the hangings of the court were woven with twisted linen.
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.	17 The sockets of the pillars were of brass, and their heads with all their gravings of silver: and he overlaid the pillars of the court also with silver.
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.	18 And he made in the entry thereof an embroidered hanging of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, that was twenty cubits long, and five cubits high according to the measure of all the hangings of the court.
19 There were four columns and four pedestals of bronze for it, while their hooks were of silver.	19 And the pillars in the entry were four with sockets of brass, and their heads and gravings of silver.
20 All the tent pegs for the Dwelling and for the court around it were of bronze.	20 The pins also of the tabernacle and of the court round about he made of brass.
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.	21 These are the instruments of the tabernacle of the testimony, which were counted according to the commandment of Moses, in the ceremonies of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest:
22 However, it was Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, who made all that the Lord commanded Moses,	22 Which Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda had made as the Lord commanded by Moses,
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.	23 Having for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan: who also was an excellent artificer in wood, and worker in tapestry and embroidery in violet, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.
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.	24 All the gold that was spent in the work of the sanctuary, and that was offered in gifts was nine and twenty talents, and seven hundred and thirty sicles according to the standard of the sanctuary.
25 The amount of the silver received from the community was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel;	25 And it was offered by them that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, of six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men able to bear arms.
26 one bekah apiece, that is, a half-shekel apiece, according to the standard of the sanctuary shekel, was received from every man of twenty years or more who entered the registered group; the number of these was six hundred and three thousand five hundred and fifty men.	26 There were moreover a hundred talents of silver, whereof were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and of the entry where the veil hangeth.
27 One hundred talents of silver were used for casting the pedestals of the sanctuary and the pedestals of the veil, one talent for each pedestal, or one hundred talents for the one hundred pedestals.	27 A hundred sockets were made of a hundred talents, one talent being reckoned for every socket.
28 The remaining one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels were used for making the hooks on the columns, for plating the capitals, and for banding them with silver.	28 And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made the heads of the pillars, which also he overlaid with silver.
29 The bronze, given as an offering, amounted to seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels.	29 And there were offered of brass also seventy-two thousand talents, and four hundred sicles besides.
30 With this were made the pedestals at the entrance of the meeting tent, the bronze altar with its bronze gratings and all the appurtenances of the altar,	30 Of which were cast the sockets in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony, and the altar of brass with the grate thereof, and all the vessels that belong to the use thereof.
31 the pedestals around the court, the pedestals at the entrance of the court, and all the tent pegs for the Dwelling and for the court around it.	31 And the sockets of the court as well round about as in the entry thereof, and the pins of the tabernacle and of the court round about.
