SHEMOTH 38 (Exodus 38)

1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, five ammah long and five ammah wide, square, and three ammah high.

2 And he made its horns on its four corners, the horns were of it. And he overlaid it with bronze.

3 And he made all the utensils for the altar: the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the forks, and the fire holders. He made all its utensils of bronze.

4 And he made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, under its rim, midway from the bottom.

5 And he cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles.

6 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze.

7 And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to lift it. He made the altar hollow with boards.

8 And he made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving women who did service at the door of the Tent of Appointment.

9 And he made the courtyard: for the south side the screens of the courtyard were of fine woven linen, one hundred ammah long,

10 their twenty columns and their twenty sockets, of bronze. The hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver.

11 And for the north side the screens were one hundred ammah long, their twenty columns and their twenty sockets, of bronze. The hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver.

12 And for the west side there were screens of fifty ammah, their ten columns and their ten sockets. The hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver.

13 And for the east side eastward, fifty ammah:

14 fifteen ammah of screens on the one side, with their three columns and their three sockets,

15 and fifteen ammah of screens the other side of the courtyard gate, on this side and that side, with their three columns and their three sockets.

16 All the screens of the courtyard all around were of fine woven linen.

17 And the sockets for the columns were of bronze, the hooks of the columns and their bands were of silver, and the overlay of their tops was of silver. And all the columns of the courtyard had bands of silver.

18 And the covering for the gate of the courtyard was the work of an embroiderer, of blue and purple and scarlet, and of fine woven linen, and twenty ammah long, and the height along its width was five ammah, corresponding to the screens of the courtyard.

19 And the columns were four, and their sockets of bronze four, their hooks were of silver, and the overlay of their tops and their bands was of silver.

20 And all the pegs of the Mishkan, and of the courtyard all around, were of bronze.

21 These were the appointments of the Mishkan, the Mishkan of the Witness, which was appointed by the command of Mosheh, for the service of the Lĕwites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aharon the kohĕn.

22 And Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yahuḏah, made all that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 had commanded Mosheh.

23 And with him: Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer, an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet, and in fine linen.

24 All the gold prepared for the work, in all the work of the qodesh place – and it was the gold of the wave offering – came to be twenty-nine kiḵars and seven hundred and thirty sheqels, according to the sheqel of the qodesh place.

25 And the silver from the ones counted of the congregation was one hundred kiḵars and one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five sheqels, according to the sheqel of the qodesh place:

26 a beqa, half a sheqel for a head, according to the sheqel of the qodesh place, for everyone passing over to those counted, from twenty years old and above, for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.

27 And the hundred kiḵars of silver were for casting the sockets of the qodesh place and the bases of the veil: one hundred sockets from the hundred kiḵars, a kiḵars for each socket.

28 And of the one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made hooks for the columns, and overlaid their tops, and made bands for them.

29 And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy kiḵars and two thousand four hundred sheqels.

30 And with it he made the sockets for the door of the Tent of Appointment, and the bronze altar, and the bronze grating for it, and all the utensils for the altar,

31 and the sockets for the courtyard all around, and the bases for the courtyard gate, and all the pegs for the Mishkan, and all the pegs for the courtyard all around.
