Exodus 38
Modern English Version
Making the Altar of Burnt Offering(A)
38 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was five cubits[a] long and five cubits wide. It was square, and it was three cubits high.[b] 2 He made its horns on its four corners. The horns were part of the same piece, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 He made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh hooks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze. 4 He made for the altar a bronze grating, a network beneath, under its ledge, reaching halfway up. 5 He cast four rings for the four ends of the bronze grating to provide places for the poles. 6 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar with which to carry it. He made the altar hollow, out of boards.
Making the Bronze Basin
8 He made the basin of bronze with its base of bronze from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Making the Court of the Tabernacle(B)
9 He made the courtyard: On the south side southward the hangings of the courtyard were of fine twisted linen, one hundred cubits;[c] 10 their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. 11 For the north side the hangings were one hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty sockets were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver.
12 For the west side the hangings were fifty cubits[d] with their ten pillars and their ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver. 13 For the east side eastward, fifty cubits. 14 The hangings of one side of the gate were fifteen cubits[e] with their three pillars and their three sockets, 15 and also for the other side of the court gate. On both sides of the gate of the courtyard the hangings were fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three sockets. 16 All the hangings of the courtyard all around were of fine twisted linen. 17 The sockets for the pillars were of bronze, the hooks of the pillars and their bands were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops of silver, and all the pillars of the courtyard were furnished with silver bands.
18 The screen for the gate of the courtyard was embroidered of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen. Its length was twenty cubits,[f] and its height was five cubits,[g] corresponding to the hangings of the courtyard. 19 Their four pillars and their four sockets were of bronze. Their hooks and their bands were of silver, and the overlaying of their tops and their bands were of silver. 20 All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the courtyard all around were bronze.
The Inventory of the Tabernacle
21 This is the inventory of the tabernacle, 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 of Aaron the priest. 22 Bezalel, the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses. 23 With him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer, an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine linen. 24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the wave offering, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels,[h] according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
25 The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was one hundred talents,[i] and a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels,[j] according to the shekel of the sanctuary; 26 a bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel,[k] according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who was numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men. 27 The hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil—a hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. 28 Of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their tops and made bands for them.
29 The bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels.[l] 30 With it he made the sockets for the door of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, 31 and the sockets of the courtyard all around, and the sockets of the courtyard gate, and all the tent pegs of the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs of the courtyard all around.

38 IGUALMENTE hizo el altar del holocausto de madera de Sittim: su longitud de cinco codos, y su anchura de otros cinco codos, cuadrado, y de tres codos de altura.
2 E hízole sus cuernos á sus cuatro esquinas, los cuales eran de la misma pieza, y cubriólo de metal.
3 Hizo asimismo todos los vasos del altar: calderas, y tenazas, y tazones, y garfios, y palas: todos sus vasos hizo de metal.
4 E hizo para el altar el enrejado de metal, de hechura de red, que puso en su cerco por debajo hasta el medio del altar.
5 Hizo también cuatro anillos de fundición á los cuatro cabos del enrejado de metal, para meter las varas.
6 E hizo las varas de madera de Sittim, y cubriólas de metal.
7 Y metió las varas por los anillos á los lados del altar, para llevarlo con ellas: hueco lo hizo, de tablas.
8 También hizo la fuente de metal, con su basa de metal, de los espejos de las que velaban á la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio.
9 Hizo asimismo el atrio; á la parte austral del mediodía las cortinas del atrio eran de cien codos, de lino torcido:
10 Sus columnas veinte, con sus veinte basas de metal: los capiteles de las columnas y sus molduras, de plata.
11 Y á la parte del aquilón cortinas de cien codos: sus columnas veinte, con sus veinte basas de metal; los capiteles de las columnas y sus molduras, de plata.
12 A la parte del occidente cortinas de cincuenta codos: sus columnas diez, y sus diez basas; los capiteles de las columnas y sus molduras, de plata.
13 Y á la parte oriental, al levante, cortinas de cincuenta codos:
14 Al un lado cortinas de quince codos, sus tres columnas, y sus tres basas;
15 Al otro lado, de la una parte y de la otra de la puerta del atrio, cortinas de á quince codos, sus tres columnas, y sus tres basas.
16 Todas las cortinas del atrio alrededor eran de lino torcido.
17 Y las basas de las columnas eran de metal; los capiteles de las columnas y sus molduras, de plata; asimismo las cubiertas de las cabezas de ellas, de plata: y todas las columnas del atrio tenían molduras de plata.
18 Y el pabellón de la puerta del atrio fué de obra de recamado, de jacinto, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino torcido: la longitud de veinte codos, y la altura en el ancho de cinco codos, conforme á las cortinas del atrio.
19 Y sus columnas fueron cuatro con sus cuatro basas de metal: y sus capiteles de plata; y las cubiertas de los capiteles de ellas y sus molduras, de plata.
20 Y todas las estacas del tabernáculo y del atrio alrededor fueron de metal.
21 Estas son las cuentas del tabernáculo, del tabernáculo del testimonio, lo que fué contado de orden de Moisés por mano de Ithamar, hijo de Aarón sacerdote, para el ministerio de los Levitas.
22 Y Bezaleel, hijo de Uri, hijo de Hur, de la tribu de Judá, hizo todas las cosas que Jehová mandó á Moisés.
23 Y con él estaba Aholiab, hijo de Ahisamac, de la tribu de Dan, artífice, y diseñador, y recamador en jacinto, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino fino.
24 Todo el oro empleado en la obra, en toda la obra del santuario, el cual fué oro de ofrenda, fué veintinueve talentos, y setecientos y treinta siclos, según el siclo del santuario.
25 Y la plata de los contados de la congregación fué cien talentos, y mil setecientos setenta y cinco siclos, según el siclo del santuario:
26 Medio por cabeza, medio siclo, según el siclo del santuario, á todos los que pasaron por cuenta de edad de veinte años y arriba, que fueron seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta.
27 Hubo además cien talentos de plata para hacer de fundición las basas del santuario y las basas del velo: en cien basas cien talentos, á talento por basa.
28 Y de los mil setecientos setenta y cinco siclos hizo los capiteles de las columnas, y cubrió los capiteles de ellas, y las ciñó.
29 Y el metal de la ofrenda fué setenta talentos, y dos mil cuatrocientos siclos;
30 Del cual hizo las basas de la puerta del tabernáculo del testimonio, y el altar de metal, y su enrejado de metal, y todos los vasos del altar.
