Shemot, starting at chapter 37
{37:1} Betzal'el made the ark of shittim wood. Its length was two
and a half cubits, and its breadth a cubit and a half, and a cubit and
a half its height. {37:2} He overlaid it with pure gold inside and
outside, and made a molding of gold for it round about. {37:3} He cast
four rings of gold for it, in its four feet; even two rings on its one
side, and two rings on its other side. {37:4} He made poles of shittim
wood, and overlaid them with gold. {37:5} He put the poles into the
rings on the sides of the ark, to bear the ark. {37:6} He made a mercy
seat of pure gold. Its length was two and a half cubits, and a cubit
and a half its breadth. {37:7} He made two Keruvim of gold. He made
them of beaten work them, at the two ends of the mercy seat; {37:8}
one Keruv at the one end, and one Keruv at the other end. He made the
Keruvim of one piece with the mercy seat at its two ends. {37:9} The
Keruvim spread out their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with
their wings, with their faces toward one another. The faces of the
Keruvim were toward the mercy seat.
{37:10} He made the table of shittim wood. Its length was two
cubits, and its breadth was a cubit, and its height was a cubit and a
half. {37:11} He overlaid it with pure gold, and made a gold molding
around it. {37:12} He made a border of a handbreadth around it, and
made a golden molding on its border around it. {37:13} He cast four
rings of gold for it, and put the rings in the four corners that were
on its four feet. {37:14} The rings were close by the border, the
places for the poles to carry the table. {37:15} He made the poles of
shittim wood, and overlaid them with gold, to carry the table. {37:16}
He made the vessels which were on the table, its dishes, its spoons,
its bowls, and its pitchers with which to pour out, of pure gold.
{37:17} He made the menorah of pure gold. He made the menorah of
beaten work. Its base, its shaft, its cups, its buds, and its flowers
were of one piece with it. {37:18} There were six branches going out
of its sides: three branches of the menorah out of its one side, and
three branches of the menorah out of its other side: {37:19} three
cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a bud and a flower, and
three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a bud and a
flower: so for the six branches going out of the menorah. {37:20} In
the menorah were four cups made like almond-blossoms, its buds and its
flowers; {37:21} and a bud under two branches of one piece with it,
and a bud under two branches of one piece with it, and a bud under two
branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of it.
{37:22} Their buds and their branches were of one piece with it. The
whole thing was one beaten work of pure gold. {37:23} He made its
seven lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, of pure gold.
{37:24} He made it of a talent of pure gold, with all its vessels.
{37:25} He made the altar of incense of shittim wood. It was square:
its length was a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. Its height was two
cubits. Its horns were of one piece with it. {37:26} He overlaid it
with pure gold, its top, its sides around it, and its horns. He made a
gold molding around it. {37:27} He made two golden rings for it under
its molding crown, on its two ribs, on its two sides, for places for
poles with which to carry it. {37:28} He made the poles of shittim
wood, and overlaid them with gold. {37:29} He made the holy anointing
oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, after the art of the
perfumer.
{38:1} He made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood. It was
square. Its length was five cubits, its breadth was five cubits, and
its height was three cubits. {38:2} He made its horns on its four
corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with
brass. {38:3} He made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, the
shovels, the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the fire pans. He made all
its vessels of brass. {38:4} He made for the altar a grating of a
network of brass, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway
up. {38:5} He cast four rings for the four ends of brass grating, to
be places for the poles. {38:6} He made the poles of shittim wood, and
overlaid them with brass. {38:7} He put the poles into the rings on
the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with
planks.
{38:8} He made the basin of brass, and its base of brass, out of the
mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the
tent of meeting.
{38:9} He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings
of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits; {38:10}
their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the
hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. {38:11} For the
north side one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets
twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of
silver. {38:12} 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. {38:13} For the east side eastward fifty
cubits. {38:14} The hangings for the one side were fifteen cubits;
their pillars three, and their sockets three; {38:15} and so for the
other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were
hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets
three. {38:16} All the hangings around the court were of fine twined
linen. {38:17} The sockets for the pillars were of brass. The hooks of
the pillars and their fillets were of silver; and the overlaying of
their capitals, of silver; and all the pillars of the court were
filleted with silver. {38:18} The screen for the gate of the court was
the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined
linen. Twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was
five cubits, like to the hangings of the court. {38:19} Their pillars
were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver,
and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver.
{38:20} All the pins of the tent, and around the court, were of brass.
{38:21} This is the amount of material used for the tent, even the
Tent of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to the
[1>]mitzvah[<1] of Moshe, for the service of the Levites, by the hand
of Itamar, the son of Aharon the [2>]Kohen[<2]. {38:22} Betzal'el the
son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Yehudah, made all that the
LORD commanded Moshe. {38:23} With him was Oholi'av, the son of
Achisamakh, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman,
and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.
{38:24} All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of
the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents,
and seven hundred thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
{38:25} The silver of those who were numbered of the congregation was
one hundred talents, and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five
shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: {38:26} a beka a head,
that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for
everyone who passed over to those who were numbered, from twenty years
old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men.
{38:27} The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets
of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for
the one hundred talents, a talent for a socket. {38:28} Of the one
thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the
pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them. {38:29}
The brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand four
hundred shekels. {38:30} With this he made the sockets to the door of
the tent of meeting, the brazen altar, the brazen grating for it, all
the vessels of the altar, {38:31} the sockets around the court, the
sockets of the gate of the court, all the pins of the tent, and all
the pins around the court.
{39:1} Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked
garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy
garments for Aharon; as the LORD commanded Moshe.
{39:2} He made the efod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine
twined linen. {39:3} They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it
into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and
in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman. {39:4} They made
shoulder-pieces for it, joined together. At the two ends it was joined
together. {39:5} The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which
to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of
blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded
Moshe.
{39:6} They worked the [1>]shoham[<1] stones, enclosed in settings
of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the
names of the children of Yisra'el. {39:7} He put them on the
shoulder-pieces of the efod, to be stones of memorial for the children
of Yisra'el, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
{39:8} He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like
the work of the efod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine
twined linen. {39:9} It was square. They made the breastplate double.
Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, being double. {39:10}
They set in it four rows of stones. A row of [2>]odem[<2],
[3>]pitdah[<3], and bareket was the first row; {39:11} and the second
row, a [4>]nofek[<4], a sappir, and an [5>]yahalom[<5]; {39:12} and
the third row, a [6>]lehshem[<6], an shebu, and an akhlamah; {39:13}
and the fourth row, a tarshish, an [7>]shoham[<7], and a
[8>]yashefay[<8]. They were enclosed in gold settings. {39:14} The
stones were according to the names of the children of Yisra'el,
twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet,
everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes. {39:15} They
made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure
gold. {39:16} They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and
put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. {39:17} They put
the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the
breastplate. {39:18} The other two ends of the two braided chains they
put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the
efod, in the front of it. {39:19} They made two rings of gold, and put
them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was
toward the side of the efod inward. {39:20} They made two rings of
gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the efod underneath,
in the front of it, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven
band of the efod. {39:21} They bound the breastplate by its rings to
the rings of the efod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the
skillfully woven band of the efod, and that the breastplate might not
come loose from the efod, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
{39:22} He made the robe of the efod of woven work, all of blue.
{39:23} The opening of the robe in the midst of it was like the
opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it
should not be torn. {39:24} They made on the skirts of the robe
pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen. {39:25} They
made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates
around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates; {39:26} a
bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of
the robe, to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
{39:27} They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aharon,
and for his sons, {39:28} and the turban of fine linen, and the linen
headbands of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,
{39:29} and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and
scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
{39:30} They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and
wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: "HOLY TO THE
LORD." {39:31} They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the
turban above, as the LORD commanded Moshe.
{39:32} Thus all the work of the tent of the tent of meeting was
finished. The children of Yisra'el did according to all that the LORD
commanded Moshe; so they did. {39:33} They brought the tent to Moshe,
the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, it bars, its
pillars, its sockets, {39:34} the covering of rams' skins dyed red,
the covering of sea cow hides, the veil of the screen, {39:35} the ark
of the testimony with its poles, the mercy seat, {39:36} the table,
all its vessels, the show bread, {39:37} the pure menorah, its lamps,
even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the
light, {39:38} the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense,
the screen for the door of the Tent, {39:39} the brazen altar, its
grating of brass, its poles, all of its vessels, the basin and its
base, {39:40} the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the
screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, all the
instruments of the service of the tent, for the tent of meeting,
{39:41} the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place,
the holy garments for Aharon the [9>]Kohen[<9], and the garments of
his sons, to minister in the [10>]Kohen[<10]'s office. {39:42}
According to all that the LORD commanded Moshe, so the children of
Yisra'el did all the work. {39:43} Moshe saw all the work, and,
behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they
done it: and Moshe blessed them.
