And he made the burnt offering altar of Sethim wood, five cubits long
and five cubits broad: even four square, and three cubits high. And he
made horns in the four corners of it proceeding out of it, and overlaid
it with brass. And he made all the vessels of the altar: the cauldrons,
shovels, basins, fleshhooks and coalpans all of brass. And he made a
brazen gridiron of network unto the altar round about alow beneath,
under the compass of the altar: so that it reached unto half the altar,
and cast four rings of brass for the four ends of the gridiron to put
staves in. And he made staves of sethim wood and covered them with
brass, and put the staves in the rings along by the altar side to bear
it withal, and made the altar hollow with boards. And he made the laver
of brass and the foot of it also of brass, in the sight of them that
did watch before the door of the tabernacle of witness. And he made the
court with hangings of twined byss of an hundred cubits long upon the
south side, and twenty pillars with twenty sockets of brass: but the
knops of the pillars, and the hoops were silver. And on the north side
the hangings were an hundred cubits long with twenty pillars and twenty
sockets of brass, but the knops and the hoops of the pillars were of
silver. And on the west side, were hangings of fifty cubits long, and
ten pillars with their ten sockets, and the knops and the hoops of the
pillars were silver. And on the east side toward the son rising, were
hangings of fifty cubits: the hangings of the one side of the gate were
fifteen cubits long, and their pillars three with their three sockets.
And of the other side of the court gate, were hangings also of fifteen
cubits long, and their pillars three with three sockets. Now all the
hangings of the court round about, were of twined byss, and the sockets
of the pillars were brass: but the knops and the hoops of the pillars
were silver, and the heads were overlaid with silver, and all the
pillars of the court were hooped about with silver. And the hanging of
the gate of the court was needlework: of jacinth, scarlet, purple, and
twined byss twenty cubits long and five in the breadth, according to
the hangings of the court. And the pillars were four with four sockets
of brass, and the knops of silver, and the heads overlaid with silver
and hooped about with silver, and all the pins of the tabernacle and of
the court round about were brass. This is the sum of the habitation of
witness, which was counted at the commandment of Moses: and was the
office of the Levites by the hand of Ithamar son to Aaron the priest.
And Bezaleel son of Uri son to Hur of the tribe of Iuda, made all that
the LORD commanded Moses, and with him Ahaliab son of Ahisamach of the
tribe of Dan, a cunning graver and a worker of needle work in jacinth,
scarlet, purple and byss. All the gold that was occupied upon all the
work of the holy place (which was the gold of the wave offering) was,
