vessels of brass.
038:004 He made for the altar a grating of a network of brass,
under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up.
038:005 He cast four rings for the four ends of brass grating,
to be places for the poles.
038:006 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass.
038:007 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar,
with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.
038:008 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.
038:009 He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings
of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits;
038:010 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass;
the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
038:011 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.
038:012 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.
038:013 For the east side eastward fifty cubits.
038:014 The hangings for the one side were fifteen cubits;
their pillars three, and their sockets three;
038:015 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.
038:016 All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen.
038:017 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.
038:018 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.
038:019 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.
038:020 All the pins of the tent, and around the court, were of brass.
038:021 This is the amount of material used for the tent, even the Tent
of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to
the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites,
by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
038:022 Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
made all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
038:023 With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan,
an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue,
in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.
