Exodus 38:21-31
211This is the number of the things for the 2tabernacle, the 3tabernacle of the testimony, as they were 4counted according to the 5command of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 22Now 6Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had commanded Moses. 23With him was 7Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and a skilled embroiderer, and a 8weaver in violet, in purple, and in scarlet material, and fine linen.
24All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary, 9which was the gold of the wave offering, was twenty-nine 10talents and 730 11shekels, according to 12the shekel of the sanctuary. 25And 13the silver of those of the congregation who were 14counted was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; 2615a beka a head (that is, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary), assessed to each one who passed over to those who were 16counted, from twenty years old and upward, for 17603,550 men. 27The hundred talents of silver were used for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent for a base. 28And of the 1,775 shekels, he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their tops and made 18bands for them. 29And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels. 30With it he made the bases to the doorway of the tent of meeting, and the bronze altar and its bronze grating, and all the utensils of the altar, 31and the bases of the courtyard all around and the bases of the gate of the courtyard, and all the pegs of the 19tabernacle and all the pegs of the courtyard all around.
