Materials for the Tabernacle

Exodus 38

21 This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle of the Testimony, as counted at the command of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the [high] priest. 22 Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses. 23 With him was Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, a skillful craftsman, and embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff], and in fine linen.

24 All the gold that was used for the work in all the building and furnishing of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was 29 talents and 730 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And the silver from those numbered of the congregation was 100 talents and 1,775 shekels, by sanctuary standards: 26 A beka for each man, that is, half a shekel, by the sanctuary shekel, for everyone who was counted, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men. 27 The 100 talents of silver were for casting the sockets or bases of the sanctuary and of the veil; 100 sockets for the 100 talents, a talent for a socket. 28 Of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their tops, and made joinings for them. 29 The bronze of the offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels. 30 With it Bezalel made the sockets for the door of the Tent of Meeting, and the bronze altar and the bronze grate for it, and all the utensils of the altar, 31 The sockets of the court round about and of the court gate, and all the pegs of the tabernacle and around the court.
