21These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the command of Moses, by the service of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.

22And Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh had commanded Moses.

23And with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, a designer, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet yarn, and in fine linen.

24All the gold that was used for the work, in all the work of the sanctuary—the gold of the wave offering—was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

25And the silver of those counted from the congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, according to the sanctuary shekel.

26a beka per head, that is, half a shekel by the sanctuary shekel, for everyone who passed over to those counted, from twenty years old and upward: 603,550.

27The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil: one hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent for each base.

28And with the one thousand seven hundred and seventy-five he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their tops, and made bands for them.

29And the bronze of the wave offering was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels.

30With it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, and all the utensils of the altar.

31the bases of the surrounding courtyard, the bases of the gate of the courtyard, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs of the surrounding courtyard.
