The gold used for all the different work done for the holy place, the gold which was given, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

A beka, that is, half a shekel by the holy scale, for everyone who was numbered; there were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men of twenty years old and over.

Of this silver, a hundred talents was used for making the bases of the pillars of the holy place and of the veil; a talent for every base.

And a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels of silver was used to make the hooks for the pillars, and for plating the tops of the pillars and for making their bands.

The brass which was given was seventy talents, two thousand four hundred shekels;

From it he made the bases of the doorway of the Tent of meeting and the brass altar and the network for it and all the vessels for the altar,

And the bases for the open space all round and for its doorway, and all the nails for the House and for the open space.

And from the needlework of blue and purple and red they made the robes used for the work of the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

And they made two bands for joining its edges together at the top of the arms.

These he put on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel, as the Lord had said to Moses.

And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.

The coats for Aaron and his sons they made of the best linen;

And the twisted head-dress for Aaron, and beautiful head-dresses of linen, and linen trousers,

The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

The outer cover of sheepskins coloured red, and the cover of leather, and the veil for the doorway;

The support for the lights, with the vessels for the lights to be put in their places on it, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lights;

And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent;

The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting;

The robes for use in the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron and his sons when acting as priests.

And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

And put oil on them as you did on their father, so that they may be my priests: the putting on of oil will make them priests for ever, from generation to generation.

The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

For the cloud of the Lord was resting on the House by day, and at night there was fire in the cloud, before the eyes of all the people of Israel, and so it was through all their journeys.
