Exo 38:21–31

38:21 List of metals used

21 These are the records from making the sacred tent (where the stone transcripts were kept). They were recorded by the Levites according to Mosheh’s (Moses’) instructions and supervised by Itamar (a son of Aharon (Aaron) the priest).

22 Betsalel (son of Uri son of Hur, from the Yehudah (Judah) tribe) made everything that Yahweh had instructed Mosheh to make. 23 Oholiav (son of Ahisamak, from the Dan tribe) worked with him—he was an engraver and a designer and an embroiderer in blue, purple, and scarlet, and in fine linen.

24 The gold that they used for the construction of the sacred tent was measured at 965 kilograms. This was the gold from the wave offering and was weighed using the official standard weights. 25 The silver contributed by the people was measured at 3,420 kilograms also using the official weights.[ref] 26 During the census, every male who was twenty years old or older paid a 5g silver coin[ref]—a total of 603,550 men. 27 They’d used 3,400 kilograms of silver to make the bases under the pillars that supported the sacred tent’s curtains (34 kilograms for each of one hundred bases) 28 and the other twenty kilograms were used for the hooks for the pillars and for the caps on the tops of them. 29 The bronze from the wave offering came to 2,400 kilograms 30 and it was used to make the bases for the pillars at the tent entrance and for the altar and its grating and all the utensils, 31 and for the bases for the posts for the curtains around the courtyard and at the entrance, and for the tent pegs for the main structure and around the courtyard.
