18 At the entrance to the courtyard there was a curtain of fine braided linen and blue, purple and red threads, the work of an embroiderer. It was nine meters long and, like the curtains in the courtyard, it was two meters and twenty-five centimeters high,
19 with four columns and four bronze bases. Their hooks and ligatures were of silver, and the tops of the pillars were also overlaid with silver.
20 All the pegs of the tent of the tabernacle and the courtyard surrounding it were made of bronze.
21 This is the list of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the covenant, recorded by order of Moses by the Levites, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron, the priest.
22 Bezalel, son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, did everything that the Lord had commanded Moses.
23 With him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and designer, and also an embroiderer of fine linen and blue, purple and red thread.
24 The total weight of the gold received in the wave offering and used for the work of the sanctuary was one ton, based on the standard weight of the sanctuary.
25 The weight of the silver received from those counted in the community census was over three and a half tons, based on the standard weight of the sanctuary:
26 six grams for each of those enumerated, six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men from twenty years of age and upward.
27 The three and a half tons of silver were used to cast the bases of the sanctuary and the veil: one hundred bases made of the three and a half tons, thirty-five kilos for each base.
28 Twenty kilograms and three hundred grams were used to make the hooks for the columns, to cover the upper part of the columns and to make their ligatures.
29 The weight of the bronze of the wave offering was two and a half tons.
30 He used it to make the foundations for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar, its grate and all its utensils,
31 the foundations of the surrounding courtyard and its entrance, and all the stakes of the tabernacle and the surrounding courtyard.
