1
And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
2
And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
3
And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4
And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
5
And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6
And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7
And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8
And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9
And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10
Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11
And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12
And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
13
And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14
The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15

All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.

18
And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court.
19
And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver.
20
And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21
This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest.
22
And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
23
And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen.
24
All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary.
25
And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
26
A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.
27
And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.
28
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29
And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30
And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar,
31
And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

Tunney's Exodus Chapter 38 comment about verse 8 on 1/06/2024, 10:13am...

Praise the LORD for HIS Word.

John 1:

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.

12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:

13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

GOD to shine HIS face gloriously on all who love and look forward to HIS coming!

GiGi's Exodus Chapter 38 comment about verse 8 on 10/02/2022, 4:22pm...

Exodus Chapter 38,

This Chapter continues with describing what Bezalel and his assistant, Aholiab, made for the tablernacle.

It also speaks of the total amounts of gold, silver, and bronze used to create these items. I do not know how much a talent or bekah is. But I think that the total amounts were probably a large and costly amount.

I know that the tabernacle and all of the furnishings are representations of what is in heaven. And I do believe that whet is in heaven is outstandingly glorious. So, perhaps that is why God had the earthly tabernacle be so elaborate and costly. Even so, perhaps He also wanted the Israelites to invest these very valuable metals in Him, and not hold on to them for monetary security. Their treasure was now invested in God and they will come to know Him as their priceless treasure. The costliness of these furnishings pale in comparison to the value of God.
