Exodus 38:24-31

The Metal of the Sanctuary

²⁴ 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. ²⁵ And the silver given by those who were numbered of the people was a hundred talents, and a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place. ²⁶ 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. ²⁷ 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. ²⁸ 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. ²⁹ The brass which was given was seventy talents, two thousand four hundred shekels; ³⁰ 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, ³¹ 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.
