24(39:1) All the gold that was employed for the works according to all the fabrication of the holy things, was of the gold of the offerings, twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and twenty shekels according to the holy shekel. 25(39:2) And the offering of silver from the men that were numbered of the congregation a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, one drachm apiece, even the half shekel, according to the holy shekel. 26(39:3) Every one that passed the survey from twenty years old and upwards to the number of six hundred thousand, and three thousand five hundred and fifty. 27(39:4) And the hundred talents of silver went to the casting of the hundred chapiters of the tabernacle, and to the chapiters of the veil; 28(39:5) a hundred chapiters to the hundred talents, a talent to a chapiter. 29(39:6) And the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he formed into hooks for the pillars, and he gilt their chapiters and adorned them. 30(39:7) And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and a thousand five hundred shekels; 31(39:8) and they made of it the bases of the door of the tabernacle of witness, (39:9) and the bases of the court round about, and the bases of the gate of the court, and the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court round about; (39:10) and the brazen appendage of the altar, and all the vessels of the altar, and all the instruments of the tabernacle of witness.
