Shabbat, 29 Adar, 5785 (29 March, 2025)
Shemot (Exodus) Chapter 38
| 21 These are the appointments over the Tabernacle—the Tabernacle being a testimony—assigned by Moses. The work of the Levites was to be under the direction of Itamar, son of Aaron the priest. |
| 22 Betzalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, had carried out all that God had commanded Moses. |
| 23 With him was Oholiav son of Achisamach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and weaver, and an embroiderer in turquoise, purple, and scarlet wool, and in linen. |
| 24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the holy work—that is, the gold of the wave-offering—came to 29 talents and 730 shekels, of the sacred shekels. |
| 25 The silver from those of the community who had been counted came to 100 talents and 1775 shekels, of the sacred shekels: |
| 26 a beka per head, which is a half-shekel according to the weight of the sacred shekel, for all those 20 years and over, who had passed through the line of those counted in the census, 603,550 in all, as follows: |
| 27 The 100 talents of silver were used for casting the bases for the Tabernacle and the bases for the Curtain: 100 bases from 100 talents, one talent for each base. |
| 28 And with the 1775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars of the Courtyard, overlaid their tops, and banded them. |
| 29 The copper of the wave-offering came to 70 talents and 2400 shekels. |
| 30 With it he made the bases for the Screen at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Outer, copper Altar and its copper Grate, and all the Altar’s utensils, |
| 31 the bases for the pillars of the Courtyard all around and the bases for the Screen at the entrance to the Courtyard, all the stakes for the Tabernacle, and all the stakes for the Courtyard all around. |
