25 The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 a (A)beka[a] a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone who was listed in the records, from twenty years old and upward, for (B)603,550 men. 27 The hundred talents of silver were for casting the (C)bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent a base. 28 And of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them. 29 The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels; 30 with it he made the (D)bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, (E)the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar, 31 the (F)bases around the court, and the (G)bases of the gate of the court, all the (H)pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.
