21. and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments.
22. All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewellery of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments. They all presented their gold as a wave offering to the Lord.

24. and made forty silver bases to go under them – two bases for each frame, one under each projection.
25. For the other side, the north side of the tabernacle, they made twenty frames
26. and forty silver bases – two under each frame.
27. They made six frames for the far end, that is, the west end of the tabernacle,
