1 And he made the altar of burnt-offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof, foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. 2 And he made the horns thereof upon the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with brass. 3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh-hooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass. 4 And he made for the altar a grating of network of brass, under the ledge round it beneath, reaching halfway up. 5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grating of brass, to be places for the staves. 6 And he made the staves of acacia wood, and overlaid them with brass. 7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, wherewith to bear it; he made it hollow with planks.

8 And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the ministering women that ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.

9 And he made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; 10 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 11 And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. 12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. 13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three; 15 and so for the other side: on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen. 17 And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver; and the overlaying of their capitals, of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 18 And the screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court. 19 And their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of brass; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver. 20 And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.

21 This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle, even the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest. 22 And Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Jehovah commanded Moses. 23 And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skilful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in fine linen.

24 All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that passed over to them that were numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men. 27 And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the veil; a hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. 28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them. 29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 30 And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tent of meeting, and the brazen altar, and the brazen grating for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 31 and the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the gate of the court, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.

O altar para os sacrifícios queimados

1 Para os sacrifícios que eram completamente queimados, Bezalel fez um altar de madeira de acácia. O tampo do altar era quadrado, medindo dois metros e vinte de comprimento por dois metros e vinte de largura; e o altar media um metro e trinta de altura. 2 Bezalel fez quatro pontas para os quatro cantos do altar. Essas quatro pontas formavam uma só peça com o altar. E ele o revestiu todo de bronze. 3 Fez também todas as peças para serem usadas no altar, isto é, as vasilhas, as pás, as bacias, os garfos e os braseiros. Todas essas peças foram feitas de bronze. 4 Ele fez uma grelha de bronze em forma de rede e a colocou debaixo da beirada do altar, de modo que a grelha chegava até a metade da altura do altar. 5 Fez quatro argolas para os quatro cantos da grelha, para enfiar nelas os cabos. 6 Os cabos foram feitos de madeira de acácia e revestidos de bronze. 7 Depois Bezalel enfiou os cabos nas argolas nos dois lados do altar. O altar foi feito de madeira e era oco.

A pia de bronze

8 Com os espelhos de bronze das mulheres que faziam serviços na entrada da Tenda da Presença de Deus, Bezalel fez a pia e a sua base.

O pátio da Tenda da Presença de Deus

9 Para a Tenda da Presença de Deus, Bezalel fez um pátio cercado de cortinas de linho fino. No lado sul as cortinas tinham quarenta e quatro metros de comprimento. 10 Elas eram sustentadas por vinte postes de bronze com bases também de bronze. Os ganchos dos postes e os suportes das cortinas eram de prata. 11 Bezalel fez a mesma coisa no lado norte do pátio. 12,13 O pátio tinha vinte e dois metros de largura; portanto, nos lados oeste e leste as cortinas tinham vinte e dois metros de comprimento. Para sustentarem as cortinas, havia dez postes e dez bases; os ganchos e os suportes eram de prata. A entrada do pátio ficava no lado leste. 14,15 De cada lado da entrada havia cortinas de seis metros e sessenta de comprimento, com três postes e três bases para sustentarem as cortinas. 16 Todas as cortinas que ficavam em volta do pátio eram de linho fino. 17 As bases das colunas eram de bronze, e os ganchos, os suportes e a parte de cima dos postes eram de prata. E todos os postes em volta do pátio eram unidos por suportes de prata. 18 A cortina da entrada do pátio era de tecido feito de linho fino e de fios de lã azul, púrpura e vermelha, enfeitada com bordados. O comprimento dessa cortina era de oito metros e oitenta, e a altura, de dois metros e vinte, como as cortinas do pátio. 19 Ela era sustentada por quatro postes com bases de bronze. Os ganchos, a parte de cima dos postes e os suportes eram de prata. 20 Todas as estacas da Tenda e do pátio eram de bronze.

Os metais usados na Tenda da Presença de Deus

21 A seguir vem a lista da quantidade dos metais usados na Tenda da Presença de Deus, onde estavam guardadas as duas placas de pedra, com os dez mandamentos. Moisés mandou fazer a lista, e ela foi preparada pelos levitas dirigidos por Itamar, filho do sacerdote Arão.

22 Bezalel, filho de Uri e neto de Hur, da tribo de Judá, fez tudo o que o Senhor havia ordenado a Moisés. 23 O seu ajudante foi Aoliabe, filho de Aisamaque, da tribo de Dã. Aoliabe era gravador, desenhista e tecia linho fino e fios de lã azul, púrpura e vermelha.

24 Todo o ouro que havia sido oferecido ao Senhor para a Tenda Sagrada pesava mil quilos, de acordo com a tabela oficial. 25 A prata da contagem do povo pesava três mil quatrocentos e trinta quilos, de acordo com a tabela oficial. 26 Essa quantia foi igual ao total pago por todos os homens alistados na contagem do povo; e cada homem pagava a importância exigida , pesada de acordo com a tabela oficial. Foram alistados na contagem seiscentos e três mil quinhentos e cinquenta homens de vinte anos para cima. 27 Foram usados três mil e quatrocentos quilos de prata para fazer as cem bases da Tenda Sagrada e da cortina, isto é, trinta e quatro quilos para cada base. 28 Com os trinta quilos de prata que sobraram, Bezalel fez os cabos, os ganchos para os postes e a parte de cima dos postes. 29 O bronze que foi oferecido a Deus dava um total de dois mil quatrocentos e vinte e cinco quilos. 30 Com isso Bezalel fez as bases para a entrada da Tenda da Presença de Deus; o altar de bronze com a sua grelha, também de bronze; todos os objetos para o altar, 31 para as bases que ficavam em volta do pátio e para a entrada do pátio; e todas as estacas para a Tenda e para o pátio que ficava em volta da Tenda.
