1 They*38:1 Or He; also in verses 2-9 built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits*38:1 That is, about 4 1/2 feet or about 1.4 meters high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.*38:1 That is, about 7 1/2 feet or about 2.3 meters long and wide2 They made a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar were of one piece, and they overlaid the altar with bronze. 3 They made all its utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. 4 They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. 5 They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating. 6 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 They inserted the poles into the rings so they would be on the sides of the altar for carrying it. They made it hollow, out of boards.

8 They made the bronze basin and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

9 Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits*38:9 That is, about 150 feet or about 45 meters long and had curtains of finely twisted linen, 10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 11 The north side was also a hundred cubits long and had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

12 The west end was fifty cubits*38:12 That is, about 75 feet or about 23 meters wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 13 The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide. 14 Curtains fifteen cubits*38:14 That is, about 22 feet or about 6.8 meters long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, 15 and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases. 16 All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 17 The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver; so all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. It was twenty cubits*38:18 That is, about 30 feet or about 9 meters long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits*38:18 That is, about 7 1/2 feet or about 2.3 meters high, 19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. 20 All the tent pegs of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

21 These are the amounts of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the covenant law, which were recorded at Moses’ command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron, the priest. 22 (Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the Lord commanded Moses; 23 with him was Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan—an engraver and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.) 24 The total amount of the gold from the wave offering used for all the work on the sanctuary was 29 talents and 730 shekels,*38:24 The weight of the gold was a little over a ton or about 1 metric ton. according to the sanctuary shekel.

25 The silver obtained from those of the community who were counted in the census was 100 talents*38:25 That is, about 3 3/4 tons or about 3.4 metric tons; also in verse 27 and 1,775 shekels,*38:25 That is, about 44 pounds or about 20 kilograms; also in verse 28 according to the sanctuary shekel— 26 one beka per person, that is, half a shekel,*38:26 That is, about 1/5 ounce or about 5.7 grams according to the sanctuary shekel, from everyone who had crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more, a total of 603,550 men. 27 The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the bases for the sanctuary and for the curtain—100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent for each base. 28 They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make their bands.

29 The bronze from the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.*38:29 The weight of the bronze was about 2 1/2 tons or about 2.4 metric tons.30 They used it to make the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all its utensils, 31 the bases for the surrounding courtyard and those for its entrance and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and those for the surrounding courtyard.

1 Fez também o altar do holocausto de madeira de acácia; de cinco côvados era o seu comprimento, e de cinco côvados a sua largura, era quadrado; e de três côvados a sua altura. 2 E fez-lhe as suas pontas nos seus quatro cantos; da mesma peça eram as suas pontas; e cobriu-o de cobre. 3 Fez também todos os utensílios do altar; os cinzeiros, e as pás, e as bacias, e os garfos, e os braseiros; todos esses pertences fez de cobre. 4 Fez também, para o altar, um crivo de cobre, em forma de rede, na sua cercadura em baixo, até ao meio do altar. 5 E fundiu quatro argolas para as quatro extremidades do crivo de cobre, para os lugares dos varais. 6 E fez os varais de madeira de acácia, e os cobriu de cobre. 7 E pôs os varais pelas argolas aos lados do altar, para com eles levar o altar; fê-lo oco e de tábuas.

8 Fez também a pia de cobre com a sua base de cobre, dos espelhos das mulheres que se reuniam, para servir à porta da tenda da congregação.

9 Fez também o pátio do lado meridional; as cortinas do pátio eram de linho fino torcido, de cem côvados. 10 As suas vinte colunas e as suas vinte bases eram de cobre; os colchetes destas colunas e as suas molduras eram de prata; 11 E do lado norte cortinas de cem côvados; as suas vinte colunas e as suas vinte bases eram de cobre, os colchetes das colunas e as suas molduras eram de prata. 12 E do lado do ocidente cortinas de cinquenta côvados, as suas colunas dez, e as suas bases dez; os colchetes das colunas e as suas molduras eram de prata. 13 E do lado leste, ao oriente, cortinas de cinquenta côvados. 14 As cortinas de um lado da porta eram de quinze côvados; as suas colunas três e as suas bases três. 15 E do outro lado da porta do pátio, de ambos os lados, eram cortinas de quinze côvados; as suas colunas três e as suas bases três. 16 Todas as cortinas do pátio ao redor eram de linho fino torcido. 17 E as bases das colunas eram de cobre; os colchetes das colunas e as suas molduras eram de prata; e o revestimento dos seus capitéis era de prata; e todas as colunas do pátio eram cingidas de prata. 18 E a cobertura da porta do pátio era de obra de bordador, de azul, e de púrpura, e de carmesim, e de linho fino torcido; e o comprimento era de vinte côvados, e a altura, na largura, de cinco côvados, conforme as cortinas do pátio. 19 E as suas quatro colunas e as suas quatro bases eram de cobre, os seus colchetes de prata, e o revestimento dos seus capitéis, e as suas molduras, também de prata. 20 E todas as estacas do tabernáculo e do pátio ao redor eram de cobre.

21 Esta é a enumeração das coisas usadas no tabernáculo, o tabernáculo do testemunho, que por ordem de Moisés foram contadas para o ministério dos levitas, por intermédio de Itamar, filho de Arão, o sacerdote. 22 Fez, pois, Bezalel, o filho de Uri, filho de Hur, da tribo de Judá, tudo quanto o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés. 23 E com ele Aoliabe, filho de Aisamaque, da tribo de Dã, um mestre de obra, e engenhoso artífice, e bordador em azul, e em púrpura e em carmesim e em linho fino.

24 Todo o ouro gasto na obra, em toda a obra do santuário, a saber, o ouro da oferta, foi vinte e nove talentos e setecentos e trinta siclos, conforme ao siclo do santuário; 25 E a prata dos arrolados da congregação foi cem talentos e mil e setecentos e setenta e cinco siclos, conforme o siclo do santuário; 26 Um beca por cabeça, isto é, meio siclo, conforme o siclo do santuário; de todo aquele que passava aos arrolados, da idade de vinte anos para cima, que foram seiscentos e três mil e quinhentos e cinquenta. 27 E houve cem talentos de prata para fundir as bases do santuário e as bases do véu; para as cem bases cem talentos; um talento para cada base. 28 E dos mil e setecentos e setenta e cinco siclos fez os colchetes das colunas, e cobriu os seus capitéis, e os cingiu de molduras. 29 E o cobre da oferta foi setenta talentos e dois mil e quatrocentos siclos. 30 E dele fez as bases da porta da tenda da congregação e o altar de cobre, e o crivo de cobre e todos os utensílios do altar. 31 E as bases do pátio ao redor, e as bases da porta do pátio, e todas as estacas do tabernáculo e todas as estacas do pátio ao redor.
