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.
