1 He made the altar of burnt offering also of acacia wood; five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth; it was square, and three cubits was its height.2 He made horns for it on its four corners; its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.3 And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans: all its utensils he made of bronze.4 And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down.5 He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles;6 he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze.7 And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with them; he made it hollow, with boards.8 And he made the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.9 And he made the court; for the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;10 their pillars were twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.11 And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were 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 were of silver.13 And for the front to the east, fifty cubits.14 The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases.15 And so for the other side; on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases.16 All the hangings round about the court were of fine twined linen.17 And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver; the overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.18 And the screen for the gate of the court was embroidered with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court.19 And their pillars were four; their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.20 And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court round about were of bronze.21 This is the sum of the things for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were counted at the commandment of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ith'amar the son of Aaron the priest.22 Bez'alel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses;23 and with him was Oho'liab the son of Ahis'amach, of the tribe of Dan, a craftsman and designer and embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen.24 All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred and thirty shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary.25 And the silver from those of the congregation who were numbered was a hundred talents and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary:26 a beka a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for every one who was numbered in the census, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men.27 The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary, and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent for a base.28 And of the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them.29 And the bronze that was contributed was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels;30 with it he made the bases for the door of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar,31 the bases round about the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs round about the court.

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.

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.

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.

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.
