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.

1 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square. Its length was five cubits, its width was five cubits, and its height was three cubits. 2 He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 He made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its vessels of bronze. 4 He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. 5 He cast four rings for the four corners of bronze grating, to be places for the poles. 6 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. 7 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

8 He made the basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, out of the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

9 He made the court: for the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, one hundred cubits; 10 their pillars were twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 11 For the north side one hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. 12 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 For the east side eastward fifty cubits, 14 the hangings for the one side 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 around the court were of fine twined linen. 17 The sockets for the pillars were of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. Their capitals were overlaid with silver. All the pillars of the court had silver bands. 18 The screen for the gate of the court was the work of the embroiderer, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. Twenty cubits was the length, and the height along the width was five cubits, like the hangings of the court. 19 Their pillars were four, and their sockets four, of bronze; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals, and their fillets, of silver. 20 All the pins of the tabernacle, and around the court, were of bronze.

21 These are the amounts of materials used 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 Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that Yahweh commanded Moses. 23 With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, 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-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 The silver of those who were counted of the congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were counted, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men. 27 The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil: one hundred sockets for the one hundred talents, one talent per socket. 28 From the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, overlaid their capitals, and made fillets for them. 29 The bronze of the offering was seventy talents and two thousand four hundred shekels. 30 With this he made the sockets to the door of the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar, the bronze grating for it, all the vessels of the altar, 31 the sockets around the court, the sockets of the gate of the court, all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins around the court.
