1 Com madeira de acácia faz também um altar de 2,5 metros de lado e 1,5 de altura.
2 Porás chifres nos quatro cantos do altar, o quais ficarão muito bem fixados, de forma a fazerem um só corpo com o altar. Revestirás tudo de bronze. E todos os seus utensílios serão da mesma forma em bronze: os recipientes para recolher as cinzas, as pás, as bacias, os garfos e os ganchos.
4 O altar terá também uma grelha, com argolas nos cantos; e ficará pendurado a meia altura da caixa interior do altar.
6 Para poder deslocar este altar faz-lhe varas de madeira de acácia, revestida de bronze, que passem por argolas de cada lado do altar. Este deve ser oco, e feito de pranchas, tal como te foi mostrado no monte.
9 Seguidamente farás um pátio para o tabernáculo, cercado por cortinas de linho fino retorcido. Ao sul, as cortinas medirão 50 metros, e ficarão suspensas por 20 postes, os quais estarão assentes em 20 bases de bronze. As cortinas estarão penduradas em ganchos de prata os quais estarão presos a pequenas hastes de prata ligadas aos postes. Será o mesmo quanto ao lado norte do pátio: 50 metros de cortinas, seguras por vinte postes assentes em bases de cobre, com ganchos e hastes de prata. O lado ocidental terá 25 metros de largo com dez postes e dez bases. O lado oriental terá igualmente 25 metros, mas da seguinte maneira: 7 metros e meio de cortinas de cada lado da entrada, suspensas por três postes, embutidos em três bases.
16 A entrada do pátio terá uma cortina de 10 metros de largo, com artísticos bordados com linho fino retorcido, a azul, púrpura e vermelho.
17 Todos os postes à volta do pátio deverão estar ligados entre si com varas de prata. Os ganchos serão de prata, e todos os postes embutidos em sólidas bases de prata.
18 Assim o pátio terá 50 metros de comprimento, por 25 de largura, com paredes de cortinas de 2,5 metros de altura, feitas com linho fino retorcido.
19 Todos os utensílios utilizados no serviço do tabernáculo, incluindo os pregos e as cavilhas para pendurar na parede os diferentes objectos, serão feitos de bronze.
20 Dá instruções ao povo para que te traga azeite puro para ser usado nas lâmpadas do tabernáculo, para que estejam ardendo continuamente.
21 Arão e os seus filhos colocarão esta chama eterna no lado de fora do véu, no lugar santo, e ocupar-se-ão dela de forma a que brilhe noite e dia diante do Senhor, sem nunca se apagar. Isto é uma lei que nunca será alterada em todas as gerações dos filhos de Israel.
1 And you will make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar will be foursquare: and its height will be three cubits.
2 And you will make its horns on the four corners of it; its horns will be of one piece with it: and you will overlay it with bronze.
3 And you will make its pots to take away its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its flesh-hooks, and its firepans. As for all its vessels, you will make them of bronze.
4 And you will make for it a grating of network of bronze: and on the net you will make four bronze rings in the four corners of it.
5 And you will put it under the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar.
6 And you will make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.
7 And its poles will be put into the rings, and the poles will be on the two sides of the altar, in bearing it.
8 Hollow with planks you will make it: as it has been shown to you in the mount, so they will make it.
9 And you will make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there will be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side:
10 and its pillars will be twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [will be] of silver.
11 And likewise for the north side in length there will be hangings a hundred cubits long, and its pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.
12 And for the width of the court on the west side will be hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
13 And the width of the court on the east side eastward will be fifty cubits.
14 The hangings for the one side [of the gate] will be fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And for the other side will be hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 And for the gate of the court will be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer; their pillars four, and their sockets four.
17 All the pillars of the court round about will be filleted with silver; their hooks of silver, and their sockets of bronze.
18 The length of the court will be a hundred cubits, and the width fifty at both ends, and the height five cubits, of fine twined linen, and their sockets of bronze.
19 As for all the instruments of the tabernacle in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, they will be of bronze.
20 And you will command the sons of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
21 In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons will keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh: it will be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the sons of Israel.
