The Altar for Offering Sacrifices
(Exodus 38.1-7)The Lord said to Moses:
1 Use acacia wood to build an altar 2.25 meters square and 1.34 meters high, 2 and make each of the four top corners stick up like the horn of a bull. Then cover the whole altar with bronze, including the four horns. 3 All the equipment for the altar must also be made of bronze—the pans for the hot ashes, the shovels, the sprinkling bowls, the meat forks, and the fire pans. 4-5 Halfway up the altar build a ledge around it, and cover the bottom half of the altar with a decorative bronze grating. Then attach a bronze ring beneath the ledge at the four corners of the altar. 6-7 Cover two acacia wood poles with bronze and put them through the rings for carrying the altar. 8 Construct the altar in the shape of an open box, just as you were shown on the mountain.
The Courtyard around the Sacred Tent
(Exodus 38.9-20)The Lord said:
9-15 Surround the sacred tent with a courtyard 44 meters long on the south and north and 22 meters wide on the east and west. Use 20 bronze posts on bronze stands for the south and north and 10 for the west. Then hang a curtain of fine linen on the posts along each of these three sides by using silver hooks and rods.
Place three bronze posts on each side of the entrance at the east and hang a curtain 6.67 meters wide on each set of posts. 16 Use four more of these posts for the entrance way, then hang on them an embroidered curtain of fine linen nine meters long and woven with blue, purple, and red wool.
17-18 Make the curtains that surround the courtyard 2.25 meters high and hang them from the bronze posts with silver hooks and rods. 19 Make the rest of the equipment for the sacred tent of bronze, including the pegs for the tent and for the curtain surrounding the courtyard.
The Oil for the Lamp in the Holy Place
(Leviticus 24.1-4)The Lord said to Moses:
20 Command the people of Israel to supply you with the purest olive oil. Do this so the lamp will keep burning 21 in front of the curtain that separates the holy place from the most holy place, where the sacred chest is kept. Aaron and his sons are responsible for keeping the lamp burning every night in the sacred tent. The Israelites must always obey this command.
Sadedzināmo upuru altāris
(2Moz 38:1–7)1 Un darini akācijkoka altāri – piecus elkoņus garu un piecus elkoņus platu, lai altāris ir četrstūrains un tā augstums ir trīs elkoņi. 2 Darini tam visos četros stūros ragus – ragi lai ir no viena gabala ar to – un pārklāj to ar varu. 3 Darini tam podus, kur savākt pelnus, liekšķeres, bļodas, dakšas un ogļu pannas – visus rīkus taisi no vara. 4 Un darini tam režģi, pītu vara darinājumu, un pinumam visos četros stūros darini četrus vara riņķus. 5 Noliec to apakšā zem altāra malas tā, lai pinums sniedzas līdz pusaltārim. 6 Un darini altārim nesamās kārtis, akācijkoka nesamās kārtis, un pārklāj tās ar varu. 7 Nesamās kārtis lai iever riņķos tā, ka nesamās kārtis iet gar abām altāra malām un to var nest. 8 Darini to no dēļiem, tukšu vidu – kā tev tika parādīts kalnā, tā tu taisi!
Pagalms
(2Moz 38:9–20)9 Mājokļa pagalmu darini dienvidu pusē, pagalmam – vieglbalta lina priekškaru, simts elkoņu garu vienā malā. 10 Un tam – divdesmit stabus, un tiem – divdesmit vara pamatus un stabu āķus, un sudraba savienojumus. 11 Un tāpat darini ziemeļu pusē visā tā garumā – simts elkoņu garu priekškaru un divdesmit stabus ar divdesmit vara pamatiem, un stabu āķus, un sudraba savienojumus. 12 Pagalma platumā uz rietumu pusi – piecdesmit elkoņu garu priekškaru un tam desmit stabus ar desmit pamatiem. 13 Pagalma platums pret austrumiem, pret saules lēktu, lai ir piecdesmit elkoņi. 14 Un darini piecpadsmit elkoņu garu priekškaru vārtu sānmalai un tam trīs stabus ar trīs pamatiem. 15 Arī otrā vārtu sānmalā – piecpadsmit elkoņu garu priekškaru un tam trīs stabus ar trīs pamatiem. 16 Un pagalma vārtiem – divdesmit elkoņu platu priekškaru no purpurzila, purpura, sarkana auduma un vieglbalta izšūdināta lina, kā arī četrus stabus un četrus to pamatus. 17 Visi pagalma stabi lai tiek sastiprināti ar sudrabu, to āķi lai ir no sudraba un to pamati – no vara. 18 Pagalma garums lai ir simts elkoņu, platums – piecdesmit un augstums – pieci elkoņi, no vieglbalta lina un pamati no vara. 19 Visi Mājokļa rīki jebkādam lietojumam, visi mietiņi un pagalma mietiņi lai ir no vara.
Eļļa gaismeklim
(3Moz 24:1–4)20 Un pavēli Israēla dēliem, lai tie tev dod tīrspiestu olīveļļu gaismeklim – iededz pastāvīgu gaismekli! 21 Lai Ārons un viņa dēli to novieto Saiešanas teltī, ārpus priekškara, kas pār liecību, – lai tas ir Kunga priekšā no vakara līdz rītam. Tas Israēla dēliem ir mūžīgs likums uz viņu paaudzēm!
