Making the Altar for Burning Offerings
(Exodus 27.1-8)1 For burning offerings, he made an altar out of acacia wood. It was square, 7½ feet long and 7½ feet wide, and it was 4½ feet high. 2 He made the projections at the top of the four corners, so that they formed one piece with the altar. He covered it all with bronze. 3 He also made all the equipment for the altar: the pans, the shovels, the bowls, the hooks, and the fire pans. All this equipment was made of bronze. 4 He made a bronze grating and put it under the rim of the altar, so that it reached halfway up the altar. 5 He made four carrying rings and put them on the four corners. 6 He made carrying poles of acacia wood, covered them with bronze, 7 and put them in the rings on each side of the altar. The altar was made of boards and was hollow.
Making the Bronze Basin
(Exodus 30.18)8 He made the bronze basin and its bronze base out of the mirrors belonging to the women who served at the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence.
The Enclosure for the Tent of the Lord's Presence
(Exodus 27.9-19)9 For the Tent of the Lord's presence he made the enclosure out of fine linen curtains. On the south side the curtains were 50 yards long, 10 supported by twenty bronze posts in twenty bronze bases, with hooks and rods made of silver. 11 The enclosure was the same on the north side. 12 On the west side there were curtains 25 yards long, with ten posts and ten bases and with hooks and rods made of silver. 13 On the east side, where the entrance was, the enclosure was also 25 yards wide. 14-15 On each side of the entrance there were 7½ yards of curtains, with three posts and three bases. 16 All the curtains around the enclosure were made of fine linen. 17 The bases for the posts were made of bronze, and the hooks, the rods, and the covering of the tops of the posts were made of silver. All the posts around the enclosure were connected with silver rods. 18 The curtain for the entrance of the enclosure was made of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool and decorated with embroidery. It was 10 yards long and 2½ yards high, like the curtains of the enclosure. 19 It was supported by four posts in four bronze bases. Their hooks, the covering of their tops, and their rods were made of silver. 20 All the pegs for the Tent and for the surrounding enclosure were made of bronze.
Metals Used in the Tent of the Lord's Presence
21 Here is a list of the amounts of the metals used in the Tent of the Lord's presence, where the two stone tablets were kept on which the Ten Commandments were written. The list was ordered by Moses and made by the Levites who worked under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
22 Bezalel, the son of Uri and grandson of Hur from the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had commanded. 23 His helper, Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, was an engraver, a designer, and a weaver of fine linen and of blue, purple, and red wool.
24 All the gold that had been dedicated to the Lord for the sacred Tent weighed 2,195 pounds, weighed according to the official standard. 25 The silver from the census of the community weighed 7,550 pounds, weighed according to the official standard. 26 This amount equaled the total paid by all persons enrolled in the census, each one paying the required amount, weighed according to the official standard. There were 603,550 men twenty years old or older enrolled in the census. 27 Of the silver, 7,500 pounds were used to make the hundred bases for the sacred Tent and for the curtain, 75 pounds for each base. 28 With the remaining 50 pounds of silver Bezalel made the rods, the hooks for the posts, and the covering for their tops. 29 The bronze which was dedicated to the Lord amounted to 5,310 pounds. 30 With it he made the bases for the entrance of the Tent of the Lord's presence, the bronze altar with its bronze grating, all the equipment for the altar, 31 the bases for the surrounding enclosure and for the entrance of the enclosure, and all the pegs for the Tent and the surrounding enclosure.
1 Viņš arī darināja dedzināmo upuru altāri no akāciju koka; piecas olektis bija tā garums un piecas olektis tā platums, tas bija četrstūris, un trīs olektis bija tā augstums. 2 Četros stūros viņš tam piestiprināja ragus un tos pārvilka ar varu. 3 Un viņš uztaisīja visus altāra rīkus: podus, lāpstas, kausus slacināšanai, dakšas gaļai un ogļu traukus; visus rīkus viņš uztaisīja no vara. 4 Un viņš uztaisīja arī altārim režģi no vara, zem tā apmales, no apakšas līdz tā vidum. 5 Un viņš izlēja četrus gredzenus no vara tā četriem stūriem, lai tiem cauri izbāztu nesamās kārtis. 6 Un viņš darināja nesamās kārtis no akāciju koka un tās pārvilka ar varu. 7 Un viņš tās nesamās kārtis izbāza cauri četriem gredzeniem, kas bija pie altāra sāniem, ka ar tām to nestu; viņš to izgatavoja no dēļiem un vidū tukšu. 8 Un viņš arī darināja no vara mazgājamo trauku ar vara kāju no to sievu spoguļiem, kas kalpoja pie Saiešanas telts ieejas. 9 Viņš izveidoja arī pagalmu; dienvidus pusē aizkars bija no šķetinātu smalku dziju auduma simts olekšu garumā. 10 Un tā divdesmit stabus un arī divdesmit stabu kājas tas taisīja no vara, bet to kāši un gredzeni bija no sudraba. 11 Arī ziemeļu pusē aizkars bija simts olekšu garumā, un divdesmit stabi un to divdesmit kājas bija no vara, un stabu kāši un gredzeni bija no sudraba. 12 Bet rietumu pusē aizkars bija piecdesmit olekšu garumā, stabu bija desmit un to kājas desmit, un stabu kāši un gredzeni bija no sudraba. 13 Austrumu pusei tas bija piecdesmit olekšu garš. 14 Aizkars vienā malā bija piecpadsmit olekšu garš, ar trim stabiem un trim kājām, 15 un arī otrā malā tas bija piecpadsmit olekšu garš, kā vienā, tā otrā pusē vārtiem, ar trim stabiem un trim kājām. 16 Un visi pagalma aizkari visapkārt bija no šķetinātu smalku dziju auduma. 17 Stabu kājas bija no vara, viņu kāši un rotājumi bija no sudraba; arī to augšgalu rotājumi bija sudraba, visi pagalma stabi bija ar sudrabu izrotāti. 18 Un pagalma vārtu aizkars bija rakstaini izausts no zila un sarkana purpura un no karmezīnā krāsotām un šķetinātām smalkām dzijām, un divdesmit olektis bija tā garums un piecas olektis platums, atbilstoši pagalma aizkaram. 19 Un tā četri stabi ar to četrām kājām bija darināti no vara, bet kāši un stabu gredzeni bija sudraba. 20 Visi Saiešanas telts un pagalma mietiņi bija no vara. 21 Šīs ir mājokļa, tas ir, Liecības telts, uzskaitītās lietas, kuras uzskaitīja pēc Mozus pavēles levītu kalpošanai priestera Itamāra, Ārona dēla, vadībā. 22 Becaleēls, Hūra dēla Ūrija dēls, no Jūdas cilts, taisīja visu, ko Tas Kungs Mozum bija pavēlējis, 23 kopā ar Oholiābu, Ahisāmaka dēlu, no Dana cilts, kas bija lietpratējs aušanā un izšūšanā no zila un sarkana purpura smalkām dzijām. 24 Viss zelts, kas svētnīcas celšanai tika izlietots visiem darbiem, ko sanes kā upuru dāvanu, bija divdesmit deviņi talenti un septiņi simti trīsdesmit seķeļi pēc svētnīcas seķeļu svara. 25 Un viss sudrabs, ko ieguva, saskaitot visu draudzi, bija simts talentu un tūkstoš septiņi simti septiņdesmit pieci seķeļi pēc svētnīcas seķeļu svara, 26 pusseķelis pēc svētnīcas seķeļu svara no ikviena, kas tika skaitīts, kam bija divdesmit gadu un vairāk, - kopā bija seši simti trīs tūkstoši pieci simti piecdesmit vīru. 27 No simts talentiem sudraba izlēja svētajai vietai un aizkaram vajadzīgās kājas; simts kājām vajadzēja simts talentu, vienu talentu katrai kājai. 28 Bet no tūkstoš septiņi simti septiņdesmit pieciem seķeļiem viņš izgatavoja stabu kāšus un to vainagus un rotājumus. 29 Un upuru dāvanās savāktā vara bija septiņdesmit talentu un divi tūkstoši četri simti seķeļu. 30 No tā viņš uztaisīja kājas Saiešanas telts durvīm, vara altāri un pie tā vara režģi un visus altāra rīkus, 31 arī pagalma kājas visapkārt un pagalma vārtu kājas, visus mājokļa mietiņus un pagalma mietiņus.
