Ang Altar(A)

38 Akasya rin ang ginamit ni Bezalel sa paggawa ng altar na sunugan ng handog. Ito'y parisukat, 2.2 metro ang haba, ganoon din ang lapad, at 1.3 metro naman ang taas. Ang mga sulok nito'y nilagyan niya ng sungay na kaisang piraso ng altar, at binalot ng tanso. Si Bezalel din ang gumawa ng mga kagamitang tanso para sa altar: palayok, pala, palanggana, malaking tinidor at lalagyan ng apoy. Gumawa rin siya ng parilyang tanso at ikinabit sa ilalim ng baytang, sa kalahatian ng altar. Gumawa siya ng apat na argolya at ikinabit sa apat na sulok ng parilya, para pagsuutan ng pampasan. Akasya rin ang ginawa niyang pampasan. Binalot niya ito ng tanso at isinuot sa mga argolya sa gilid ng altar. Tabla ang ginamit niya sa paggawa ng altar at ito'y may guwang sa loob.

Ang Palangganang Tanso(B)

Gumawa(C) nga siya ng palangganang tanso, at tanso rin ang patungan. Ang ginamit niya rito ay tansong ginagamit bilang salamin ng mga babaing tumutulong sa mga naglilingkod sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan.

Ang Bulwagan ng Toldang Tipanan(D)

Pagkatapos, ginawa niya ang bulwagan na pinaligiran niya ng mamahaling telang lino. Sa gawing timog ay 45 metro ang haba ng tabing 10 at ito'y ikinabit niya sa dalawampung posteng tanso na itinayo sa dalawampung tuntungang tanso rin. Pilak naman ang mga kawit at ang sabitang baras na ginamit niya. 11 Gayundin ang ginawa niya sa gawing hilaga: 45 metro ang mga tabing na ikinabit sa dalawampung posteng tanso na itinayo sa dalawampung tuntungang tanso; pilak naman ang mga kawit at baras na ginamit dito. 12 Sa gawing kanluran naman, 22 metro ang haba ng tabing na isinabit niya sa sampung posteng nakatindig sa sampung tuntungan. Ang mga kawit at baras ay gawa sa pilak. 13 Ang luwang ng harapan ng bulwagan sa gawing silangan ay 22 metro. 14 Sa isang gilid ng pintuan ay nilagyan ng kurtinang 6.6 na metro ang haba, na nakasabit sa tatlong posteng nakapatong sa tatlong tuntungan. 15 Ganoon din sa kabilang gilid. Kaya ang dalawang gilid ng pintuan ay may tig-isang kurtinang 6.6 na metro ang haba, na nakasabit sa tatlong posteng nakapatong sa kanya-kanyang tuntungan. 16 Lahat ng tabing ng bulwagan ay mamahaling telang lino. 17 Tanso ang tuntungan ng mga poste at pilak naman ang mga kawit ng poste, gayundin ang mga haligi. 18 Ang kurtina sa may pintuan ay mamahaling lino at lanang kulay asul, kulay ube at kulay pula. Magandang-maganda ang burda nito. Ang haba't lapad nito'y 9 na metro, samantalang 2 metro naman ang taas, tulad ng tabing sa bulwagan. 19 Ito'y nakasabit sa apat na posteng nakapatong sa apat na tuntungang tanso. Ang mga kawit nito at balot ay pawang pilak. 20 Tanso naman ang mga tulos na ginamit sa Toldang Tipanan at sa tabing ng bulwagan.

Ang mga Metal na Ginamit sa Tabernakulo

21 Ito ang listahan ng mga metal na ginamit sa tabernakulo na pinaglagyan sa Kaban ng Tipan. Ang listahang ito'y ipinagawa ni Moises sa mga Levita sa pangunguna ni Itamar na anak ni Aaron.

22 Lahat ng iniutos ni Yahweh kay Moises ay ginawa ni Bezalel na anak ni Uri at apo ni Hur, buhat sa lipi ni Juda. 23 Ang pangunahin niyang katulong na si Aholiab ay anak ni Ahisamac at buhat naman sa lipi ni Dan. Siya ay mahusay mag-ukit, isang taga-disenyo at manghahabi ng pinong lino at lanang kulay asul, kulay ube at kulay pula.

24 Lahat ng gintong ginamit sa santuwaryo ay umabot sa 1,000 kilo ayon sa timbangan sa templo. Ang lahat ng ito'y handog kay Yahweh. 25 Ang(E) pilak namang ibinigay ng mga taong napabilang sa sensus ay umabot sa 3,430 kilo, ayon din sa timbangan sa templo. 26 Ang(F) mga ito ang kabuuan ng lahat ng inihandog ng mga napabilang sa sensus, na umabot naman sa 603,550 katao, mula sa dalawampung taon pataas. Bawat isa'y nagbigay ng kaukulang halaga ayon sa timbangan sa santuwaryo. 27 Ang pilak na nagamit sa mga tuntungan ng santuwaryo at tabing ng bulwagan ay 3,400 kilo: 100 tuntungan na tig-34 na kilo. 28 Ang 30 kilo ay ginamit sa mga kawit ng poste, sa mga dulo nito at sa mga haligi. 29 Ang tansong inihandog kay Yahweh ay umabot naman sa 2,425 kilo. 30 Ito ay ginamit sa mga tuntungan sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan, sa altar at sa parilyang tanso gayundin sa lahat ng gamit sa altar, 31 sa tuntungan sa paligid ng patyo, at tuntungan ng poste ng pinto, at sa lahat ng tulos na ginamit sa paligid ng tabernakulo.

The Altar of Burnt Offering(A)

38 They[a] built the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood, three cubits[b] high; it was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.[c] They made a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar were of one piece, and they overlaid the altar with bronze.(B) They made all its utensils(C) of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating. They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. They inserted the poles into the rings so they would be on the sides of the altar for carrying it. They made it hollow, out of boards.

The Basin for Washing

They made the bronze basin(D) and its bronze stand from the mirrors of the women(E) who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

The Courtyard(F)

Next they made the courtyard. The south side was a hundred cubits[d] long and had curtains of finely twisted linen, 10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 11 The north side was also a hundred cubits long and had twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

12 The west end was fifty cubits[e] wide and had curtains, with ten posts and ten bases, with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 13 The east end, toward the sunrise, was also fifty cubits wide. 14 Curtains fifteen cubits[f] long were on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, 15 and curtains fifteen cubits long were on the other side of the entrance to the courtyard, with three posts and three bases. 16 All the curtains around the courtyard were of finely twisted linen. 17 The bases for the posts were bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver; so all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

18 The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was made of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer. It was twenty cubits[g] long and, like the curtains of the courtyard, five cubits[h] high, 19 with four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were silver, and their tops were overlaid with silver. 20 All the tent pegs(G) of the tabernacle and of the surrounding courtyard were bronze.

The Materials Used

21 These are the amounts of the materials used for the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the covenant law,(H) which were recorded at Moses’ command by the Levites under the direction of Ithamar(I) son of Aaron, the priest. 22 (Bezalel(J) son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything the Lord commanded Moses; 23 with him was Oholiab(K) son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan—an engraver and designer, and an embroiderer in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen.) 24 The total amount of the gold from the wave offering used for all the work on the sanctuary(L) was 29 talents and 730 shekels,[i] according to the sanctuary shekel.(M)

25 The silver obtained from those of the community who were counted in the census(N) was 100 talents[j] and 1,775 shekels,[k] according to the sanctuary shekel— 26 one beka per person,(O) that is, half a shekel,[l] according to the sanctuary shekel,(P) from everyone who had crossed over to those counted, twenty years old or more,(Q) a total of 603,550 men.(R) 27 The 100 talents of silver were used to cast the bases(S) for the sanctuary and for the curtain—100 bases from the 100 talents, one talent for each base. 28 They used the 1,775 shekels to make the hooks for the posts, to overlay the tops of the posts, and to make their bands.

29 The bronze from the wave offering was 70 talents and 2,400 shekels.[m] 30 They used it to make the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting, the bronze altar with its bronze grating and all its utensils, 31 the bases for the surrounding courtyard and those for its entrance and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and those for the surrounding courtyard.
