祭壇、院子和奉獻的物品

1比撒列用皂莢木造燒祭物的方形祭壇,長寬各二點三米,高一點三米, 2在壇的四角造四個角狀物,與壇連成一體,祭壇外面包上銅。 3他用銅造一切的器具,就是盆、鏟、碗、肉叉、火鼎。 4又造了一個銅網,銅網在祭壇圍邊的下方,向下伸展到祭壇的腰部, 5在銅網的四角鑄四個銅環,以便抬壇。 6他用皂莢木做橫杠,包上銅, 7把橫杠穿在壇邊的銅環裡,以便抬壇。壇是中空的,用木板製作。

8他用在會幕門口服侍的婦女們的銅鏡造銅盆和盆座。

9他用帷幔圍成院子,南面的帷幔用細麻線織成,長四十六米。 10帷幔有二十根柱子,二十個帶凹槽的銅底座,柱子上的鉤子和橫杆都是銀的。 11北面的帷幔也是長四十六米,柱子、銅底座、鉤子、橫杆的樣式與南面的一樣。 12西面的帷幔寬二十三米,有十根柱子和十個帶凹槽的底座,鉤子和橫杆都是銀的。 13東面的帷幔也是寬二十三米。 14-15入口兩邊的兩幅帷幔都是寬六點九米,各有三根柱子和三個帶凹槽的底座。 16院子四面的帷幔都用細麻線織成。 17柱子帶凹槽的底座是銅的,柱子上面的鉤和橫杆是銀的,柱頂包銀,院子所有的柱子都用銀杆相連。 18院子入口的門簾用藍色、紫色、朱紅色毛線和細麻線繡製,長九米、高二點三米,與院子帷幔的高度一樣。 19門簾有四根柱子和四個帶凹槽的銅底座,柱子上的鉤子和橫杆都是銀的,柱頂包銀。 20聖幕和院子四圍所有的橛子都是銅的。 21以上是安放約櫃的聖幕中所用的物品,是照摩西的吩咐,由亞倫祭司的兒子以他瑪指揮利未人清點的。

22猶大支派戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列做好了耶和華吩咐摩西預備的一切物品。 23他的助手是支派亞希撒抹的兒子亞何利亞伯,是雕刻家和設計師,並懂得用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線刺繡。

Exodus 38:1-31

The Altar for Burnt Offerings

1The workers built the altar for burnt offerings out of acacia wood. It was four feet six inches high and seven feet six inches square. 2They made a horn stick out from each of its four upper corners. They covered the altar with bronze. 3They made all its tools out of bronze. They made its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and pans for carrying ashes. 4They made a bronze grate for the altar. They put the grate halfway up the altar on the inside. 5They made a bronze ring for each of the four corners of the grate. 6They made poles out of acacia wood. They covered them with bronze. 7They put the poles through the rings. The poles were on two sides of the altar for carrying it. The workers made the altar out of boards. They left it hollow.

The Large Bowl for Washing

8The workers made the large bronze bowl and its bronze stand. They made them out of bronze mirrors. The mirrors belonged to the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

The Courtyard

9Next, the workers made the courtyard. The south side was 150 feet long. It had curtains made out of finely twisted linen. 10The curtains had 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The posts had silver hooks and bands on them. 11The north side was also 150 feet long. Its curtains had 20 posts and 20 bronze bases. The posts had silver hooks and bands on them.

12The west end was 75 feet wide. It had curtains with ten posts and ten bases. The posts had silver hooks and bands on them. 13The east end, toward the sunrise, was also 75 feet wide. 14Curtains 22 feet six inches long were on one side of the entrance to the courtyard. They were hung on three posts. Each post had a base. 15Curtains 22 feet six inches long were also on the other side of the entrance. They were hung on three posts. Each post had a base. 16All the curtains around the courtyard were made out of finely twisted linen. 17The bases for the posts were made out of bronze. The hooks and bands on the posts were made out of silver. Their tops were covered with silver. So all the posts of the courtyard had silver bands.

18The curtain for the courtyard entrance was made out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. A person who sewed skillfully made it. It was 30 feet long. Like the curtains of the courtyard, it was seven feet six inches high. 19It had four posts and four bronze bases. Their hooks and bands were made out of silver. Their tops were covered with silver. 20All the tent stakes of the holy tent were made out of bronze. So were all the stakes of the courtyard around it.

The Amounts of the Metals Used

21Here are the amounts of the metals used for the holy tent, where the tablets of the covenant law were kept. Moses commanded the Levites to record the amounts. The Levites did the work under the direction of Ithamar. Ithamar was the son of Aaron the priest. 22Bezalel, the son of Uri, made everything the Lord had commanded Moses. Uri was the son of Hur. Bezalel was from the tribe of Judah. 23Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak, helped Bezalel. Oholiab was from the tribe of Dan. He could carve things and make patterns. And he could sew skillfully with blue, purple and bright red yarn and on fine linen. 24The total weight of the gold from the wave offering was more than a ton. It was weighed out in keeping with the standard weights used in the sacred tent. The gold was used for all the work done in connection with the sacred tent.

25The silver received from the men in the community who were listed and counted weighed almost four tons. It was weighed out in keeping with the weights used in the sacred tent. 26It amounted to a fifth of an ounce for each person. It was weighed out in keeping with the weights used in the sacred tent. The silver was received from the men who had been listed and counted. All of them were 20 years old or more. Their total number was 603,550. 27The four tons of silver were used to make the bases for the holy tent and for the curtain. The 100 bases were made from the four tons. Each base used more than 75 pounds of silver. 28The workers used 45 pounds to make the hooks for the posts, to cover the tops of the posts, and to make their bands.

29The bronze from the wave offering weighed two and a half tons. 30The workers used some of it to make the bases for the entrance to the tent of meeting. They used some for the bronze altar for burnt offerings and its bronze grate and all its tools. 31They used some for the bases for the courtyard around the holy tent. They used some for the bases for the courtyard entrance. And they used the rest to make all the tent stakes for the holy tent and the courtyard around it.
