O altar do holocausto
(Êx 27.1-8)
1O altar dos holocaustos, foi igualmente construído em madeira de acácia, quadrado, com 2,5 metros de lado e 1,5 metros de altura. 2Tinha quatro chifres em cada canto, tudo de uma só peça com o resto. Este altar foi revestido de bronze. 3Depois fez em bronze os utensílios a serem usados no serviço do altar: as caldeiras, as pás, as bacias, os garfos e os braseiros. 4Seguidamente, fez uma grelha de bronze que ficou apoiada numa cercadura, na parte inferior, a meia altura. 5Foram feitas ainda quatro argolas para cada lado da grelha, para nelas se porem as varas para o transporte. 6Estas varas eram feitas de madeira de acácia, revestidas de bronze. 7Pôs também duas varas nas argolas nos lados do altar, a fim de ser transportado. Este altar, feito de pranchas, era oco por dentro.

(Êx 30.18)
8A bacia de bronze e o seu pé, da mesma liga, foi feita com os espelhos das mulheres que se juntaram à entrada da tenda do encontro.
O pátio
(Êx 27.9-19)
9Em seguida, foi a vez do pátio. A parede do sul tinha 50 metros de comprimento e consistia em véus de linho fino retorcido. 10Havia vinte postes, para manter os véus, que assentavam em bases de bronze e tinham ganchos e hastes de prata. 11A parede no norte media, da mesma forma, 50 metros, com vinte colunas e bases de bronze, e também ganchos e hastes de prata. 12O lado ocidental ficou com 25 metros. Os véus foram suspensos em dez postes, com as suas bases, e com ganchos e hastes de prata. 13O lado oriental tinha igualmente 25 metros.
14-15Os véus de ambos os lados da entrada tinham 7,5 metros de comprimento com três postes e três bases. 16Todos os véus que formavam as paredes do pátio eram tecidos com linho fino retorcido. 17Cada poste tinha uma base de bronze e todos os ganchos e hastes foram feitos de prata maciça.
18Os véus da entrada do pátio foram feitos também em linho fino retorcido, artisticamente bordados em azul, púrpura e vermelho. Tinha essa entrada 10 metros de comprimento e 2,5 metros de altura, a largura do tecido, tal como a parede do pátio. 19Os véus desta porta eram sustentados por quatro colunas com quatro bases de bronze e com ganchos e hastes de prata. Os cimos dos postes eram de prata.
20Todas as estacas, tanto do tabernáculo como do pátio, eram de bronze.
Os materiais utilizados
21Esta é a enumeração do material empregado na construção do tabernáculo da aliança, registada por ordem de Moisés pelos levitas, sob direção de Itamar, filho de Aarão, o sacerdote. 22Bezalel, filho de Uri e neto de Hur, da tribo de Judá, executou tudo o que o Senhor tinha ordenado a Moisés; 23foi assistido por Aoliabe, filho de Aisamaque da tribo de Dan, que também era um hábil artífice e perito em trabalhos de gravação, de tecelagem e bordados em azul, púrpura e vermelho, e em tecidos de linho fino.
24Os donativos que o povo trouxe ascenderam a 1000 quilos de ouro; todo ele foi usado no tabernáculo.
25O montante da prata recolhida foi de mais de 3600 quilos, segundo o peso oficial do santuário, 26que vieram da taxa paga de 6 gramas de prata por todos os que estavam registados, segundo o censo do povo, de 20 anos para cima, num total de 603 550 homens. 27As bases para as tábuas das paredes do santuário e para os postes que sustentavam o véu requereram 3500 quilos de prata, ou seja, 34 quilos por cada base. 28O resto da prata foi usada nos postes e no revestimento dos seus cimos, assim como nos ganchos e hastes.
29O povo trouxe mais de 2500 quilos de bronze 30que foi usado na fundição das bases dos postes da entrada da tenda do encontro e na construção do altar de bronze, na sua grelha e seus utensílios, 31nas bases das colunas que suportam os véus da entrada do pátio e nas estacas usadas na montagem do tabernáculo e do pátio.
1And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. 2And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass. 3And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass. 4And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it. 5And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves. 6And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass. 7And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8¶ And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.38.8 lookingglasses: or, brasen glasses38.8 assembling: Heb. assembling by troops
9¶ And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits: 10Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 11And for the north side the hangings were an hundred cubits, their pillars were twenty, and their sockets of brass twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 12And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 13And for the east side eastward fifty cubits. 14The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 15And for the other side of the court gate, on this hand and that hand, were hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen. 17And the sockets for the pillars were of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver; and the overlaying of their chapiters of silver; and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver. 18And the hanging for the gate of the court was needlework, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: and twenty cubits was the length, and the height in the breadth was five cubits, answerable to the hangings of the court. 19And their pillars were four, and their sockets of brass four; their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their chapiters and their fillets of silver. 20And all the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.
21¶ This is the sum of the tabernacle, even of the tabernacle of testimony, as it was counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son to Aaron the priest. 22And Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses. 23And with him was Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a cunning workman, and an embroiderer in blue, and in purple, and in scarlet, and fine linen. 24All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, even the gold of the offering, was twenty and nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary. 25And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation was an hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary: 26A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for every one that went to be numbered, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred thousand and three thousand and five hundred and fifty men.38.26 every man: Heb. a poll 27And of the hundred talents of silver were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, and the sockets of the vail; an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, a talent for a socket. 28And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them. 29And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels. 30And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the brasen altar, and the brasen grate for it, and all the vessels of the altar, 31And the sockets of the court round about, and the sockets of the court gate, and all the pins of the tabernacle, and all the pins of the court round about.
