38 ¶ Bezaleyèl fè lòtèl pou boule ofrann yo an bwa zakasya. Li fè l' kare kare: Li te mezire sèt pye sis pous longè, sèt pye sis pous lajè, kat pye sis pous wotè.

Li travay kat kòn sou kat kwen lòtèl la. Kòn yo te fè yon sèl pyès ak lòtèl la. Apre sa, li kouvri tout ak kwiv.

Li fè tout bagay ki pou mache ak lòtèl la: recho, pèl, fouchèt, plato pou resevwa sann, kivèt. Li fè tout bagay sa yo an kwiv.

Li fè yon griyaj an kwiv pou lòtèl la, tankou griy pou griye vyann. Li mete griyaj la anba rebò lòtèl la, li fè l' soti anba rive mwatye wotè lòtèl la.

Li fè kat gwo bag tou won an kwiv, li mete yo nan kat pwent griyaj la. Se nan bag sa yo pou yo pase poto ki sèvi manch pou pote lòtèl la.

Apre sa, li fè manch an bwa zakasya, li kouvri yo an kwiv nèt.

Li pase manch yo nan bag won yo sou chak bò lòtèl la, pou yo ka pote lòtèl la. Li fè lòtèl la an planch. Tout anndan lòtèl la te rete vid.

Bezaleyel pran moso kwiv poli ki te sèvi glas pou medam k'ap sèvi nan pòt antre Tant Randevou a, li fè yon gwo basen an kwiv avèk yon pye an kwiv tou pou mete l' chita.

¶ Li fè galeri a. Sou bò sid la, li moute yon seri rido fèt ak lèz twal fen blan tise byen sere, sou senkant mèt longè.

10 Ven ankadreman yo ak ven sipò yo te fèt an kwiv. Kwòk poto yo ak trenng yo te an ajan.

11 Menm jan an tou, sou bò nò a, li moute yon seri rido ki gen senkant mèt longè avèk ven poto sou ven sipò an kwiv. Kwòk poto yo ak trenng yo te an ajan.

12 Sou bò lwès la, li moute yon seri rido fèt ak lèz twal ki mezire ven mèt longè, avèk dis poto chita sou dis sipò avèk kwòk poto yo ak trenng yo an ajan.

13 Sou bò lès la, galeri a te gen swasannkenz pye lajè.

14 Sou bò gòch espas kote yo antre a, li moute rido sou yon longè vennde pye sis pous avèk twa poto chita sou twa sipò.

15 Sou bò dwat la, li moute rido sou yon longè vennde pye sis pous avèk twa poto chita sou twa sipò. Se konsa sa te fèt chak bò pòt kote yo antre a.

16 Tout rido yo te fèt ak twal fen blan tise byen sere.

17 Sipò poto yo te fèt an kwiv. Kwòk poto yo ak trenng yo, te fèt an ajan. Tèt poto yo te kouvri an ajan. Tout poto galeri a te mare yonn ak lòt ak trenng an ajan.

18 Rido ki te fèmen kote yo antre nan tant lan te bwode byen bèl sou tout kò l'. Li te fèt ak bon twal siperyè koulè ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen blan tise byen sere. Li te gen dis mèt longè, de mèt edmi wotè, tankou rido galeri a.

19 Kat poto kwen, chita sou kat sipò an kwiv tou, t'ap soutni rido pòt la. Kwòk yo ak trenng yo te fèt an ajan. Tèt poto yo te kouvri an ajan.

20 Li fè tout pikèt pou tant lan ak pou galeri a an kwiv.

21 ¶ Men kantite metal yo te sèvi pou fè tant kote yo mete Bwat Kontra a. Dapre lòd Moyiz te bay, se pitit Levi yo ki te fè lis metal yo, epi se Itama, pitit Arawon, prèt la, ki t'ap dirije yo nan travay sa a.

22 Bezaleyèl, pitit Ouri, pitit pitit Our, nan branch fanmi Jida a, te fè tou sa Seyè a te bay Moyiz lòd fè a.

23 Se Owoliyab, pitit Ayisamak, nan branch fanmi Dann lan, ki te ede l'. Owoliyab sa a te yon bon bòs atizan ki te konn fè desen. Li te konn bwode lenn ble, violèt ak wouj ansanm ak twal fen blan.

24 Tout lò yo te sèvi pou fè travay nan kote ki apa pou Bondye a, se te lò moun yo te ofri bay Bondye. Lò a te peze demil nèfsantrant (2930) liv, dapre mezi yo sèvi nan kote ki apa pou Seyè a.

25 Ajan yo te ranmase pou resansman an te peze dimil swasanndis (10.070) liv, dapre mezi yo sèvi kote ki apa pou Seyè a.

26 Sa se kantite ajan yo ranmase antou nan men moun ki te vin bay non yo lè resansman an. Chak moun te bay kantite yo te mande yo, ki vle di yon pyès ajan ki peze yon ons, dapre mezi yo sèvi kote yo mete apa pou Seyè a. Te gen sisantwamil senksansenkant (603.550) gason ki te gen ventan pou pi piti, ki te enskri nan resansman an.

27 Nan dimil swasanndis (10.070) liv ajan yo, dimil (10.000) liv te sèvi pou fè sipò pou tant lan ansanm ak sipò pou rido yo. Chak sipò te pran san liv.

28 Avèk swasanndis liv ajan ki te rete a, yo fè kwòk ak trenng pou poto yo, epi yo kouvri tèt poto yo.

29 Yo te ofri bay Seyè a sètmil katrevendis (7.090) liv kwiv antou.

30 Yo sèvi ak kwiv la pou fè sipò ki nan pòt antre tanp lan, lòtèl la ak griyaj kwiv la ansanm ak tout bagay y'ap bezwen pou sèvi ak lòtèl la.

31 Yo fè sipò pou galeri toutotou a, sipò pou pòt kote ki apa pou Seyè a, ansanm ak tout pikèt pou tant lan ak pou galeri a.

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.
