Exodus 38
Common English Bible

Making the altar for entirely burned offerings

38 He made the altar for entirely burned offerings out of acacia wood. The altar was square, seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide. It was four and a half feet high. 2 He made horns for it, one horn on each of its four corners. Its horns were attached to the altar, and he covered it with copper. 3 He made all the altar’s equipment: the pails, the shovels, the bowls, the meat forks, and the trays. He made all its equipment out of copper. 4 He made a grate for the altar of copper mesh underneath its bottom edge and extending halfway up to the middle of the altar. 5 He made four rings for each of the four corners of the copper grate to house the poles. 6 He made the poles out of acacia wood, and he covered them with copper. 7 He put the poles through the rings so that the poles were on the two sides of the altar when it was carried. He made the altar with planks but hollow inside.

8 He made the copper washbasin with its copper stand from the copper mirrors among the ranks of women assigned to the meeting tent’s entrance.

Constructing the dwelling’s plaza

9 He also set up the courtyard. The courtyard’s south side had drapes of fine twisted linen stretching one hundred fifty feet 10 with twenty posts, twenty copper bases, and silver hooks and bands for the posts. 11 Likewise the north side stretched one hundred fifty feet, with twenty posts, twenty copper bases, and silver hooks and bands for the posts. 12 On the west side the drapes stretched seventy-five feet, with their ten posts, their ten bases, and silver hooks and bands for the posts. 13 The front side facing east was seventy-five feet. 14 There were twenty-two and a half feet of drapes on one side with three posts and three bases for them. 15 Likewise, there were twenty-two and a half feet of drapes on the other side of the plaza’s gate with three posts and three bases for them. 16 All the drapes around the courtyard were made of fine twisted linen. 17 The bases for the posts were made of copper, but the hooks for the posts and their bands were made of silver. The tops of the posts were covered with silver, and all the posts surrounding the courtyard had silver bands. 18 The screen for the gate into the courtyard was made with blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen, decorated with needlework. It was thirty feet long and, along the width of it, seven and a half feet high, corresponding to the courtyard’s drapes. 19 It had four posts, their four copper bases, their silver hooks, and their tops and bands covered with silver. 20 All the tent pegs for the dwelling and for the courtyard all around were made of copper.

A listing of materials used

21 These are the accounts of the dwelling, the covenant dwelling, that were recorded at Moses’ instructions. They are the work of the Levites, under the direction of Ithamar, Aaron the priest’s son. 22 Bezalel, Uri’s son and Hur’s grandson from the tribe of Judah, made everything that the Lord had commanded Moses to make. 23 Working with Bezalel was Oholiab, Ahisamach’s son from the tribe of Dan, who was a gem cutter, a designer, and a needleworker in blue, purple, and deep red yarns and in fine linen.

24 The total amount of the gold that was used for construction of the whole sanctuary, gold from the uplifted offerings, was twenty-nine kikkars and seven hundred thirty shekels in weight, measured by the sanctuary shekel. 25 The silver from the community census totaled one hundred kikkars and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels in weight, measured by the sanctuary shekel. 26 They gave a beqa per person (that is, half a shekel, measured by the sanctuary shekel) for everyone who was counted in the census, 20 years old and above, 603,550 men. 27 One hundred kikkars of silver were used to cast the bases for the sanctuary and the bases for the veil, one hundred bases from one hundred kikkars of silver, one kikkar for every base. 28 He used one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels of silver[a] to make the hooks for the posts, cover their tops, and make bands for them. 29 The amount of copper from the uplifted offering was seventy kikkars and two thousand four hundred shekels in weight. 30 He used it to make the bases for the meeting tent’s entrance, the copper altar, its copper grate, and all the altar’s equipment, 31 the bases all around the courtyard, and the bases for the courtyard’s gate, all the dwelling’s tent pegs, and all the tent pegs used around the courtyard.

Éxodo 38
La Biblia de las Américas

El altar del holocausto, la pila y el atrio

38 (A)Hizo también el altar del holocausto de madera de acacia, de cinco codos[a] su longitud, de cinco codos su anchura, cuadrado, y de tres codos su altura. 2 Y le hizo cuernos en sus cuatro esquinas; los cuernos eran de una misma pieza con el altar[b], y lo revistió de bronce[c]. 3 Hizo asimismo todos los utensilios del altar: los calderos, las palas, los tazones, los garfios y los braseros. Todos sus utensilios los hizo de bronce. 4 Y por debajo, debajo de su borde, hizo para el altar un enrejado de bronce en forma de red, que llegaba hasta la mitad del altar. 5 Y fundió cuatro argollas en los cuatro extremos del enrejado de bronce por donde se metían[d] las varas. 6 Hizo también las varas de madera de acacia y las revistió de bronce. 7 Y metió las varas por las argollas que estaban en los lados del altar, para transportarlo. Lo hizo hueco, de tablas.

8 Además hizo la pila de bronce y su base de bronce(B), con los espejos de las mujeres que servían a la puerta de la tienda de reunión.

9 (C)Hizo también el atrio; hacia el lado del Neguev, al sur, las cortinas del atrio eran de lino fino torcido, de cien codos. 10 Sus veinte columnas y sus veinte basas eran de bronce; los ganchos de las columnas y sus molduras[e] eran de plata. 11 Por el lado norte había cien codos; sus veinte columnas con sus veinte basas eran de bronce, los ganchos de las columnas y sus molduras eran de plata. 12 Por el lado occidental había cortinas de cincuenta codos con sus diez columnas y sus diez basas; los ganchos de las columnas y sus molduras eran de plata. 13 Y por el lado oriental[f] había cincuenta codos. 14 Las cortinas a un lado[g] de la entrada eran de quince codos, con tres[h] columnas y sus tres basas, 15 y lo mismo al otro[i] lado[j]. A los dos lados[k] de la puerta del atrio había cortinas de quince codos, con sus tres columnas y sus tres basas. 16 Todas las cortinas alrededor del atrio eran de lino fino torcido. 17 Y las basas para las columnas eran de bronce, los ganchos de las columnas y sus molduras, de plata, y el revestimiento de sus capiteles, de plata, y todas las columnas del atrio tenían molduras de plata. 18 Y la cortina de la entrada del atrio de tela azul[l], púrpura y escarlata, y lino fino torcido era obra de tejedor[m]. La longitud era de veinte codos y la altura[n] de cinco codos, lo mismo que las cortinas del atrio. 19 Sus cuatro columnas y sus cuatro basas eran de bronce; sus ganchos eran de plata, y el revestimiento de sus capiteles y sus molduras eran también de plata. 20 Todas las estacas del tabernáculo[o] y del atrio alrededor eran de bronce.

Resumen del costo del tabernáculo

21 Esta es la suma de las cosas[p] del tabernáculo, el tabernáculo del testimonio, según fueron enumeradas conforme al mandato[q] de Moisés para el servicio de los levitas, bajo la dirección[r] de Itamar, hijo del sacerdote Aarón. 22 Y Bezaleel, hijo de Uri, hijo de Hur, de la tribu de Judá(D), hizo todo lo que el Señor había mandado a Moisés. 23 Y con él estaba Aholiab, hijo de Ahisamac, de la tribu de Dan, un grabador, artífice y tejedor[s](E) en tela azul[t], púrpura y escarlata y en lino fino.

24 El total del oro empleado para la obra, en toda la obra del santuario, es decir, el oro de la ofrenda mecida, fue de veintinueve talentos[u] y setecientos treinta siclos[v], según el siclo del santuario(F). 25 (G)Y la plata de los que fueron contados de la congregación, fue cien talentos y mil setecientos setenta y cinco siclos, según el siclo del santuario; 26 un becá por cabeza, o sea medio siclo, según el siclo del santuario, por cada uno de[w] los que fueron contados(H) de veinte años arriba, por cada uno de los seiscientos tres mil quinientos cincuenta(I). 27 Los cien talentos de plata fueron para fundir las basas del santuario y las basas del velo; cien basas por los cien talentos, un talento por basa. 28 Y de los mil setecientos setenta y cinco siclos hizo ganchos para las columnas y revistió sus capiteles y les hizo molduras. 29 Y el bronce de la ofrenda mecida fue setenta talentos y dos mil cuatrocientos siclos. 30 Con él hizo las basas de la entrada de la tienda de reunión, el altar de bronce, su enrejado de bronce y todos los utensilios del altar, 31 las basas del atrio alrededor y las basas de la entrada del atrio, todas las estacas del tabernáculo y todas las estacas del atrio alrededor.

Exodus 38
New International Version

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] 2 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) 3 They made all its utensils(C) of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. 4 They made a grating for the altar, a bronze network, to be under its ledge, halfway up the altar. 5 They cast bronze rings to hold the poles for the four corners of the bronze grating. 6 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 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

8 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)

9 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.
