O altar era oco, feito de tábuas.8Fez a bacia de bronze e a sua base com os espelhos das mulheres que serviam à entrada da Tenda do Encontro.

O Material para a Construção do Tabernáculo
21Esta é a relação do material usado para o tabernáculo, o tabernáculo da aliança, registrada por ordem de Moisés pelos levitas, sob a direção de Itamar, filho de Arão, o sacerdote.22Bezalel, filho de Uri, neto de Hur, da tribo de Judá, fez tudo o que o SENHOR tinha ordenado a Moisés.23Com ele estava Aoliabe, filho de Aisamaque, da tribo de Dã, artesão e projetista, e também bordador em linho fino e de fios de tecidos azul, roxo e vermelho.24O peso total do ouro recebido na oferta movida e utilizado para a obra do santuário foi de uma tonelada[2], com base no peso padrão do santuário.25O peso da prata recebida dos que foram contados no recenseamento da comunidade foi superior a três toneladas e meia[3], com base no peso padrão do santuário:26seis gramas[4] para cada um dos recenseados, isto é, para seiscentos e três mil, quinhentos e cinquenta homens de vinte anos de idade para cima.27As três toneladas e meia de prata foram usadas para fundir as bases do santuário e do véu: cem bases feitas das três toneladas e meia, trinta e cinco quilos para cada base.28Vinte quilos e trezentos gramas foram usados para fazer os ganchos para as colunas, para revestir a parte superior das colunas e para fazer as suas ligaduras.29O peso do bronze da oferta movida foi de duas toneladas e meia[5].30Ele o utilizou para fazer as bases da entrada da Tenda do Encontro, o altar de bronze, a sua grelha e todos os seus utensílios,31as bases do pátio ao redor e da sua entrada, e todas as estacas do tabernáculo e do pátio em derredor.
1He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. Five cubits[1] was its length, and five cubits its breadth. It was square, and three cubits was its height. (Ex 27:1)2He made horns for it on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.3And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze.4And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down.5He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles.6He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.7And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, with boards.
Making the Bronze Basin
8He made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered in the entrance of the tent of meeting. (Ex 30:18; Nm 4:23; Nm 8:24; 1 Sm 2:22)
Making the Court
9And he made the court. For the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; (Ex 27:9)10their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.11And for the north side there were hangings of a hundred cubits; their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.12And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars, and their ten bases; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.13And for the front to the east, fifty cubits.14The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases.15And so for the other side. On both sides of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases.16All the hangings around the court were of fine twined linen.17And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. The overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.18And the screen for the gate of the court was embroidered with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. It was twenty cubits long and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court.19And their pillars were four in number. Their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.20And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court all around were of bronze.
Materials for the Tabernacle
21These are the records of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. (Ex 6:23; Ex 16:34; Ex 28:1; Nm 1:50; Nm 1:53; Nm 4:28; Nm 4:33; Nm 9:15; Nm 10:11; Nm 17:7; Nm 18:2; 2 Cr 24:6; At 7:44)22Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses; (Ex 31:2; Ex 31:6)23and with him was Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver and designer and embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. (Ex 38:22)24All the gold that was used for the work, in all the construction of the sanctuary, the gold from the offering, was twenty-nine talents and 730 shekels,[2] by the shekel of the sanctuary. (Ex 30:13)25The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary:26a beka[3] a head (that is, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary), for everyone who was listed in the records, from twenty years old and upward, for 603,550 men. (Ex 38:24; Nm 1:46)27The hundred talents of silver were for casting the bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent a base. (Ex 26:19; Ex 26:21; Ex 26:25; Ex 26:32)28And of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them.29The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels;30with it he made the bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar, (Ex 26:37; Ex 27:2)31the bases around the court, and the bases of the gate of the court, all the pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court. (Ex 27:10; Ex 27:16; Ex 27:19)
