Exode 38
Louis Segond
38 Il fit l'autel des holocaustes de bois d'acacia; sa longueur était de cinq coudées, et sa largeur de cinq coudées; il était carré, et sa hauteur était de trois coudées.
2 Il fit, aux quatre coins, des cornes qui sortaient de l'autel, et il le couvrit d'airain.
3 Il fit tous les ustensiles de l'autel, les cendriers, les pelles, les bassins, les fourchettes et les brasiers; il fit d'airain tous ces ustensiles.
4 Il fit pour l'autel une grille d'airain, en forme de treillis, qu'il plaça au-dessous du rebord de l'autel, à partir du bas, jusqu'à la moitié de la hauteur de l'autel.
5 Il fondit quatre anneaux, qu'il mit aux quatre coins de la grille d'airain, pour recevoir les barres.
6 Il fit les barres de bois d'acacia, et les couvrit d'airain.
7 Il passa dans les anneaux aux côtés de l'autel les barres qui servaient à le porter. Il le fit creux, avec des planches.
8 Il fit la cuve d'airain, avec sa base d'airain, en employant les miroirs des femmes qui s'assemblaient à l'entrée de la tente d'assignation.
9 Il fit le parvis. Du côté du midi, il y avait, pour former le parvis, des toiles de fin lin retors, sur une longueur de cent coudées,
10 avec vingt colonnes posant sur vingt bases d'airain; les crochets des colonnes et leurs tringles étaient d'argent.
11 Du côté du nord, il y avait cent coudées de toiles, avec vingt colonnes et leurs vingt bases d'airain; les crochets des colonnes et leurs tringles étaient d'argent.
12 Du côté de l'occident, il y avait cinquante coudées de toiles, avec dix colonnes et leurs dix bases; les crochets des colonnes et leurs tringles étaient d'argent.
13 Du côté de l'orient, sur les cinquante coudées de largeur,
14 il y avait, pour une aile, quinze coudées de toiles, avec trois colonnes et leurs trois bases,
15 et, pour la seconde aile, qui lui correspondait de l'autre côté de la porte du parvis, quinze coudées de toiles, avec trois colonnes et leurs trois bases.
16 Toutes les toiles formant l'enceinte du parvis étaient de fin lin retors.
17 Les bases pour les colonnes étaient d'airain, les crochets des colonnes et leurs tringles étaient d'argent, et leurs chapiteaux étaient couverts d'argent. Toutes les colonnes du parvis étaient jointes par des tringles d'argent.
18 Le rideau de la porte du parvis était un ouvrage de broderie en fil bleu, pourpre et cramoisi, et en fin lin retors; il avait une longueur de vingt coudées, et sa hauteur était de cinq coudées, comme la largeur des toiles du parvis;
19 ses quatre colonnes et leurs quatre bases étaient d'airain, les crochets et leurs tringles étaient d'argent, et leurs chapiteaux étaient couverts d'argent.
20 Tous les pieux de l'enceinte du tabernacle et du parvis étaient d'airain.
21 Voici les comptes du tabernacle, du tabernacle d'assignation, révisés, d'après l'ordre de Moïse, par les soins des Lévites, sous la direction d'Ithamar, fils du sacrificateur Aaron.
22 Betsaleel, fils d'Uri, fils de Hur, de la tribu de Juda, fit tout ce que l'Éternel avait ordonné à Moïse;
23 il eut pour aide Oholiab, fils d'Ahisamac, de la tribu de Dan, habile à graver, à inventer, et à broder sur les étoffes teintes en bleu, en pourpre, en cramoisi, et sur le fin lin.
24 Le total de l'or employé à l'oeuvre pour tous les travaux du sanctuaire, or qui fut le produit des offrandes, montait à vingt-neuf talents et sept cent trente sicles, selon le sicle du sanctuaire.
25 L'argent de ceux de l'assemblée dont on fit le dénombrement montait à cent talents et mille sept cent soixante-quinze sicles, selon le sicle du sanctuaire.
26 C'était un demi-sicle par tête, la moitié d'un sicle, selon le sicle du sanctuaire, pour chaque homme compris dans le dénombrement, depuis l'âge de vingt ans et au-dessus, soit pour six cent trois mille cinq cent cinquante hommes.
27 Les cent talents d'argent servirent à fondre les bases du sanctuaire et les bases du voile, cent bases pour les cent talents, un talent par base.
28 Et avec les mille sept cent soixante-quinze sicles on fit les crochets et les tringles pour les colonnes, et on couvrit les chapiteaux.
29 L'airain des offrandes montait à soixante-dix talents et deux mille quatre cents sicles.
30 On en fit les bases de l'entrée de la tente d'assignation; l'autel d'airain avec sa grille, et tous les ustensiles de l'autel;
31 les bases du parvis, tout autour, et les bases de la porte du parvis; et tous les pieux de l'enceinte du tabernacle et du parvis.
Exodus 38
King James Version
38 And 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.
2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
3 And 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.
4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 And 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.
9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
10 Their pillars were twenty, and their brasen sockets twenty; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.
11 And 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.
12 And 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.
13 And for the east side eastward fifty cubits.
14 The hangings of the one side of the gate were fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And 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.
16 All the hangings of the court round about were of fine twined linen.
17 And 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.
18 And 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.
19 And 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.
20 And 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.
22 And Bezaleel the son Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses.
23 And 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.
24 All 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.
25 And 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:
26 A 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.
27 And 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.
28 And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels he made hooks for the pillars, and overlaid their chapiters, and filleted them.
29 And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
30 And 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,
31 And 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.

Making the Altar of Burnt Offering(A)
38 He made (B)the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood; five cubits was its length and five cubits its width—it was square—and its height was three cubits. 2 He made its horns on its four corners; the horns were of one piece with it. And he overlaid it with bronze. 3 He made all the utensils for the altar: the pans, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils he made of bronze. 4 And he made a grate of bronze network for the altar, under its rim, midway from the bottom. 5 He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles. 6 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. 7 Then he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it. He made the altar hollow with boards.

8 He made (C)the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the serving women who assembled at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

Making the Altar of Burnt Offering
38 (A)He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. Five cubits[a] was its length, and five cubits its breadth. It was square, and three cubits was its height. 2 He made horns for it on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 And 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. 4 And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down. 5 He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles. 6 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it with them. He made it hollow, with boards.

8 (B)He made the basin of bronze and its stand of bronze, from the mirrors of the (C)ministering women who ministered in the entrance of the tent of meeting.

9 (D)And he made the court. For the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits; 10 their twenty pillars and their twenty bases were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver. 11 And 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. 12 And 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. 13 And for the front to the east, fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases. 15 And so for the other side.

Materials for the Tabernacle
21 These are the records of the tabernacle, (E)the tabernacle of the testimony, as they were recorded at the commandment of Moses, the responsibility of the Levites (F)under the direction of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest. 22 (G)Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the Lord commanded Moses; 23 and with him was (H)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.
24 All 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,[b] by (I)the shekel of the sanctuary. 25 The silver from those of the congregation who were recorded was a hundred talents and 1,775 shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary: 26 a (J)beka[c] 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 (K)603,550 men. 27 The hundred talents of silver were for casting the (L)bases of the sanctuary and the bases of the veil; a hundred bases for the hundred talents, a talent a base. 28 And of the 1,775 shekels he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their capitals and made fillets for them. 29 The bronze that was offered was seventy talents and 2,400 shekels; 30 with it he made the (M)bases for the entrance of the tent of meeting, (N)the bronze altar and the bronze grating for it and all the utensils of the altar, 31 the (O)bases around the court, and the (P)bases of the gate of the court, all the (Q)pegs of the tabernacle, and all the pegs around the court.
