1 Et Beseléel fit l'arche.
The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,
2 Il la revêtit d'or pur au dedans et au dehors.
And he put horns at its four angles made of the same, plating it all with brass;
3 Et, pour elle, il jeta en fonte quatre anneaux d'or, deux d'un côté, deux de l'autre côté,
And brass was used for all the vessels of the altar, the baskets and the spades, the basins and the meat-hooks and the fire-trays; all the vessels he made of brass
4 Assez larges pour qu'en y passant les leviers, on pût enlever l'arche.
And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;
5 Au-dessus de l'arche, il fit le propitiatoire en or pur,
And four rings for the four angles of this network, to take the rods.
6 Avec les deux chérubins d'or,
The rods he made of hard wood plated with brass.
7 L'un des chérubins sur l'un des bords du propitiatoire, l'autre chérubin sur l'autre bord
He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.
8 Ombrageant de leurs ailes la surface du propitiatoire.
And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of the Tent of meeting.
9 Il fit, pour être placé devant l'arche, la table; en or pur
To make the open space, he put hangings on the south side, of the best linen, a hundred cubits long:
10 Et, pour elle, il jeta en fonte quatre anneaux, deux sur l'un des côtés, deux sur l'autre côté, Assez larges pour qu'en y passant les leviers, on pût enlever la table.

14 avec les branches sortant de ses deux côtés;
The hangings on one side of the doorway were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases;
15 Les fleurs tenant aux branches, qui étaient trois à droite et trois à gauche, semblables les unes aux autres,
And the same on the other side of the doorway; on this side and on that the hangings were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases.
16 Et leurs petites lampes, posant sur leurs extrémités, façonnées comme des noix, avec les becs qui en sortent pour en être les foyers lumineux, et le septième bec, sur la pointe extrême du chandelier, en or massif.
All the hangings were of the best linen.
17 Et les sept lampes d'or, reposant sur le chandelier, avec leurs mouchettes d'or, et leurs récipients en or.
And the bases of the pillars were of brass; their hooks and the bands round the tops of them were of silver; all the pillars were ringed with silver.
18 Il revêtit d'argent les colonnes; il jeta en fonte les colonnes, les anneaux d'or; il revêtit d'or les leviers, ainsi que les colonnes du voile intérieur, il fit les attaches d'or,
And the curtain for the doorway of the open space was of the best linen, with designs of blue and purple and red in needlework; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high, to go with the hangings round the sides.
19 Et il fit les boucles d'or du tabernacle, les boucles du parvis, et les boucles d'airain pour tendre la couverture extérieure;

All the nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.
21 Et il fit les piquets du tabernacle, et les piquets du parvis, tous en airain.
This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
22 Il fit l'autel d'airain, avec les encensoirs d'airain, qui avaient appartenu aux hommes de la troupe de Coré.

And with him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; a designer and a trained workman, expert in needlework of blue and purple and red and the best linen.
24 Il fit aussi pour l'autel une devanture en forme de grillage, au-dessous du foyer, descendant jusqu'à la moitié de l'autel, et il adapta quatre anneaux aux quatre angles supérieurs de cette devanture de l'autel; assez larges pour qu'en y passant les leviers, on pût enlever l'autel;

A beka, that is, half a shekel by the holy scale, for everyone who was numbered; there were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men of twenty years old and over.
27 Il fit le réservoir, afin que Moïse et Aaron et ses fils s’y lavassent les pieds et les mains, avant d'entrer dans le tabernacle du témoignage ou de monter à l'autel pour exercer le sacerdoce; ils s'y lavaient comme le Seigneur l'avait prescrit à Moïse.
Of this silver, a hundred talents was used for making the bases of the pillars of the holy place and of the veil; a talent for every base.
And a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels of silver was used to make the hooks for the pillars, and for plating the tops of the pillars and for making their bands.
