1 Tu feras ensuite un autel de bois incorruptible, long de cinq coudées, large de cinq coudées; il aura quatre faces, et trois coudées de haut.
“Tell them to make an altar from acacia wood. It is to be square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and make it (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
2 Tu feras des cornes aux quatre angles du haut; les cornes seront en saillie, et revêtues d'airain.
[They] must make [a projection that looks like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections must be carved from the same block of wood as the altar. [Tell them to] cover the whole altar with gold.
3 Tu feras une couronne à l'autel; et tu feras en airain sa table, et ses burettes, et ses réchauds, et ses crochets, et tous ses ustensiles.
[They must] make pans in which to put the [greasy] ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. Also [they must] make shovels for cleaning out the ashes, basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooks, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of these things must be made from bronze.
4 Tu feras aussi, pour l'autel, une grille d'airain à mailles; et tu feras, pour les quatre angles, quatre anneaux d'airain,
Also [tell them to] make a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They must fasten to each of the corners of the altar a bronze ring for carrying the altar.
5 Que tu mettras au-dessous de la grille de l'autel; et la grille s'étendra jusqu'au milieu de celui-ci.
[They must] put the grating under the rim that is around the altar. [They must] make it so that it is [inside the altar], halfway down.
6 Tu feras pour l'autel des leviers de bois incorruptible, que tu revêtiras d'airain,

9 Tu formeras, pour le tabernacle, un parvis du côté du sud; les tentures du parvis seront de lin filé, longues de cent coudées de ce côté.
“Around the Sacred Tent there is to be a courtyard. To form the courtyard, [tell them to] make curtains of fine linen. On the south side, the curtain is to be (50 yards/44 meters) long.
10 Il aura vingt colonnes avec vingt bases; leurs anneaux et les agrafes seront revêtus d'argent.

[They must] make the same kind of curtains for the north side of the courtyard.
12 La largeur du parvis, du côté de la mer, sera de cinquante coudées, avec dix colonnes et dix bases.

20 Ordonne encore aux fils d'Israël de te donner de l’huile d'olive, sans lie, pure, pilée au mortier, pour brûler et éclairer; car la lampe doit brûler toujours,
“Command the Israeli people that they must bring to you the best kind of olive oil to [burn in] the lamps. [They must bring this oil to you continually], in order that the lamps can burn continually.
21 Dans le tabernacle du témoignage, devant le voile de l'alliance; Aaron et ses fils la feront brûler devant le Seigneur du soir au matin. C'est une loi perpétuelle pour toutes les générations des fils d'Israël.
They must put the lampstand outside of the curtain which is in front of [the sacred chest which contains the stone slabs on which I have written] my commandments. Aaron must take care of the lamps. [After he dies], his descendants must do this work. The lamps are to burn every night, from evening until morning. The Israeli people must obey this regulation throughout all future generations.”
