Exodus 38
1 Fecit et altare holocausti de lignis setim, quinque cubitorum per quadrum, et trium in altitudine:
Bezalel made the altar burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square and measured five cubits long by five cubits wide by three cubits high.
2 cuius cornua de angulis procedebant, operuitque illum laminis aeneis.
He made horns for each of its corners, all one piece with the altar, and covered the whole altar with bronze.
3 Et in usus eius paravit ex aere vasa diversa, lebetes, forcipes, fuscinulas, uncinos, et ignium receptacula.
He made all its utensils: buckets for removing ashes, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans. He made all its utensils of bronze.
4 Craticulamque eius in modum retis fecit aeneam, et subter eam in altaris medio arulam,
He made a bronze mesh grate for the altar and placed it under the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh came halfway down the altar.
5 fusis quattuor annulis per totidem retiaculi summitates, ad immittendos vectes ad portandum:
He cast four bronze rings for the four corners of the grate as holders for the poles.
6 quos et ipsos fecit de lignis setim, et operuit laminis aeneis:
He made poles of acacia wood for the altar and covered them with bronze.
7 induxitque in circulos, qui in lateribus altaris eminebant. Ipsum autem altare non erat solidum, sed cavum ex tabulatis, et intus vacuum.
He put the poles through the rings on either side of the altar so it could be carried. He made the altar hollow, using boards.
8 Fecit et labrum aeneum cum basi sua de speculis mulierum, quae excubabant in ostio tabernaculi.
He made the bronze basin with its stand with bronze from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
9 Fecit et atrium, in cuius australi plaga erant tentoria de bysso retorta, cubitorum centum,
Then he made a courtyard. For the south side of the courtyard he made curtains of finely-spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,
10 columnae aeneae viginti cum basibus suis, capita columnarum, et tota operis caelatura, argentea.

11 Aeque ad septentrionalem plagam tentoria, columnae, basesque et capita columnarum eiusdem mensurae, et operis ac metalli, erant.
Similarly he made curtains placed on the north side in an identical arrangement.
12 In ea vero plaga, quae ad Occidentem respicit, fuerunt tentoria cubitorum quinquaginta, columnae decem cum basibus suis aeneae, et capita columnarum, et tota operis caelatura, argentea.

18 Et in introitu eius opere plumario fecit tentorium ex hyacintho, purpura, vermiculo, ac bysso retorta, quod habebat viginti cubitos in longitudine, altitudo vero quinque cubitorum erat iuxta mensuram, quam cuncta atrii tentoria habebant.
The curtain for the entrance to the courtyard was embroidered with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen. It was twenty cubits long by five cubits high, the same height as the courtyard curtains.
