Fecit et altare holocausti de lignis setim, quinque cubitorum per quadrum, et trium in altitudine:
2
cuius cornua de angulis procedebant, operuitque illum laminis æneis.
3
Et in usus eius paravit ex ære vasa diversa, lebetes, forcipes, fuscinulas, uncinos, et ignium receptacula.
4
Craticulamque eius in modum retis fecit æneam, et subter eam in altaris medio arulam,
5
fusis quattuor annulis per totidem retiaculi summitates, ad immittendos vectes ad portandum:
6
quos et ipsos fecit de lignis setim, et operuit laminis æneis:
7
induxitque in circulos, qui in lateribus altaris eminebant. Ipsum autem altare non erat solidum, sed cavum ex tabulis, et intus vacuum.
8
Fecit et labrum æneum cum basi sua de speculis mulierum, quæ excubabant in ostio tabernaculi.
9
Fecit et atrium, in cuius australi plaga erant tentoria de bysso retorta, cubitorum centum,
10
columnæ æneæ viginti cum basibus suis, capita columnarum, et tota operis cælatura, argentea.
11
Æque ad septentrionalem plagam tentoria, columnæ, basesque et capita columarum eiusdem mensuræ, et operis ac metalli, erant.
12
In ea vero plaga, quæ ad Occidentem respicit, fuerunt tentoria cubitorum quinquaginta, columnæ decem cum basibus suis æneæ, et capita columnarum, et tota operis cælatura, argentea.
13
Porro contra orientem quinquaginta cubitorum paravit tentoria:
14
e quibus, quindecim cubitos columnarum trium, cum basibus suis unum tenebat latus:
15
et in parte altera (quia inter utraque introitum tabernaculi fecit) quindecim æque cubitorum erant tentoria, columnæque tres, et bases totidem.
16
Cuncta atrii tentoria byssus retorta texuerat.
17
Bases columnarum fuere æneæ, capita autem earum cum cunctis cælaturis suis argentea: sed et ipsas columnas atrii vestivit argento.
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.
19
Columnæ autem in ingressu fuere quattuor cum basibus æneis, capitaque earum et cælaturæ argenteæ.
20
Paxillos quoque tabernaculi et atrii per gyrum fecit æneos.
21
Hæc sunt instrumena tabernaculi testimonii, quæ enumerata sunt iuxta præceptum Moysi in cæremoniis Levitarum per manum Ithamar filii Aaron sacerdotis:
22
quæ Beseleel filius Uri filii Hur de tribu Iuda, Domino per Moysen iubente, compleverat,
23
iuncto sibi socio Ooliab filio Achisamech de tribu Dan: qui et ipse artifex lignorum egregius fuit, et polymitarius atque plumarius ex hyacintho, purpura, vermiculo, et bysso.
24
Omne aurum quod expensum est in opere Sanctuarii, et quod oblatum est in donariis, viginti novem talentorum fuit, et septingentorum triginta siclorum ad mensuram Sanctuarii.
25
Oblatum est autem ab his qui transierunt ad numerum a viginti annis et supra, de sexcentis tribus millibus, et quingentis quinquaginta, armatorum.
26
Fuerunt præterea centum talenta argenti, e quibus conflatæ sunt bases Sanctuarii, et introitus ubi velum pendet.
27
Centum bases factæ sunt de talentis centum, singulis talentis per bases singulas supputatis.
28
De mille autem septingentis, et septuaginta quinque fecit capita columnarum, quas et ipsas vestivit argento.
29
Æris quoque oblata sunt talenta septuaginta duo millia, et quadringenti supra sicli,
30
ex quibus fusæ sunt bases in introitu tabernaculi testimonii, et altare æneum cum craticula sua, omniaque vasa, quæ ad usum eius pertinent,
31
et bases atrii tam in circuitu quam in ingressu eius, et paxilli tabernaculi atque atrii, per gyrum.

22
Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made all that the LORD commanded Moses.
23
With him was Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, an engraver, and a skillful workman, and an embroiderer in blue, in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen.
24
All the gold that was used for the work in all the work of the sanctuary, even the gold of the offering, was twenty-nine talents and seven hundred thirty shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
25
The silver of those who were counted of the congregation was one hundred talents and one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary:
26
a beka a head, that is, half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for everyone who passed over to those who were counted, from twenty years old and upward, for six hundred three thousand five hundred fifty men.
27
The one hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil: one hundred sockets for the one hundred talents, one talent per socket.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
