- Kupsabiny: “So, all the things that those leaders gave for the anointing/inauguration of the altar are these: Twelve plates made from silver, twelve bowls made from silver and twelve small bowls made from gold which things that smell sweet filled. The total weight of silver reached twenty-eight kilos following the standard for weighing decided in the Tent of God. The total weight of gold reached one and a half kilo following the weight which was decided in the Tent of God.” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)

—twelve silver plates and twelve silver bowls, weighing a total of about 60 pounds/27.6 kg., each of them being weighed on the scales kept in the Sacred Tent;

—twelve bulls, twelve full-grown rams, and twelve one-year-old rams, to be sacrifices that were completely burned, along with the grain offerings;
