Latin (Vulgate)

obtulit acetabulum argenteum appendens centum triginta siclos, phialam argenteam habentem septuaginta siclos, ad pondus sanctuarii, utrumque plenum simila conspersa oleo in sacrificum:

Spanish

presentó su ofrenda: una bandeja de plata, con un peso de ciento treinta siclos, un tazón de plata de setenta siclos, según el peso del santuario, ambos llenos de harina fina amasada con aceite para una ofrenda de grano;

Classic Spanish (Reina-Valera 1909)

Y su ofrenda, un plato de plata de ciento y treinta siclos de peso, un jarro de plata de setenta siclos, al siclo del santuario; ambos llenos de flor de harina amasada con aceite para presente;

English

His offering was one silver platter weighing a hundred and thirty shekels, and one silver bowl weighing seventy shekels, both according to the sanctuary shekel and filled with fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering;

✦ What the text says

Summary

This verse records the offering brought by one of the tribal leaders during the dedication of the tabernacle: a silver dish and a silver bowl, each specified by weight in shekels, both filled with fine flour mixed with oil for a grain offering. The verse is entirely composed of measurements and material descriptions, with no finite verb of its own in the Hebrew.

Key words

ka.re.ba.N / korbano ("offering", H7133A) — construct form with pronominal suffix "his," identifying the item as belonging to the specific leader named earlier in the chapter's list.
ka.'a.rat- ("dish of", H7086) — feminine singular construct, linking directly to Kesef ("silver", H3701G) to form "a dish of silver."
mish.ka.La / mishqalah ("weight, its", H4948) — construct noun with 3rd feminine singular suffix "her," referring back to the dish, specifying "its weight."
me.le.'Im ("full", H4392) — masculine plural adjective describing she.nei.hem ("both of them", H8147+H9028), a dual construct with suffix meaning "the two of them."
be.lu.Lah ("mixed", H1101A) — Qal passive participle feminine singular, describing the state of the So.let ("fine flour", H5560) as already combined with oil.

What the text says

The Hebrew sentence is built almost entirely from noun chains in construct relationship, without a governing finite verb in this verse itself (the verb of presenting appears earlier in the chapter's sequence). The structure moves from the general term korbano ("his offering") to specific items: qa'arat-kesef ("a dish of silver") and mizraq... kesef ("a bowl... of silver"), each followed by numerical values indicating weight in shekels. The phrase be-sheqel ha-qodesh ("by the shekel of the holy place") qualifies both weights as measured according to a specific standard, using the construct form sheqel followed by the article ha- ("the") plus qodesh ("holy place", H6944G).

The dual form she.nei.hem ("both of them") groups the dish and bowl together as a pair before the adjective me.le.'Im ("full") describes their shared content. The participle belulah ("mixed") is passive, indicating the flour's condition as already prepared, not an action being performed in this clause. The final phrase le-minchah ("for a grain offering") uses the preposition le- ("to/for") to state the purpose of the entire assemblage.

Differences between versions

The LXX renders qa'arat ("dish") as trύblion and mizraq ("bowl") as phialē, both concrete Greek vessel terms corresponding to the Hebrew nouns without semantic addition. The Vulgate uses acetabulum ("small vinegar-cup/dish") for qa'arat and phialam for mizraq, showing a similar vessel-for-vessel correspondence. All three texts preserve the same numerical values (130 and 70) and the reference to sanctuary-standard weight, with no divergence in the measurements themselves.
