Exodus 27

1 And thou shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad (the altar shall be foursquare), and the height of it shall be three cubits.

Thou shalt make also an altar of setim wood, which shall be five cubits long and as many broad, that is, foursquare, and three cubits high.

2 And thou shall make the horns of it upon the four corners of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it, and thou shall overlay it with brass.

And there shall be horns at the four corners of the same: and thou shalt cover it with brass.

3 And thou shall make its pots to take away its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its flesh-hooks, and its firepans; all the vessels of it thou shall make of brass.

And thou shalt make for the uses thereof pans to receive the ashes, and tongs and fleshhooks, and firepans: all its vessels thou shalt make of brass.

4 And thou shall make for it a grating of network of brass, and upon the network thou shall make four brazen rings in the four corners of it.

And a grate of brass in manner of a net: at the four corners of which shall be four rings of brass,

5 And thou shall put it under the ledge round the altar beneath, that the network may reach halfway up the altar.

Which thou shalt put under the hearth of the altar: and the grate shall be even to the midst of the altar.

6 And thou shall make staves for the altar, staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with brass.

Thou shalt make also two bars for the altar of setim wood, which thou shalt cover with plates of brass:

7 And the staves of it shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, in bearing it.

And thou shalt draw them through rings, and they shall be on both sides of the altar to carry it.

8 Thou shall make it hollow with planks. As it has been shown thee on the mount, so shall they make it.

Thou shalt not make it solid, but empty and hollow in the inside, as it was shewn thee in the mount.

9 And thou shall make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side.

Thou shalt make also the court of the tabernacle, in the south side whereof southward there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits long for one side.

10 And the pillars of it shall be twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver.

And twenty pillars with as many sockets of brass, the heads of which with their engraving of silver.

11 And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, and the pillars of it twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass, the hooks of the pillars and their bands, of silver.

In like manner also on the north side there shall be hangings of a hundred cubits long, twenty pillars, and as many sockets of brass, and their heads with their engraving of silver.

12 And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

But in the breadth of the court, that looketh to the west, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, and ten pillars, and as many sockets.

13 And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.

In that breadth also of the court, which looketh to the east, there shall be fifty cubits.

14 The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

In which there shall be for one side hangings of fifteen cubits, and three pillars and as many sockets.

15 And for the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

And in the other side there shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with three pillars and as many sockets.

16 And for the gate of the court shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer, their pillars four, and their sockets four.

And in the entrance of the court there shall be made a hanging of twenty cubits of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, with embroidered work: it shall have four pillars with as many sockets.

17 All the pillars of the court round about shall be banded with silver, their hooks of silver, and their sockets of brass.

All the pillars of the court round about shall be garnished with plates of silver, silver heads and sockets of brass.

18 The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty everywhere, and the height five cubits, of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.

In length the court shall take up a hundred cubits, in breadth fifty, the height shall be of five cubits, and it shall be made of fine twisted linen, and shall have sockets of brass.

19 All the instruments of the tabernacle in all the service of it, and all the pegs of it, and all the pegs of the court, shall be of brass.

All the vessels of the tabernacle for all uses and ceremonies, and the pins both of it, and of the court, thou shalt make of brass.

20 And thou shall command the sons of Israel, that they bring to thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually

Command the children of Israel that they bring thee the purest oil of the olives, and beaten with a pestle: that a lamp may burn always,

21 in the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony. Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Jehovah. It shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the sons of Israel.

In the tabernacle of the testimony without the veil that hangs before the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall order it, that it may give light before the Lord until the morning. It shall be a perpetual observance throughout their successions among the children of Israel.
