Exodus 27

1 “You are to build an altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

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.

2 Make a horn on each of its four corners, so that the horns are of one piece, and overlay it with bronze.

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.

3 Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans.

4 Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh.

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.

5 Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.

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

6 Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.

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

7 The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.

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.

8 Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

16 The gate of the courtyard shall be twenty cubits long, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It shall have four posts and four bases.

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.

17 All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.

20 And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

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

21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.

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.
