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 hast made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth — the altar is square — and three cubits its height.
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 hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid 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.
And thou hast made its pots to remove its ashes, and its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire-pans, even all its vessels thou dost make of brass.
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 hast made for it a grate of net-work of brass, and hast made on the net four rings of brass on its four extremities,
5 Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.
and hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net hath been unto the middle of the altar.
6 Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.
'And thou hast made staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid 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 have been brought into the rings, and the staves have been on 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.
Hollow with boards thou dost make it, as it hath been shewed thee in the mount, so do they make [it].
9 You are also to make a courtyard for the tabernacle. On the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,
'And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit [is] the length for the one side,
10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.
and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver;
11 Likewise there are to be curtains on the north side, a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
and so for the north side in length, hangings of a hundred [cubits] in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver.
12 The curtains on the west side of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten bases.
'And [for] the breadth of the court at the west side [are] hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
13 The east side of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, is to be fifty cubits wide.
And [for] the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, [are] fifty cubits.
14 Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases,
And the hangings at the side [are] fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.
And at the second side [are] hangings fifteen [cubits], their pillars three, and their sockets three.
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 a covering of twenty cubits, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets four.
17 All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.
All the pillars of the court round about [are] filleted [with] silver, their pegs [are] silver, and their sockets brass.
18 The entire courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains of finely spun linen five cubits high, and with bronze bases.
'The length of the court [is] a hundred by the cubit, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twined linen, and their sockets [are] brass,
19 All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, including all its tent pegs and the tent pegs of the courtyard, shall be made of bronze.
even all the vessels of the tabernacle, in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, [are] brass.
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 — thou dost command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause the lamp to go up 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, at the outside of the vail, which [is] over the testimony, doth Aaron — his sons also — arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah — a statute age-during to their generations, from the sons of Israel.
