Exodus 27

1 And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

And thou shalt make the altar of shittim wood: five cubits long, and five cubits broad, a foursquare shall the altar be, and three cubits shall be its height.

2 Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

And thou shalt make its horns on its four corners, from itself shall its horns be; and thou shalt overlay it with copper.

3 And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

And thou shalt make its pots to receive its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its forks, and its fire-pans; all its vessels thou shalt make of copper.

4 And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

And thou shalt make for it a grating, of a network of copper; and thou shalt make upon the net four rings of copper, on its four corners.

5 And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net shall reach even to the half of the altar.

6 And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with copper.

7 And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, when they bear it.

8 The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

Hollow, of boards, shalt thou make it; as it was shown to thee on the mount, so shall they make it.

9 And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side, on the right, the hangings for the court, of twisted linen, shall be a hundred cubits in length, for the one side.

10 Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases are to be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their bands are to be of silver.

And its pillars shall be twenty, with their twenty sockets of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

11 And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

And likewise for the north side in the length there shall be hangings one hundred cubits in length, and its pillars twenty with their twenty sockets of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

12 And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

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

13 And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide.

And the breadth of the court on the front side, eastward, shall be fifty cubits.

14 On the one side of the doorway will be hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases;

And fifteen cubits of hangings shall be on the one wing; their pillars shall be three and their sockets three.

15 And on the other side, hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.

And on the other wing shall be fifteen cubits of hangings; their pillars shall be three, and their sockets three.

16 And across the doorway, a veil of twenty cubits of the best linen, made of needlework of blue and purple and red, with four pillars and four bases.

And for the gate of the court shall be a hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen, the work of the embroiderer; with four pillars for the same, and their four sockets.

17 All the pillars round the open space are to have silver bands, with hooks of silver and bases of brass.

All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver and their sockets of copper.

18 The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.

The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twisted linen, and the sockets for the same of copper.

19 All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, shall be of copper.

20 Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure olive oil, beaten out, for the lighting, to cause a light to burn always.

21 Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.

In the tabernacle of the congregation, without the vail, which is before the testimony, shall Aaron with his sons arrange it [for] from the evening to the morning, before the Lord; as a statute for ever unto their generations, on behalf of the children of Israel.
