Exodus 27

1 “You shall also make an altar of setim wood, which will have five cubits in length, and the same in width, that is, four equal sides, and three cubits in height.

And thou shalt make an altar of incorruptible wood, of five cubits in the length, and five cubits in the breadth; the altar shall be square, and the height of it shall be of three cubits.

2 Now there shall be horns at the four corners of it, and you shall cover it with brass.

And thou shalt make the horns on the four corners; the horns shall be of the same piece, and thou shalt overlay them with brass.

3 And you shall make, for its uses, pans to receive the ashes, and tongs as well as small hooks, and receptacles for fire. You shall fabricate all of its vessels from brass,

And thou shalt make a rim for the altar; and its covering and its cups, and its flesh-hooks, and its fire-pan, and all its vessels shalt thou make of brass.

4 along with a grating of brass in the manner of a net. At its four corners there shall be four rings of brass,

And thou shalt make for it a brazen grate with net-work; and thou shalt make for the grate four brazen rings under the four sides.

5 which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of the altar.

And thou shalt put them below under the grate of the altar, and the grate shall extend to the middle of the altar.

6 You shall also make, for the altar, two bars of setim wood, which you shall cover with layers of brass.

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

7 And you shall lead them through the rings, and they will be on both sides of the altar to carry it.

And thou shalt put the staves into the rings; and let the staves be on the sides of the altar to carry it.

8 You shall not make it solid, but empty and hollow at the interior, just as it was shown to you on the mountain.

Thou shalt make it hollow with boards: according to what was shewed thee in the mount, so thou shalt make it.

9 You shall also make the atrium of the tabernacle, at the southern part of which, opposite the meridian, there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen: one side extending for one hundred cubits in length.

And thou shalt make a court for the tabernacle, curtains of the court of fine linen spun on the south side, the length of a hundred cubits for one side.

10 And you shall make twenty columns with the same number of bases of brass, the heads of which, with their engravings, shall be made of silver.

And their pillars twenty, and twenty brazen sockets for them, and their rings and their clasps of silver.

11 In like manner also, throughout the length of the north side, there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits, and twenty columns, and the same number of bases of brass, and their heads with their engravings of silver.

Thus [shall there be] to the side toward the north curtains of a hundred cubits in length; and their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty of brass, and the rings and the clasps of the pillars, and their sockets overlaid with silver.

12 Yet truly, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the west, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns, and the same number of bases.

And in the breadth of the tabernacle toward the west curtains of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten.

13 Likewise, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the east, there shall be fifty cubits,

And in the breadth of the tabernacle toward the south, curtains of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

14 along which there shall be assigned hangings of fifteen cubits for one side, and three columns, and the same number of bases.

And the height of the curtains [shall be] of fifty cubits for the one side [of the gate]; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

15 And, along the other side, there shall be hangings occupying fifteen cubits, with three columns and the same number of bases.

And [for] the second side the height of the curtains [shall be] of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.

16 Yet truly, at the entrance of the atrium, there shall be made a hanging of twenty cubits, of hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery. It shall have four columns, with the same number of bases.

And a veil for the door of the court, the height [of it] of twenty cubits of blue linen, and of purple, and spun scarlet, and of fine linen spun with the art of the embroiderer; their pillars four, and their sockets four.

17 All the columns surrounding the atrium shall be clothed with layers of silver, with silver heads, and with bases of brass.

All the pillars of the court round about overlaid with silver, and their chapiters silver and their brass sockets.

18 In length, the atrium shall occupy one hundred cubits, in width, fifty; the height shall be of five cubits. And it shall be made of fine twisted linen, and it shall have bases of brass.

And the length of the court [shall be] a hundred [cubits] on each side, and the breadth fifty on each side, and the height five cubits of fine linen spun, and their sockets of brass.

19 All the vessels of the tabernacle, for all uses and ceremonies, even to the tent pegs for its atrium, you shall make of brass.

And all the furniture and all the instruments and the pins of the court [shall be] of brass.

20 Instruct the sons of Israel so that they may bring you the purest oil of the olive trees, crushed with a pestle, so that a lamp may always burn

And do thou charge the children of Israel, and let them take for thee refined pure olive-oil beaten to burn for light, that a lamp may burn continually

21 in the tabernacle of the testimony, outside of the veil that enshrouds the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall arrange it, so that it may give light in the presence of the Lord, until morning. This shall be a perpetual observance among the sons of Israel, throughout their successions.”

in the tabernacle of the testimony, without the veil that is before the [ark of the] covenant, shall Aaron and his sons burn it from evening until morning, before the Lord: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations of the children of Israel.
