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 the altar of acacia wood, —of five cubits length and five cubits breadth four square, shall the altar be, and three cubits the height thereof.

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

And thou shalt make its horns upon its four corners, of the same, shall be its horns, —and thou shalt overlay it with copper.

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 its pans for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its sprinkling bowls, and its flesh-hooks and its fire-pans, —all its vessels, shalt thou make of bronze.

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 to it a grating, a network of bronze, —and thou shalt make upon the network, four rings of bronze, upon the four corners thereof.

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 place it under the margin of the altar beneath, —so shall the network reach unto the midst 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 staves for the altar, staves of acacia wood, —and shalt overlay them with copper.

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

And the staves shall be brought into the rings, —so shall the staves be on the two sides of the altar in lifting 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.

Hollow with boards, shalt thou make it, —as it was showed thee in the mount, so, shall they 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 the court of the habitation, —on the south side southward, hangings for the court of fine-twined linen, a hundred cubits in length to the 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 the pillars thereof twenty, with their sockets twenty, of bronze, —and the hooks of the pillars and their cross-rods 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.

And, so, for the north side in length, hangings a hundred cubits, —and the pillars thereof twenty, and their sockets twenty. of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their cross-rods of 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, the breadth of the court on the west side, hangings 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, the breadth of the court on the east side eastward, fifty cubits;

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

and fifteen cubits the hangings for the side-piece, —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-piece, fifteen hangings, —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 for the gate of the court, a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of an 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, to be joined with cross-rods of silver, and their hooks of silver, —and their sockets of bronze,

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.

The length of the court, a hundred cubits and the breadth fifty throughout and the height five cubits of fine-twined linen, —and their sockets, of bronze.

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.

All the utensils of the habitation, throughout all the service thereof, —and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, of bronze.

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

Thou thyself, therefore, shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring unto thee—pure, beaten olive-oil, for giving light, —that the lamp may lift up its flame 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 tent of meeting, outside the veil which is by the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it from evening until morning, before Yahweh, —a statute age-abiding, to their generations, from the sons of Israel.
