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

And thou hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it [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 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 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 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 which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of 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 You shall also make, for the altar, two bars of setim wood, which you shall cover with layers of brass.

'And thou hast made staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid 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 the staves have been brought into the rings, and the staves have been on the two sides of the altar in bearing 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 thou dost make it, as it hath been shewed thee in the mount, so do 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 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 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 its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] 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 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 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 [for] the breadth of the court at the west side [are] hangings 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 [for] the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, [are] 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 the hangings at the side [are] fifteen cubits, 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 at the second side [are] hangings 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 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 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 [are] filleted [with] silver, their pegs [are] silver, and their sockets brass.

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

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 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 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 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, 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.
