Exodus 27

1 And thou shalt make the altar of acacia-wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth; the altar shall be square; and the height thereof three cubits.

Thou shalt make also an altar of setim wood, which shall be five cubits long and as many broad, that is, foursquare, and three cubits high.

2 And thou shalt make its horns at the four corners thereof; its horns shall be of itself; and thou shalt overlay it with copper.

And there shall be horns at the four corners of the same: and thou shalt cover it with brass.

3 And thou shalt make its pots to cleanse it of the fat, its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its firepans; for all the utensils thereof thou shalt employ copper.

And thou shalt make for the uses thereof pans to receive the ashes, and tongs and fleshhooks, and firepans: all its vessels thou shalt make of brass.

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

And a grate of brass in manner of a net: at the four corners of which shall be four rings of brass,

5 and thou shalt put it under the ledge of the altar beneath, and the net shall be to the very middle of the altar.

Which thou shalt put under the hearth of the altar: and the grate shall be even to the midst of the altar.

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

Thou shalt make also two bars for the altar of setim wood, which thou shalt cover with plates of brass:

7 And its staves shall be put into the rings, that the staves may be on both sides of the altar, when it is carried.

And thou shalt draw them through rings, and they shall be on both sides of the altar to carry it.

8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it hath been shewn thee on the mountain, so shall they make [it].

Thou shalt not make it solid, but empty and hollow in the inside, as it was shewn thee in the mount.

9 And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side, southward, hangings for the court of twined byssus; a hundred cubits the length for the one side,

Thou shalt make also the court of the tabernacle, in the south side whereof southward there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits long for one side.

10 and the twenty pillars thereof, and their twenty bases of copper, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

And twenty pillars with as many sockets of brass, the heads of which with their engraving of silver.

11 And likewise on the north side in length, hangings a hundred [cubits] long, and its twenty pillars, and their twenty bases of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

In like manner also on the north side there shall be hangings of a hundred cubits long, twenty pillars, and as many sockets of brass, and their heads with their engraving of silver.

12 — And the breadth of the court on the west side, hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their bases ten.

But in the breadth of the court, that looketh to the west, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, and ten pillars, and as many sockets.

13 — And the breadth of the court on the east side, eastward, fifty cubits;

In that breadth also of the court, which looketh to the east, there shall be fifty cubits.

14 the hangings on the one wing, of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their bases three.

In which there shall be for one side hangings of fifteen cubits, and three pillars and as many sockets.

15 And on the other wing hangings of fifteen [cubits]; their pillars three, and their bases three.

And in the other side there shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with three pillars and as many sockets.

16 — And for the gate of the court a curtain of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, embroidered with needlework; their pillars four, and their bases four.

And in the entrance of the court there shall be made a hanging of twenty cubits of violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, with embroidered work: it shall have four pillars with as many sockets.

17 All the pillars of the court round about shall be fastened together with [rods of] silver; their hooks of silver, and their bases of copper.

All the pillars of the court round about shall be garnished with plates of silver, silver heads and sockets of brass.

18 The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty everywhere, and the height five cubits of twined byssus; and their bases of copper.

In length the court shall take up a hundred cubits, in breadth fifty, the height shall be of five cubits, and it shall be made of fine twisted linen, and shall have sockets of brass.

19 All the utensils of the tabernacle for the service thereof and all the pegs thereof, and all the pegs of the court shall be of copper.

All the vessels of the tabernacle for all uses and ceremonies, and the pins both of it, and of the court, thou shalt make of brass.

20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee olive oil, pure, beaten, for the light, to light the lamp continually.

Command the children of Israel that they bring thee the purest oil of the olives, and beaten with a pestle: that a lamp may burn always,

21 In the tent of meeting outside the veil, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall dress them from evening to morning before Jehovah: [it is] an everlasting statute, for their generations, on the part of the children of Israel.

In the tabernacle of the testimony without the veil that hangs before the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall order it, that it may give light before the Lord until the morning. It shall be a perpetual observance throughout their successions among the children of Israel.
