Exodus 27

1 Make an altar of acacia wood. It is to be square and measure five cubits long by five cubits wide by three cubits high.

“And you have made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth—the altar is square—and three cubits [is] its height.

2 Make horns for each of its corners, all one piece with the altar, and cover the whole altar with bronze.

And you have made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and you have overlaid it [with] bronze.

3 Make all its utensils of bronze: buckets for removing ashes, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.

And you have made its pots to remove its ashes, and its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire-pans, even all its vessels you make of bronze.

4 Make a bronze mesh grate for it with a bronze ring on each of its corners.

And you have made a grate of network of bronze for it, and have made four rings of bronze on the net on its four extremities,

5 Put the grate under the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway down the altar.

and have put it under the rim of the altar beneath, and the net has been up to the middle of the altar.

6 Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and cover them with bronze.

And you have made poles for the altar, poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] bronze.

7 The poles are to be placed in the rings so that the poles are on either side of the altar when it is carried.

And the poles have been brought into the rings, and the poles have been on the two sides of the altar in carrying it.

8 Make the altar hollow, using boards, just as you were shown on the mountain.

You make it hollow [with] boards; as it has been showed [to] you on the mountain, so do they make [it].

9 Make a courtyard for the Tabernacle. For the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely-spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,

And you have made the court of the Dwelling Place: for the south side southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, the length of the first side [is] one hundred by the cubit,

10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze stands, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of bronze, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver;

11 Similarly there are to be curtains placed on the north side in an identical arrangement.

and so for the north side in length, hangings of one hundred [cubits] in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of bronze, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver.

12 The curtains for the west side of the courtyard are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten stands.

And [for] the breadth of the court at the west side [are] hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

13 The east side of the courtyard that faces the sunrise is to be fifty cubits wide.

And the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, [is] fifty cubits.

14 Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three stands,

And the hangings at the side [are] fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.

15 and the curtains on the other side just the same.

And at the second side [are] hangings of fifteen [cubits], their pillars three, and their sockets three.

16 The entrance to the courtyard is to be twenty cubits wide, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen, held up by four posts and four stands.

And for the gate of the court [is] a covering of twenty cubits of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, the work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets four.

17 All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze stands.

All the pillars of the court all around [are] filleted [with] silver, their pegs [are] silver, and their sockets bronze.

18 The whole courtyard is to be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains made of finely-spun linen five cubits high, and with bronze stands.

The length of the court [is] one hundred by the cubit, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twined linen, and their sockets [are] bronze;

19 All the rest of the equipment used in the Tabernacle, including its tent pegs and those for the courtyard, are to be made of bronze.

for all the vessels of the Dwelling Place, in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, [are] bronze.

20 You are to order the Israelites to bring you pure, hand-pressed olive oil for the lamps so they can go on burning, giving light.

And you command the sons of Israel, and they bring pure oil of beaten olive to you for the light, to cause the lamp to go up continually.

21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning in the Lord's presence from evening until morning. This requirement is to be observed by the Israelites for all generations.

In the Tent of Meeting, at the outside of the veil, which [is] over the Testimony, Aaron—his sons also—arrange it from evening until morning before YHWH. [It is] a continuous statute for their generations, from the sons of Israel.”
