Exodus 27

1 “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.

And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

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

Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

3 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.

And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

4 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,

And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

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

And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

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

And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

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

And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

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

The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

9 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,

And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

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

Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases are to be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their bands are to be of silver.

11 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.

And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

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

And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

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

And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide.

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

On the one side of the doorway will be hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases;

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

And on the other side, hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.

16 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.

And across the doorway, a veil of twenty cubits of the best linen, made of needlework of blue and purple and red, with four pillars and four bases.

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

All the pillars round the open space are to have silver bands, with hooks of silver and bases of brass.

18 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;

The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.

19 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.

All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

20 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.

Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

21 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.”

Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.
