< 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 you shall make an altar of incorruptible wood, of five cubits in the length, and five cubits in the breadth; the altar shall be square, and the height of it shall be of three cubits.
2 And you have made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and you have overlaid it [with] bronze.
And you shall make the horns on the four corners; the horns shall be of the same piece, and you shall overlay them 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 you shall make a rim for the altar; and its covering and its cups, and its flesh hooks, and its fire-pan, and all its vessels shall you make 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 you shall make for it a brazen grate with network; and you shall make for the grate four brazen rings under the four sides.
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 you shall put them below under the grate of the altar, and the grate shall extend to the middle of the altar.
6 And you have made poles for the altar, poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] bronze.
And you shall make for the altar staves of incorruptible wood, and you shall overlay them 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 you shall put the staves into the rings; and let the staves be on the sides of the altar to carry it.
8 You make it hollow [with] boards; as it has been showed [to] you on the mountain, so do they make [it].
You shall make it hollow with boards: according to what was showed you in the mount, so you shall make it.
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 you shall make a court for the tabernacle, curtains of the court of fine linen spun on the south side, the length of a hundred cubits for one side.
10 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of bronze, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver;
And their pillars twenty, and twenty brazen sockets for them, and their rings and their clasps 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.
Thus [shall there be] to the side towards the north curtains of a hundred cubits in length; and their pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty of brass, and the rings and the clasps of the pillars, and their sockets overlaid with 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 in the breadth of the tabernacle towards the west curtains of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten.
13 And the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, [is] fifty cubits.
And in the breadth of the tabernacle towards the south, curtains of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
14 And the hangings at the side [are] fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three.
And the height of the curtains [shall be] of fifty cubits for the one side [of the gate]; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 And at the second side [are] hangings of fifteen [cubits], their pillars three, and their sockets three.
And [for] the second side the height of the curtains [shall be] of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
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 a veil for the door of the court, the height [of it] of twenty cubits of blue linen, and of purple, and spun scarlet, and of fine linen spun with the are of the embroiderer; their pillars four, and their sockets four.
17 All the pillars of the court all around [are] filleted [with] silver, their pegs [are] silver, and their sockets bronze.
All the pillars of the court round about overlaid with silver, and their chapiters silver and their brass sockets.
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;
And the length of the court [shall be] a hundred [cubits] on each side, and the breadth fifty on each side, and the height five cubits of fine linen spun, and their sockets 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.
And all the furniture and all the instruments and the pins of the court [shall 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.
And do you charge the children of Israel, and let them take for you refined pure olive-oil beaten to burn for light, that a lamp may burn continually
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.”
in the tabernacle of the testimony, without the veil that is before the [ark of the] covenant, shall Aaron and his sons burn it from evening until morning, before the Lord: it is a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations of the children of Israel.
