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.

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

And there shall be horns at the four corners of the same: and thou shalt cover it 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 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 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 a grate of brass in manner of a net: at the four corners of which shall be four rings of brass,

5 and have put it under the rim of the altar beneath, and the net has been up to the 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 you have made poles for the altar, poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] bronze.

Thou shalt make also two bars for the altar of setim wood, which thou shalt cover with plates of 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 thou shalt draw them through rings, and they shall be on both 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].

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

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,

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

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

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

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

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

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

15 And at the second side [are] hangings of fifteen [cubits], their pillars three, and their sockets 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 [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 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 all around [are] filleted [with] silver, their pegs [are] silver, and their sockets bronze.

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 [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;

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 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 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 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.

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, 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 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.
