Exodus 27

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

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 upon its four corners, of the same, shall be its horns, —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 pans for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its sprinkling bowls, and its flesh-hooks and its fire-pans, —all its vessels, shalt thou 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 thou shalt make to it a grating, a network of bronze, —and thou shalt make upon the network, four rings of bronze, upon the four corners thereof.

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 place it under the margin of the altar beneath, —so shall the network reach unto the midst 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 shalt 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 the staves shall be brought into the rings, —so shall the staves be on the two sides of the altar in lifting it:

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 was showed thee in the mount, 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 habitation, —on the south side southward, hangings for the court of fine-twined linen, a hundred cubits in length to 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 pillars thereof twenty, with their sockets twenty, of bronze, —and the hooks of the pillars and their cross-rods 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 a hundred cubits, —and the pillars thereof twenty, and their sockets twenty. of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their cross-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 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 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 and fifteen cubits the hangings for the side-piece, —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, for the second side-piece, fifteen hangings, —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, a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of an embroiderer, —their pillars four, and 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 round about, to be joined with cross-rods of silver, and their hooks of silver, —and their sockets of 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, a hundred cubits and the breadth fifty throughout and the height five cubits of fine-twined linen, —and their sockets, of 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 All the utensils of the habitation, throughout all the service thereof, —and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, of 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 Thou thyself, therefore, shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring unto thee—pure, beaten olive-oil, for giving light, —that the lamp may lift up its flame 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 by the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it from evening until morning, before Yahweh, —a statute age-abiding, to 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.
