Exodus 27

1 You must make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide. The altar must be square and three cubits high.

And thou shalt make the altar of shittim wood: five cubits long, and five cubits broad, a foursquare shall the altar be, and three cubits shall be its height.

2 You must make extensions of its four corners shaped like ox horns. The horns will be made as one piece with the altar, and you must cover them with bronze.

And thou shalt make its horns on its four corners, from itself shall its horns be; and thou shalt overlay it with copper.

3 You must make equipment for the altar: pots for ashes, and also shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans. You must make all these utensils with bronze.

And thou shalt make its pots to receive its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its forks, and its fire-pans; all its vessels thou shalt make of copper.

4 You must make a grate for the altar, a network of bronze. Make a bronze ring for each of the grate's four corners.

And thou shalt make for it a grating, of a network of copper; and thou shalt make upon the net four rings of copper, on its four corners.

5 You must put the grate under the ledge of the altar, halfway down to the bottom.

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net shall reach even to the half of the altar.

6 You must make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and you must cover them with bronze.

And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with copper.

7 The poles must be put into the rings, and the poles must be on the two sides of the altar, to carry it.

And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, when they bear it.

8 You must make the altar hollow, out of planks. You must make it in the way you were shown on the mountain.

Hollow, of boards, shalt thou make it; as it was shown to thee on the mount, so shall they make it.

9 You must make a courtyard for the tabernacle. There must be hangings on the south side of the courtyard, hangings of fine twined linen one hundred cubits long.

And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side, on the right, the hangings for the court, of twisted linen, shall be a hundred cubits in length, for the one side.

10 The hangings must have twenty posts, with twenty bronze bases. There must also be hooks attached to the posts, as well as silver rods.

And its pillars shall be twenty, with their twenty sockets of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

11 Likewise along the north side, there must be hangings one hundred cubits long with twenty posts, twenty bronze bases, hooks attached to the posts, and silver rods.

And likewise for the north side in the length there shall be hangings one hundred cubits in length, and its pillars twenty with their twenty sockets of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

12 Along the courtyard on the west side there must be a curtain fifty cubits long. There must be ten posts and ten bases.

And [for] the breadth of the court on the west side shall be fifty cubits of hangings; their pillars shall be ten, and their sockets ten.

13 The courtyard must also be fifty cubits long on the east side.

And the breadth of the court on the front side, eastward, shall be fifty cubits.

14 The hangings for one side of the entrance must be fifteen cubits long. They must have three posts with three bases.

And fifteen cubits of hangings shall be on the one wing; their pillars shall be three and their sockets three.

15 The other side must also have hangings fifteen cubits long. They must have their three posts and three bases.

And on the other wing shall be fifteen cubits of hangings; their pillars shall be three, and their sockets three.

16 The courtyard gate must be a curtain twenty cubits long. The curtain must be made of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer. It must have four posts with four bases.

And for the gate of the court shall be a hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen, the work of the embroiderer; with four pillars for the same, and their four sockets.

17 All the courtyard posts must have silver rods, silver hooks, and bronze bases.

All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver and their sockets of copper.

18 The length of the courtyard must be one hundred cubits, the width fifty cubits, and the height five cubits with fine twined linen hangings all along, and bases of bronze.

The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twisted linen, and the sockets for the same of copper.

19 All the equipment to be used in the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and courtyard must be made of bronze.

All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, shall be of copper.

20 You must command the people of Israel to bring olive oil, pure and pressed, for the lamps so they may burn continually.

And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure olive oil, beaten out, for the lighting, to cause a light to burn always.

21 In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that is in front of the tabernacle that contains the ark of testimony, Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning before Yahweh, from evening to morning. This requirement will be a lasting ordinance throughout the generations of the people of Israel.

In the tabernacle of the congregation, without the vail, which is before the testimony, shall Aaron with his sons arrange it [for] from the evening to the morning, before the Lord; as a statute for ever unto their generations, on behalf of the children of Israel.
