Exodus 27
1 Facies et altare de lignis setim, quod habebit quinque cubitus in longitudine, et totidem in latitudine, id est, quadrum, et tres cubitos in altitudine.
You must make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide. The altar must be square and three cubits high.
2 Cornua autem per quatuor angulos ex ipso erunt: et operies illud ære.
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.
3 Faciesque in usus ejus lebetes ad suscipiendos cineres, et forcipes atque fuscinulas, et ignium receptacula; omnia vasa ex ære fabricabis.
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.
4 Craticulamque in modum retis æneam: per cujus quatuor angulos erunt quatuor annuli ænei.
You must make a grate for the altar, a network of bronze. Make a bronze ring for each of the grate's four corners.
5 Quos pones subter arulam altaris: eritque craticula usque ad altaris medium.
You must put the grate under the ledge of the altar, halfway down to the bottom.
6 Facies et vectes altaris de lignis setim duos, quos operies laminis æneis:
You must make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and you must cover them with bronze.
7 et induces per circulos, eruntque ex utroque latere altaris ad portandum.
The poles must be put into the rings, and the poles must be on the two sides of the altar, to carry it.
8 Non solidum, sed inane et cavum intrinsecus facies illud, sicut tibi in monte monstratum est.
You must make the altar hollow, out of planks. You must make it in the way you were shown on the mountain.
9 Facies et atrium tabernaculi, in cujus australi plaga contra meridiem erunt tentoria de bysso retorta: centum cubitos unum latus tenebit in longitudine.
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.
10 Et columnas viginti cum basibus totidem æneis, quæ capita cum cælaturis suis habebunt argentea.
The hangings must have twenty posts, with twenty bronze bases. There must also be hooks attached to the posts, as well as silver rods.
11 Similiter et in latere aquilonis per longum erunt tentoria centum cubitorum, columnæ viginti, et bases æneæ ejusdem numeri, et capita earum cum cælaturis suis argentea.
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.
12 In latitudine vero atrii, quod respicit ad occidentem, erunt tentoria per quinquaginta cubitos, et columnæ decem, basesque totidem.
Along the courtyard on the west side there must be a curtain fifty cubits long. There must be ten posts and ten bases.
13 In ea quoque atrii latitudine, quæ respicit ad orientem, quinquaginta cubiti erunt.
The courtyard must also be fifty cubits long on the east side.
14 In quibus quindecim cubitorum tentoria lateri uno deputabuntur, columnæque tres et bases totidem:
The hangings for one side of the entrance must be fifteen cubits long. They must have three posts with three bases.
15 et in latere altero erunt tentoria cubitos obtinentia quindecim, columnæ tres, et bases totidem.
The other side must also have hangings fifteen cubits long. They must have their three posts and three bases.
16 In introitu vero atrii fiet tentorium cubitorum viginti ex hyacintho et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere plumarii: columnas habebit quatuor, cum basibus totidem.
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.
17 Omnes columnæ atrii per circuitum vestitæ erunt argenteis laminis, capitibus argenteis, et basibus æneis.
All the courtyard posts must have silver rods, silver hooks, and bronze bases.
18 In longitudine occupabit atrium cubitos centum, in latitudine quinquaginta, altitudo quinque cubitorum erit: fietque de bysso retorta, et habebit bases æneas.
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.
19 Cuncta vasa tabernaculi in omnes usus et cæremonias, tam paxillos ejus quam atrii, ex ære facies.
All the equipment to be used in the tabernacle, and all the tent pegs for the tabernacle and courtyard must be made of bronze.
20 Præcipe filiis Israël ut afferant tibi oleum de arboribus olivarum purissimum, piloque contusum, ut ardeat lucerna semper
You must command the people of Israel to bring olive oil, pure and pressed, for the lamps so they may burn continually.
21 in tabernaculo testimonii, extra velum quod oppansum est testimonio. Et collocabunt eam Aaron et filii ejus, ut usque mane luceat coram Domino. Perpetuus erit cultus per successiones eorum a filiis Israël.
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.
