And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.
2 Cornua autem per quattuor angulos ex ipso erunt: et operies illud aere.
Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.
3 Faciesque in usus eius lebetes ad suscipiendos cineres, et forcipes atque fuscinulas, et ignium receptacula. omnia vasa ex aere fabricabis.

And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.
5 quos pones subter arulam altaris: eritque craticula usque ad altaris medium.
And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.
6 Facies et vectes altaris de lignis setim duos, quos operies laminis aeneis:

7 et induces per circulos, eruntque ex utroque latere altaris ad portandum.
And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.
8 Non solidum, sed inane et cavum intrinsecus facies illud, sicut tibi in Monte monstratum est.
The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

20 Praecipe filiis Israel ut afferant tibi oleum de arboribus olivarum purissimum, piloque contusum: ut ardeat lucerna semper
Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.
21 in tabernaculo testimonii, extra velum quod oppansum est testimonio. Et collocabunt eam Aaron et filii eius, ut usque mane luceat coram Domino. Perpetuus erit cultus per successiones eorum coram filiis Israel.
Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.
