Exodus 27
1 Facies et altare de lignis setim, quod habebit quinque cubitus in longitudine, et totidem in latitudine, idest quadrum, et tres cubitos in altitudine.
Make an altar of acacia wood. It is to be square and measure five cubits long by five cubits wide by three cubits high.
2 Cornua autem per quattuor angulos ex ipso erunt: et operies illud aere.
Make horns for each of its corners, all one piece with the altar, and cover the whole altar with bronze.
3 Faciesque in usus eius lebetes ad suscipiendos cineres, et forcipes atque fuscinulas, et ignium receptacula. omnia vasa ex aere fabricabis.
Make all its utensils of bronze: buckets for removing ashes, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.
4 Craticulamque in modum retis aeneam: per cuius quattuor angulos erunt quattuor annuli aenei,
Make a bronze mesh grate for it with a bronze ring on each of its corners.
5 quos pones subter arulam altaris: eritque craticula usque ad altaris medium.
Put the grate under the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway down the altar.
6 Facies et vectes altaris de lignis setim duos, quos operies laminis aeneis:
Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and cover them with bronze.
7 et induces per circulos, eruntque ex utroque latere altaris ad portandum.
The poles are to be placed in the rings so that the poles are on either side of the altar when it is carried.
8 Non solidum, sed inane et cavum intrinsecus facies illud, sicut tibi in Monte monstratum est.
Make the altar hollow, using boards, just as you were shown on the mountain.
9 Facies et atrium tabernaculi, in cuius australi plaga contra meridiem erunt tentoria de bysso retorta: centum cubitos unum latus tenebit in longitudine.
Make a courtyard for the Tabernacle. For the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely-spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,
10 Et columnas viginti cum basibus totidem aeneis, quae capita cum caelaturis suis habebunt argentea.
with twenty posts and twenty bronze stands, with silver hooks and bands on the posts.
11 Similiter et in latere aquilonis per longum erunt tentoria centum cubitorum, columnae viginti, et bases aeneae eiusdem numeri, et capita earum cum caelaturis suis argentea.
Similarly there are to be curtains placed on the north side in an identical arrangement.
12 In latitudine vero atrii, quod respicit ad occidentem, erunt tentoria per quinquaginta cubitos, et columnae decem, basesque totidem.
The curtains for the west side of the courtyard are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten stands.
13 In ea quoque atrii latitudine, quae respicit ad orientem, quinquaginta cubiti erunt.
The east side of the courtyard that faces the sunrise is to be fifty cubits wide.
14 in quibus quindecim cubitorum tentoria lateri uno deputabuntur, columnaeque tres et bases totidem:
Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three stands,
15 et in latere altero erunt tentoria cubitos obtinentia quindecim, columnae tres, et bases totidem.
and the curtains on the other side just the same.
16 In introitu vero atrii fiet tentorium cubitorum viginti ex hyacintho et purpura, coccoque bis tincto, et bysso retorta, opere plumarii: columnas habebit quattuor, cum basibus totidem.
The entrance to the courtyard is to be twenty cubits wide, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen, held up by four posts and four stands.
17 Omnes columnae atrii per circuitum vestitae erunt argenteis laminis, capitibus argenteis, et basibus aeneis.
All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze stands.
18 In longitudine occupabit atrium cubitos centum, in latitudine quinquaginta, altitudo quinque cubitorum erit. fietque de bysso retorta, et habebit bases aeneas.
The whole courtyard is to be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains made of finely-spun linen five cubits high, and with bronze stands.
19 Cuncta vasa tabernaculi in omnes usus et ceremonias, tam paxillos eius quam atrii, ex aere facies.
All the rest of the equipment used in the Tabernacle, including its tent pegs and those for the courtyard, are to be made of bronze.
20 Praecipe filiis Israel ut afferant tibi oleum de arboribus olivarum purissimum, piloque contusum: ut ardeat lucerna semper
You are to order the Israelites to bring you pure, hand-pressed olive oil for the lamps so they can go on burning, giving light.
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.
In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning in the Lord's presence from evening until morning. This requirement is to be observed by the Israelites for all generations.
