Exodus, 27

¹ “And you must make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits its length and five cubits its width. The altar should be foursquare, and its height three cubits.

² And you must make its horns upon its four corners. Its horns will proceed out of it, and you must overlay it with copper.

³ And you must make its cans for clearing away its fatty ashes,^*1 and its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire holders; and you will make all its utensils^*2 of copper.

⁴ And you must make a grating for it, a network of copper; and you must make upon the net four rings of copper at its four extremities.

⁵ And you must put it under the altar’s rim down within, and the net must be toward the center of the altar.

⁶ And you must make poles for the altar, its poles being of acacia wood, and you must overlay them with copper.

⁷ And its poles must be put into the rings, and the poles must be upon the two sides of the altar when carrying it.

⁸ A hollow chest of planks you will make it. Just as he showed you^*1 in the mountain, so they will make it.

⁹ “And you must make the courtyard of the tabernacle. For the side toward the Negʹeb, to the south, the courtyard has hangings of fine twisted linen, a hundred cubits being the length for the one side.

¹⁰ And its twenty pillars and their twenty socket pedestals are of copper. The pegs of the pillars and their joints^*1 are of silver.

¹¹ So, too, it is for the north side in length, the hangings being for a hundred cubits of length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty socket pedestals being of copper, the pegs of the pillars and their joints being of silver.

¹² As for the width of the courtyard, on the west side the hangings are of fifty cubits, their pillars being ten and their socket pedestals ten.

¹³ And the width of the courtyard on the east side toward the sunrising is fifty cubits.

¹⁴ And there are fifteen cubits of hangings to one side,^*1 their pillars being three and their socket pedestals three.

¹⁵ And for the other side there are fifteen cubits of hangings, their pillars being three and their socket pedestals three.

¹⁶ “And for the gate of the courtyard there is a screen twenty cubits long, of blue thread and wool dyed reddish purple and coccus scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver, their pillars being four and their socket pedestals four.

¹⁷ All the pillars of the courtyard round about have fastenings of silver, and their pegs are of silver but their socket pedestals of copper.

¹⁸ The length of the courtyard is a hundred cubits, and the width fifty cubits,^*1 and the height five cubits, of fine twisted linen, and their socket pedestals being of copper.

¹⁹ And all the utensils^*1 of the tabernacle in all its service, and all its tent pins, and all the pins of the courtyard are of copper.

²⁰ “As for you, you are to command the sons of Israel that they get for you pure, beaten olive oil for the luminary, in order to light up the lamps constantly.

²¹ In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that is by the Testimony, Aaron and his sons will set it in order from evening till morning before Jehovah. It is a statute to time indefinite for their generations, to be performed by the sons of Israel.
