Exodus 27

1 And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

And thou shalt make an altar [of] shittim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and its hight [shall be] three cubits.

2 Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: its horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with brass.

3 And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

And thou shalt make its pans to receive its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its flesh-hooks, and its fire-pans: all its vessels thou shalt make [of] brass.

4 And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

And thou shalt make for it a grate of net-work of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brazen rings in its four corners.

5 And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

6 And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

And thou shalt make staffs for the altar, staffs [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.

7 And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

And the staffs shall be put into the rings, and the staffs shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.

8 The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shown thee on the mount, so shall they make [it].

9 And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward [there shall be] hangings for the court [of] fine twined linen of a hundred cubits long for one side:

10 Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases are to be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their bands are to be of silver.

And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [shall be of] brass: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [shall be of] silver.

11 And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

And likewise for the north side in length [there shall be] hangings of a hundred [cubits] long, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [of] brass: the hooks of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver.

12 And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

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

13 And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide.

And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward [shall be] fifty cubits.

14 On the one side of the doorway will be hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases;

The hangings of one side [of the gate shall be] fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

15 And on the other side, hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.

And on the other side [shall be] hangings, fifteen [cubits]: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

16 And across the doorway, a veil of twenty cubits of the best linen, made of needlework of blue and purple and red, with four pillars and four bases.

And for the gate of the court [shall be] a hanging of twenty cubits, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needle-work: [and] their pillars [shall be] four, and their sockets four.

17 All the pillars round the open space are to have silver bands, with hooks of silver and bases of brass.

All the pillars around the court [shall be] filleted with silver: their hooks [shall be of] silver, and their sockets [of] brass.

18 The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.

The length of the court [shall be] a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the hight five cubits [of] fine twined linen, and their sockets [of] brass.

19 All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, [shall be of] brass.

20 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.

And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring the pure olive-oil beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.

21 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.

In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which [is] before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: [It shall be] a statute for ever to their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
