1 “You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and
five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and its height shall be
three cubits. 2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns
shall be of one piece with it; and you shall overlay it with brass. 3 You
shall make its pots to take away its ashes, its shovels, its basins, its
flesh hooks, and its fire pans: all its vessels you shall make of brass.
4 You shall make a grating for it of network of brass: and on the net you
shall make four brazen rings in its four corners. 5 You shall put it under
the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the
altar. 6 You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and
overlay them with brass. 7 Its poles shall be put into the rings, and the
poles shall be on the two sides of the altar, when carrying it. 8 Hollow
with planks shall you make it: as it has been shown you on the mountain, so
shall they make it.
9 “You shall make the court of the tent: for the south side southward
there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen one hundred cubits
long for one side: 10 and the pillars of it shall be twenty, and their
sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be
of silver. 11 Likewise for the north side in length there shall be
hangings one hundred cubits long, and the pillars of it twenty, and their
sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of
silver. 12 For the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings
of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. 13 The breadth
of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits. 14 The
hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits; their pillars
three, and their sockets three. 15 For the other side shall be hangings of
fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16 For the
gate of the court shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple,
and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer; their
pillars four, and their sockets four. 17 All the pillars of the court
round about shall be filleted with silver; their hooks of silver, and their
sockets of brass. 18 The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits,
and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits, of fine twined
linen, and their sockets of brass. 19 All the instruments of the tent in
all its service, and all the pins of it, and all the pins of the court, shall
be of brass.
20 “You shall command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure
olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. 21 In
the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron
and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh: it
shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the
children of Israel.
