| New Living Translation | English Standard Version |
| 1“Using acacia wood, construct a square altar 7 1/2 feet wide, 7 1/2 feet long, and 4 1/2 feet high. | 1“You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad. The altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. |
| 2Make horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar are all one piece. Overlay the altar with bronze. | 2And you shall make horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze. |
| 3Make ash buckets, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans, all of bronze. | 3You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and forks and fire pans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze. |
| 4Make a bronze grating for it, and attach four bronze rings at its four corners. | 4You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. |
| 5Install the grating halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge. | 5And you shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net extends halfway down the altar. |
| 6For carrying the altar, make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. | 6And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. |
| 7Insert the poles through the rings on the two sides of the altar. | 7And the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. |
| 8The altar must be hollow, made from planks. Build it just as you were shown on the mountain. Plans for the Courtyard | 8You shall make it hollow, with boards. As it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made. |
| 9“Then make the courtyard for the Tabernacle, enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side, make the curtains 150 feet long. | 9“You shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have hangings of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side. |
| 10They will be held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. Hang the curtains with silver hooks and rings. | 10Its twenty pillars and their twenty bases shall be of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. |
| 11Make the curtains the same on the north side—150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts set securely in bronze bases. Hang the curtains with silver hooks and rings. | 11And likewise for its length on the north side there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, its pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. |
| 12The curtains on the west end of the courtyard will be 75 feet long, supported by ten posts set into ten bases. | 12And for the breadth of the court on the west side there shall be hangings for fifty cubits, with ten pillars and ten bases. |
| 13The east end of the courtyard, the front, will also be 75 feet long. | 13The breadth of the court on the front to the east shall be fifty cubits. |
| 14The courtyard entrance will be on the east end, flanked by two curtains. The curtain on the right side will be 22 1/2 feet long, supported by three posts set into three bases. | 14The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases. |
| 15The curtain on the left side will also be 22 1/2 feet long, supported by three posts set into three bases. | 15On the other side the hangings shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases. |
| 16“For the entrance to the courtyard, make a curtain that is 30 feet long. Make it from finely woven linen, and decorate it with beautiful embroidery in blue, purple, and scarlet thread. Support it with four posts, each securely set in its own base. | 16For the gate of the court there shall be a screen twenty cubits long, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework. It shall have four pillars and with them four bases. |
| 17All the posts around the courtyard must have silver rings and hooks and bronze bases. | 17All the pillars around the court shall be filleted with silver. Their hooks shall be of silver, and their bases of bronze. |
| 18So the entire courtyard will be 150 feet long and 75 feet wide, with curtain walls 7 1/2 feet high, made from finely woven linen. The bases for the posts will be made of bronze. | 18The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, the breadth fifty, and the height five cubits, with hangings of fine twined linen and bases of bronze. |
| 19“All the articles used in the rituals of the Tabernacle, including all the tent pegs used to support the Tabernacle and the courtyard curtains, must be made of bronze. Light for the Tabernacle | 19All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, and all its pegs and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze. |
| 20“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually. | 20“You shall command the people of Israel that they bring to you pure beaten olive oil for the light, that a lamp may regularly be set up to burn. |
| 21The lampstand will stand in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the LORD’s presence all night. This is a permanent law for the people of Israel, and it must be observed from generation to generation. | 21In the tent of meeting, outside the veil that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the LORD. It shall be a statute forever to be observed throughout their generations by the people of Israel. |
