1“And you shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits wide; the altar shall be foursquare (7 feet 6 inches by 7 feet 6 inches); and its height shall be three cubits (4 feet 6 inches high). 2And you shall make four identical horns, one on each corner; and you shall overlay them with bronze. 3And you shall make the pans to receive the ashes, and the shovels, the basins, the fleshhooks, and the firepans. All these utensils shall be of bronze. 4And you shall make a grate for it of bronze network; and make four bronze rings for in the four corners of the grate. 5And put it under the ledge of the altar, so that the grate network is halfway down the side of the altar. 6And make staves of acacia wood for the altar, overlayed with bronze. 7And the staves shall be inserted into the rings, with a stave on each side of the altar, to carry it. 8Make the altar hollow, out of boards; as it was shown to you on the mount. 9“And make a court for the tabernacle. The south side shall be a hundred cubits (150 feet) long with hangings for the court of finely woven linen. 10With twenty pillars and their twenty bases of bronze; with silver hooks and bands on the pillars. 11And the same for the north side: in length there shall be hangings of a hundred cubits long, with its twenty pillars and their twenty bronze bases, with silver hooks and bands on its pillars. 12And for the width of the courtyards on the west and east sides shall be the same, with hanging curtains fifty cubits (75 feet) long, with ten pillars, and ten sockets. 13The court on the east side eastward shall be the same size. 14The hangings of one side of the entrance shall be fifteen cubits (22 feet 6 inches), with three pillars, and three bases. 15And the hangings on the other side shall be the same. 16And for the entrance of the court there shall be a hanging of twenty cubits (30 feet), of blue, purple, and scarlet, and finely woven linen, embroidered with needlework: and the pillars of the entrance shall be four, with four bases. 17All the pillars around the court shall be banded with silver; with silver hooks; and their bases of bronze. 18The length of the courtyard shall be a hundred cubits (150 feet), and fifty cubits (75 feet) wide, and the height five cubits (7 feet 6 inches) of finely woven linen, and their sockets of bronze. 19All the other articles used for the service of the tabernacle, and all its tent pegs, shall be of bronze. 20“Command the Israelites to bring you pure beaten olive oil for the lamp, so that the lamp may be kept burning always. 21Within the tabernacle of meeting, but outside of the veil, which is before the Ark the Covenant, Aaron and his sons shall keep the lamp burning from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the Israelites.
