Exodus Chapter 27

¹Make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits wide. The altar will be square. Its height will be three cubits. ²Make its horns on its four corners. Its horns are to be of one piece with it. Overlay it with bronze. ³Make the pots to take away its ashes; and its shovels, basins, flesh hooks, and its fire pans. Make all its vessels of bronze. ⁴Make a grating for it of network of bronze. On the net make four bronze rings in its four corners. ⁵Put it under the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar. ⁶Make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. ⁷Put its poles into the rings. The poles are to be on the two sides of the altar when carrying it. ⁸Make it hollow with planks. Let them make it as it has been shown you on the mountain.

⁹Make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there are to be hangings for the court of fine twined linen one hundred cubits long for one side. ¹⁰It will have twenty pillars, and twenty sockets of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their fillets are to be of silver. ¹¹Likewise for the length of the north side, there are to be hangings one hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars, and their twenty sockets, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver. ¹²For the width of the court on the west side are to be hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. ¹³The court on the east side eastward is to be fifty cubits wide. ¹⁴The hangings for the one side of the gate are to be fifteen cubits long with three pillars, and three sockets. ¹⁵For the other side there'll be fifteen cubit long hangings with three pillars, and three sockets. ¹⁶For the gate of the court will be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, and their sockets four. ¹⁷All the pillars of the court around are to be filleted with silver, with silver hooks and bronze sockets. ¹⁸The court is to be one hundred cubits long, fifty wide throughout and five cubits high, [made] of fine twined linen, with bronze sockets. ¹⁹All the instruments of the tabernacle in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, are to be of bronze.

²⁰Command the children of Israel to bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually. ²¹In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons must keep it in order from evening to morning in Yahweh's presence: it will be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
