“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. And 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. You 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. You 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. And you shall set it under the
ledge of the altar so that the net extends halfway down the altar.
And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and
overlay them with bronze. And the poles shall be put through the
rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it
is carried. You shall make it hollow, with boards. As it has been
shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made.
“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. Its twenty pillars and their twenty bases shall
be of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall
be of silver. And 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. And for the breadth of the court
on the west side there shall be hangings for fifty cubits, with ten
pillars and ten bases. The breadth of the court on the front to the
east shall be fifty cubits. The hangings for the one side of the
gate shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three
bases. On the other side the hangings shall be fifteen cubits, with
their three pillars and three bases. For 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. All the
pillars around the court shall be filleted with silver. Their hooks
shall be of silver, and their bases of bronze. The 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. All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, and all
its pegs and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.
“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. In 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.
