¹ AND you shall make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare; and the height thereof three cubits.² And you shall make the horns of it on the four corners thereof; its horns shall be of the same; and you shall overlay it with brass.³ And you shall make pots for the use thereof; and its cauldrons and its shovels and its fleshhooks and censers, all the vessels thereof you shall make of brass.⁴ You shall make for it a grating of network of brass; and upon the grating you shall make four rings of brass at its four corners.⁵ And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar, that the grate may reach to the midst of the altar.⁶ And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.⁷ And the poles shall be put into the rings, and they shall be on both sides of the altar, when they carry it.⁸ Hollow with boards shall you make it; as I have shown you on the mountain, so shall they make it.

⁹ And you shall make the court of the tabernacle; on the south side, there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side;¹⁰ And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.¹¹ And likewise for the north side there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.¹² And for the breadth of the court on the west side there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten.¹³ And the breadth of the court on the east side shall be fifty cubits.¹⁴ The hangings for one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three.¹⁵ And on the other side shall be fifteen hangings, their pillars three and their sockets three.¹⁶ And for the gate of the court there shall be a hanging of twenty cubits of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twined linen made of embroidered work; and their pillars shall be four and their sockets four.¹⁷ All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver and their sockets of brass.¹⁸ The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, the breadth fifty everywhere, and the height five cubits of fine twined linen and their sockets of brass.¹⁹ All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof and all the pins thereof and all the tent-pins of the court shall be of brass.

²⁰ And you shall command the children of Israel that they bring you pure olive oil from beaten olives for the light, so that the lamps may burn always.²¹ In the tabernacle of the congregation outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall set them in order burning from evening to morning before the LORD; it shall be a statute for ever to your generations from the children of Israel.
