¹ And thou shalt make the altar of acacia wood, - of five cubits length and five cubits breadth four square, shall the altar be, and three cubits the height thereof.² And thou shalt make its horns upon its four corners, of the same, shall be its horns, - and thou shalt overlay it with copper.³ And thou shalt make its pans for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its sprinkling bowls, and its flesh-hooks and its fire-pans, - all its vessels, shalt thou make of bronze.⁴ And thou shalt make to it a grating, a network of bronze, - and thou shalt make upon the network, four rings of bronze, upon the four corners thereof.⁵ And thou shalt place it under the margin of the altar beneath, - so shall the network reach unto the midst of the altar.⁶ And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of acacia wood, - and shalt overlay them with copper.⁷ And the staves shall be brought into the rings, - so shall the staves be on the two sides of the altar in lifting it:⁸ Hollow with boards, shalt thou make it, - as it was showed thee in the mount, so, shall they make it.

⁹ And thou shalt make the court of the habitation, - on the south side southward, hangings for the court of fine-twined linen, a hundred cubits in length to the one side;¹⁰ and the pillars thereof twenty, with their sockets twenty, of bronze, - and the hooks of the pillars and their cross-rods of silver.¹¹ And, so, for the north side in length, hangings a hundred cubits, - and the pillars thereof twenty, and their sockets twenty. of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their cross-rods of silver.¹² And, the breadth of the court on the west side, hangings fifty cubits, - their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.¹³ And, the breadth of the court on the east side eastward, fifty cubits;¹⁴ and fifteen cubits the hangings for the side-piece, - their pillars three, and their sockets three;¹⁵ and, for the second side-piece, fifteen hangings, - their pillars three, and their sockets three,¹⁶ And for the gate of the court, a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of an embroiderer, - their pillars four, and their sockets four.¹⁷ All the pillars of the court round about, to be joined with cross-rods of silver, and their hooks of silver, - and their sockets of bronze,¹⁸ The length of the court, a hundred cubits and the breadth fifty throughout and the height five cubits of fine-twined linen, - and their sockets, of bronze.¹⁹ All the utensils of the habitation, throughout all the service thereof, - and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, of bronze.

²⁰ Thou thyself, therefore, shalt command the sons of Israel that they bring unto thee - pure, beaten olive-oil, for giving light, - that the lamp may lift up its flame continually.²¹ In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is by the testimony, shall Aaron and his sons order it from evening until morning, before Yahweh, - a statute age-abiding, to their generations, from the sons of Israel.
