Exodus 27

1 And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare, and the height thereof shall be three cubits. 2And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof. His horns shall be of the same, and thou shalt overlay it with brass. 3And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels and his basins and his fleshhooks and his firepans. All the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass. 4And thou shalt make for it a grate, a network of brass; and upon the network shalt thou make four brazen rings at the four corners thereof. 5And thou shalt put it under the rim of the altar beneath, that the network may be even to the middle of the altar. 6And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass. 7And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it. 8Hollow with boards shalt thou make it. As it was shown thee on the mount, so shall they make it. 9"And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: For the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of finetwined linen of a hundred cubits long for one side. 10And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. 11And likewise for the north side, in length there shall be hangings of a hundred cubits long, and his twenty pillars with their twenty sockets of brass, and the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. 12And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten and their sockets ten. 13And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits. 14The hangings on one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three. 15And on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, their pillars three and their sockets three. 16And for the gate of the court shall be a hanging of twenty cubits of blue and purple and scarlet, and finetwined linen wrought with needlework; and their pillars shall be four and their sockets four. 17All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver and their sockets of brass. 18The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty everywhere, and the height five cubits of finetwined linen, and their sockets of brass. 19All the vessels of the tabernacle for all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass. 20"And thou shalt command the children of Israel that they bring thee pure oil of beaten olives for the light to cause the lamp to burn always. 21In the tabernacle of the congregation outside the veil, which is before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the LORD. It shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
