“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. 2 And 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. 3 And thou shalt make his pans to receive
his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his
firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make [of] brass. 4 And thou
shalt make for it a grate of network [of] brass; and upon the net shalt
thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof. 5 And thou
shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be
even to the midst of the altar. 6 And thou shalt make staves for the
altar, staves [of] shittim wood, and overlay them with brass. 7 And the
staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two
sides of the altar, to bear it. 8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it:
as it was shewed thee in 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] fine twined linen
of an 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 in length [there shall be] hangings of an hundred [cubits]
long, and his twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [of] brass; the
hooks of the pillars and their fillets [of] silver. 12 And [for] the
breadth of the court on the west side [shall be] hangings of fifty
cubits: their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. 13 And the breadth of
the court on the east side eastward [shall be] fifty cubits. 14 The
hangings of one side [of the gate shall be] fifteen cubits: their
pillars three, and their sockets three. 15 And on the other side [shall
be] hangings fifteen [cubits]: their pillars three, and their sockets
three. 16 And for the gate of the court [shall be] an hanging of twenty
cubits, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen,
wrought with needlework: [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] an hundred
cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, 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 pins of the court, [shall be of] brass.”
“20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring
thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn
always. 21 In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which
[is] before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order 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.” (Ex
27:1-21 AV)
