The Altar, Courtyard, and Lamps

1 And you shall make the Altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height three cubits. 2 And you shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze. 3 And make its pots for removing the ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its forks, and its fire pans; make all its vessels of bronze. 4 And make a grating for it, a network of bronze, and make four rings of bronze on the network at its four corners, 5 and put it under the ledge of the altar below, so that the net extends halfway up the altar. 6 And make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze; 7 and the poles shall be put into the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. 8 Make it hollow, with boards; as it was shown to you on the mountain, so shall they make it. 9 And you shall make the Court of the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have curtains of fine twisted linen a hundred cubits long for one side. 10 And its pillars shall be twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 11 And likewise for the north side there shall be curtains a hundred cubits long, and their pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 12 And for the width of the court on the west side there shall be curtains of fifty cubits, with their pillars ten and their bases ten. 13 And the width of the court on the east side, toward the sunrise, shall be fifty cubits, 14 and fifteen cubits of curtains on one side,⁠a with their pillars three and their bases three. 15 And on the other side fifteen cubits of curtains, with their pillars three and their bases three. 16 And for the gate of the court there shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, with their pillars four and their bases four. 17 All the pillars around the court shall be joined with bands of silver; their hooks shall be of silver and their bases of bronze. 18 The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the width fifty, and the height five cubits, of fine twisted linen, and their bases of bronze. 19 All the vessels of the tabernacle for all its service, and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the court shall be of bronze. 20 And you shall command the sons of Israel to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, so that the lamps may burn continually. 21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord; it is a perpetual statute throughout the generations of the sons of Israel.
