The Bronze Altar

¹“And you shall make the altar of acacia wood, five ^[a]cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. ² You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with ^[b]bronze. ³ You shall make its pails for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ You shall make for it a grating of network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings ^[c]at its four corners. ⁵ You shall put it beneath, under the ledge of the altar, so that the net will reach halfway up the altar. ⁶ You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. ⁷ Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. ⁸ You shall make it hollow with planks; as it was shown to you in the mountain, so they shall make it.

Court of the Tabernacle

⁹ “You shall make the court of the ^[d]tabernacle. ^[e]On the south side there shall be hangings for the court of fine twisted linen one hundred cubits long for one side; ¹⁰ and its pillars shall be twenty, with their twenty ^[f]sockets of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their ^[g]bands shall be of silver. ¹¹ Likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty ^[h]sockets of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. ¹² For the width of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten ^[i]sockets. ¹³ The width of the court on the ^[j]east side shall be fifty cubits. ¹⁴ The hangings for the one ^[k]side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three ^[l]sockets. ¹⁵ And for the ^[m]other ^[n]side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three ^[o]sockets. ¹⁶ For the gate of the court there shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of ^[p]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a ^[q]weaver, with their four pillars and their four ^[r]sockets. ¹⁷ All the pillars around the court shall be furnished with silver bands with their hooks of silver and their ^[s]sockets of bronze. ¹⁸ The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, and the width fifty throughout, and the height five cubits of fine twisted linen, and their ^[t]sockets of bronze. ¹⁹ All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.

²⁰ “You shall charge the sons of Israel, that they bring you clear oil of beaten olives for the ^[u]light, to make a lamp ^[v]burn continually. ²¹ In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout their generations ^[w]for the sons of Israel.
