The Bronze Altar

(Exodus 27:1–8)

1Bezalel constructedH62131 the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930 from acaciaH7848 woodH6086. It was squareH7251, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 longH753, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 highH6967.2 2He madeH6213 a hornH7161 at each ofH5921 its fourH702 cornersH6438, so that the hornsH7161 and altar wereH1961 of one pieceH4480, and he overlaidH6823 the altar with bronzeH5178.

3He madeH6213 allH3605 the altar’sH4196 utensilsH3627 of bronzeH5178—its potsH5518, shovelsH3257, sprinkling bowlsH4219, meat forksH4207, and firepansH4289. 4He madeH6213 a grateH4345 of bronzeH5178 meshH7568 for the altarH4196H4639 underH8478 its ledgeH3749, halfwayH2677 up from the bottomH4295H5704.

5At the fourH702 cornersH7117 of the bronzeH5178 grateH4345 he castH3332 fourH702 ringsH2885 as holdersH1004 for the polesH905. 6And he madeH6213 the polesH905 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 and overlaidH6823 themH853 with bronzeH5178. 7Then he insertedH935 the polesH905 into the ringsH2885 onH5921 the sidesH6763 of the altarH4196 for carryingH5375 itH853. He madeH6213 the altar with boardsH3871 so that it was hollowH5014.

(Exodus 30:17–21)

8Next he madeH6213 the bronzeH5178 basinH3595 and its standH3653H5178 from the mirrorsH4759 of the women whoH834H6633 servedH6633 at the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150.

The Courtyard

(Exodus 27:9–19)

9Then he constructedH6213 the courtyardH2691. The southH5045H8486 sideH6285 of the courtyardH2691 was a hundredH3967 cubitsH520 long3 and had curtainsH7050 of finely spunH7806 linenH8336, 10with twentyH6242 postsH5982 and twentyH6242 bronzeH5178 basesH134, and with silverH3701 hooksH2053 and bandsH2838 on the postsH5982. 11The northH6828 sideH6285 was also a hundredH3967 cubitsH520 long, with twentyH6242 postsH5982 and twentyH6242 bronzeH5178 basesH134. The hooksH2053 and bandsH2838 of the postsH5982 were silverH3701. 12The westH3220 sideH6285 was fiftyH2572 cubits longH5204 and had curtainsH7050, with tenH6235 postsH5982 and tenH6235 basesH134. The hooksH2053 and bandsH2838 of the postsH5982 were silverH3701. 13And the eastH6924 sideH6285, toward the sunriseH4217, was also fiftyH2572 cubitsH520 long.

14The curtainsH7050 onH413 one sideH3802 of the entrance were fifteenH2568H6240 cubitsH520 long,5 with threeH7969 postsH5982 and threeH7969 basesH134. 15And the curtainsH7050 on the otherH8145 sideH3802 were also fifteenH2568 cubits longH520, with threeH7969 postsH5982 and threeH7969 basesH134 as well. 16AllH3605 the curtainsH7050 aroundH5439 the courtyardH2691 were made of finely spunH7806 linenH8336. 17The basesH134 for the postsH5982 were bronzeH5178, the hooksH2053 and bandsH2838 were silverH3701, and the platingH6826 for the topsH7218 of the posts was silverH3701H1992. So allH3605 the postsH5982 of the courtyardH2691 were bandedH2836 with silverH3701.

18The curtainH4539 for the entranceH8179 to the courtyardH2691H4639 was embroideredH7551 with blueH8504, purpleH713, and scarlet yarnH8438H8144, and finely spunH7806 linenH8336. It was twentyH6242 cubitsH520 longH7536 and, likeH5980 the curtainsH7050 of the courtyardH2691, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 highH6967H7341,7 19with fourH702 postsH5982 and fourH702 bronzeH5178 basesH134. Their hooksH2053 were silverH3701, as well as the bandsH2838 and the platingH6826 of their topsH7218. 20AllH3605 the tent pegsH3489 for the tabernacleH4908 and for the surroundingH5439 courtyardH2691 were bronzeH5178.
