Context of Exodus 27:19
17All the poles around the yard must have bronze bases. They will also have silver hooks and sticks to hold the curtains. 18The yard will be 45 metres long and 23 metres wide. Use good linen to make the curtains. They must be 2¼ metres high on the bronze bases. Use bronze to make all the tools that you will use in the tabernacle.

And make bronze pegs to fix the curtain around the yard to the ground. 20Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from fresh olives. You will use this oil to make the lamps give light all the time. 21Aaron and his sons must make sure that the lamps always give light from evening until morning. The lampstand will be in the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain that hangs in front of the Covenant Box. The lamps must always give light there, where the Lord is. This will always be a rule for the Israelites, now and in the future.
