Exodus 27

The Bronze Altar

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

Courtyard of the Tabernacle

9“Now you shall make 9the courtyard of the 10tabernacle. 11On the south side there shall be hangings for the courtyard of fine twisted linen, a 12hundred cubits long for one side; 10and its pillars shall be twenty, with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their 13bands shall be of silver. 11Likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings a 14hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 12For the width of the courtyard on the west side shall be hangings of 15fifty cubits, with their ten pillars and their ten bases. 13The width of the courtyard on the 16east side shall be fifty cubits. 14The hangings for the one 17side of the gate shall be 18fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 15And for the 19other 20side there shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three bases. 16And for the gate of the courtyard there shall be a curtain of 21twenty cubits, of 22violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a 23weaver, with their four pillars and their four bases. 17All the pillars around the courtyard shall be joined together with silver, with their hooks of silver and their bases of bronze. 18The length of the courtyard shall be a 24hundred cubits, and the width fifty throughout, and the height five cubits of fine twisted linen, and their bases of bronze. 19All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard, shall be of bronze.

20“And you shall command the sons of Israel that they bring you 25clear oil of beaten olives for the 26light, to make a lamp 27burn continually. 21In the 28tent of meeting, outside 29the veil which is before the testimony, 30Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the Lord; it shall be a permanent 31statute throughout their generations 32for the sons of Israel.
