Chapter 27
Exodus
Verse 1“You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad. The altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. Verse 2And you shall make horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze. Verse 3You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and forks and fire pans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze. Verse 4You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. Verse 5And you shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net extends halfway down the altar. Verse 6And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. Verse 7And the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. Verse 8You shall make it hollow, with boards. As it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made.
Verse 9“You shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have hangings of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side. Verse 10Its twenty pillars and their twenty bases shall be of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. Verse 11And likewise for its length on the north side there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, its pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver. Verse 12And for the breadth of the court on the west side there shall be hangings for fifty cubits, with ten pillars and ten bases. Verse 13The breadth of the court on the front to the east shall be fifty cubits. Verse 14The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases. Verse 15On the other side the hangings shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and three bases. Verse 16For the gate of the court there shall be a screen twenty cubits long, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework. It shall have four pillars and with them four bases. Verse 17All the pillars around the court shall be filleted with silver. Their hooks shall be of silver, and their bases of bronze. Verse 18The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, the breadth fifty, and the height five cubits, with hangings of fine twined linen and bases of bronze. Verse 19All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, and all its pegs and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.
Verse 20“You shall command the people of Israel that they bring to you pure beaten olive oil for the light, that a lamp may regularly be set up to burn. Verse 21In the tent of meeting, outside the veil that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the LORD. It shall be a statute forever to be observed throughout their generations by the people of Israel.
