The altar for burnt offerings
27
📚“And you shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits wide. The altar 📖 is to be square, and its height is to be three cubits. 2 📚And you shall make horns for it on its four corners. Its horns are to be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with bronze. 3 📚And you shall make pans for it to receive its ashes. And make its shovels, its basins, its meat forks, and its fire-pans. You shall make all of its utensils out of bronze. 4 📚And you shall make a grating for it, a bronze network, and make four bronze rings on the network, in its four corners. 5 📚And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar underneath, so that the network will be halfway up the altar. 6 📚And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. 7 📚And the poles shall be put into the rings, and the staves are to be at the two sides of the altar, to carry it. 8 📚You shall make it hollow, out of boards. You must make it just as it was shown to you on the mountain.
The courtyard
9 📚“And you shall make the courtyard of the tabernacle. For the south side of the courtyard, facing south, there are to be hangings 📖 of fine woven linen a hundred cubits long on one side. 10 📚And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets are to be of bronze. The hooks on the pillars and their bands are to be of silver. 11 And also for the north side there are to be hangings a hundred cubits in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of bronze, the hooks on the pillars, and their bands, of silver.
12 “And for the width of the courtyard on the west side are to be hangings of fifty cubits, their ten pillars and their ten sockets. 13 And the width of the courtyard on the east side, facing east, is to be fifty cubits. 14 📚The hangings on one side of the gate are to be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets. 15 And on the other side the hangings are to be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
16 📚“And for the gate of the courtyard there is to be a hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine woven linen, made by a worker in embroidery. There are to be four pillars and their four sockets. 17 All the pillars around the courtyard are to be banded with silver. Their hooks are to be of silver, and their sockets of bronze. 18 The length of the courtyard is to be a hundred cubits, and the width fifty everywhere, and the height five cubits of fine woven linen, and their sockets of bronze. 19 📚All the articles of the tabernacle for all of its service, and all its tent pegs, and all the pegs for the courtyard, are to be of bronze.
The oil
20 📚“And you shall command the children of Israel to bring you pure oil 📖 of pounded olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continuously. 21 📚In the tabernacle of the congregation 📖 outside the veil that is in front of the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep the light in order from evening to morning before the LORD. This is to be a permanent statute throughout their generations for the children of Israel.
