1 And thou shalt make an altar of shittim wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the height thereof shall be three cubits.1 “You shall also make an altar of setim wood, which will have five cubits in length, and the same in width, that is, four equal sides, and three cubits in height.
2 And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with brass.2 Now there shall be horns at the four corners of it, and you shall cover it with brass.
3 And thou shalt make his pans to receive his ashes, and his shovels, and his basons, and his fleshhooks, and his firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.3 And you shall make, for its uses, pans to receive the ashes, and tongs as well as small hooks, and receptacles for fire. You shall fabricate all of its vessels from brass,
4 And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.4 along with a grating of brass in the manner of a net. At its four corners there shall be four rings of brass,
5 And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.5 which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of the altar.
6 And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.6 You shall also make, for the altar, two bars of setim wood, which you shall cover with layers of brass.
7 And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.7 And you shall lead them through the rings, and they will be on both sides of the altar to carry it.
8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.8 You shall not make it solid, but empty and hollow at the interior, just as it was shown to you on the mountain.
9 And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of an hundred cubits long for one side:9 You shall also make the atrium of the tabernacle, at the southern part of which, opposite the meridian, there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen: one side extending for one hundred cubits in length.

11 And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and his twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.11 In like manner also, throughout the length of the north side, there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits, and twenty columns, and the same number of bases of brass, and their heads with their engravings of silver.
12 And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.12 Yet truly, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the west, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns, and the same number of bases.
13 And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.13 Likewise, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the east, there shall be fifty cubits,
14 The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.14 along which there shall be assigned hangings of fifteen cubits for one side, and three columns, and the same number of bases.
15 And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.15 And, along the other side, there shall be hangings occupying fifteen cubits, with three columns and the same number of bases.
16 And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four.16 Yet truly, at the entrance of the atrium, there shall be made a hanging of twenty cubits, of hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery. It shall have four columns, with the same number of bases.
17 All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.17 All the columns surrounding the atrium shall be clothed with layers of silver, with silver heads, and with bases of brass.
18 The length of the court shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.18 In length, the atrium shall occupy one hundred cubits, in width, fifty; the height shall be of five cubits. And it shall be made of fine twisted linen, and it shall have bases of brass.
19 All the vessels of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass.19 All the vessels of the tabernacle, for all uses and ceremonies, even to the tent pegs for its atrium, you shall make of brass.
20 And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always.20 Instruct the sons of Israel so that they may bring you the purest oil of the olive trees, crushed with a pestle, so that a lamp may always burn
21 In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.21 in the tabernacle of the testimony, outside of the veil that enshrouds the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall arrange it, so that it may give light in the presence of the Lord, until morning. This shall be a perpetual observance among the sons of Israel, throughout their successions.”
