1 "You shall make an altar of acacia wood, on a square, five cubits long and five cubits wide; it shall be three cubits high.	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.
2 At the four corners there are to be horns, so made that they spring directly from the altar. You shall then plate it with bronze.	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.
3 Make pots for removing the ashes, as well as shovels, basins, forks and fire pans, all of which shall be of bronze.	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.
4 Make a grating of bronze network for it; this to have four bronze rings, one at each of its four corners.	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.
5 Put it down around the altar, on the ground. This network is to be half as high as the altar.	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.
6 You shall also make poles of acacia wood for the altar, and plate them with bronze.	6 And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.
7 These poles are to be put through the rings, so that they are on either side of the altar when it is carried.	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.
8 Make the altar itself in the form of a hollow box, just as it was shown you on the mountain.	8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9 "You shall also make a court for the Dwelling. On the south side the court shall have hangings a hundred cubits long, woven of fine linen twined,	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:
10 with twenty columns and twenty pedestals of bronze; the hooks and bands on the columns shall be of silver.	10 And the twenty pillars thereof and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

12 On the west side, across the width of the court, there shall be hangings, fifty cubits long, with ten columns and ten pedestals.	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.
13 The width of the court on the east side shall be fifty cubits.	13 And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.
14 On one side there shall be hangings to the extent of fifteen cubits, with three columns and three pedestals;	14 The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15 on the other side there shall be hangings to the extent of fifteen cubits, with three columns and three pedestals.	15 And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16 "At the entrance of the court there shall be a variegated curtain, twenty cubits long, woven of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined. It shall have four columns and four pedestals.	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.
17 "All the columns around the court shall have bands and hooks of silver, and pedestals of bronze.	17 All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.
18 The enclosure of the court is to be one hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, and five cubits high. Fine linen twined must be used, and the pedestals must be of bronze.	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.
19 All the fittings of the Dwelling, whatever be their use, as well as all its tent pegs and all the tent pegs of the court, must be of bronze.	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.
20 "You shall order the Israelites to bring you clear oil of crushed olives, to be used for the light, so that you may keep lamps burning regularly.	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.
21 From evening to morning Aaron and his sons shall maintain them before the LORD in the meeting tent, outside the veil which hangs in front of the commandments. This shall be a perpetual ordinance for the Israelites throughout their generations.	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.
