1 "Make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide. The altar is to be square, and three cubits high.
2 Make a horn at each of its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece with the altar. Then overlay it with bronze.
3 Make all its utensils of bronze: the pots for clearing away its ashes, and its shovels, basins, forks and firepans.
4 Make a grating for it, a bronze network, and put a bronze ring on each of the four corners of the network.
5 Set it beneath the ledge of the altar, down below, so that the network comes halfway up the altar.
6 Make poles for the altar out of acacia wood and overlay them with bronze.
7 The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that they are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.
8 Make the altar hollow, out of boards. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.
9 "Make the court of the tabernacle. The south side, facing the Negev, is to have hangings of fine twisted linen a hundred cubits long on that one side,
10 with twenty pillars and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the pillars.
11 The north side likewise is to have hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the pillars.
12 Across the width of the court on the west side there are to be hangings fifty cubits long, with ten pillars and ten bases.
13 On the east side, toward the sunrise, the court is to be fifty cubits wide.
14 Hangings fifteen cubits long are to be on one side of the entrance, with three pillars and three bases,
15 and hangings fifteen cubits long on the other side, with three pillars and three bases.
16 For the gate of the court there is to be a screen twenty cubits long, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, with four pillars and four bases.
17 All the pillars around the court are to have silver bands and silver hooks, and bronze bases.
18 The court is to be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide all along, with hangings of fine twisted linen five cubits high and bases of bronze.
19 All the tabernacle's equipment used in any of its service, and all its tent pegs and those of the court, are to be of bronze.
20 "Command the children of Israel to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light, so that the lamp can be kept burning at all times.
21 In the tent of meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the testimony, Aaron and his sons are to keep it in order before the LORD from evening until morning. This is a lasting ordinance for the children of Israel, for all their generations.
