1You shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide. The altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits.

2You shall make its horns on its four corners. Its horns shall be part of it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.

3You shall make its pots for its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its meat hooks, and its fire pans. You shall make all of its vessels out of bronze.

4You shall make a grating for it, a latticework of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.

5You shall put it under the ledge of the altar beneath, so that the net will reach halfway up the altar.

6You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.

7The poles shall be put into the rings, so that the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when carrying it.

8You shall make it hollow with boards. Just as it was shown you on the mountain, so shall they make it.

9You shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side there shall be curtains for the court of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side;

10and it shall have twenty pillars with twenty bronze sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver.

11Likewise for the north side in length there shall be curtains a hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver.

12For the width of the court on the west side shall be curtains of fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten sockets.

13The width of the court on the east side shall be fifty cubits.

14The curtains on one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three sockets.

15On the other side shall be curtains fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three sockets.

16For the gate of the court there shall be a curtain of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of an embroiderer, with their four pillars and their four sockets.

17All the pillars around about the court shall be furnished with silver bands. Their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of bronze.

18The length of the court shall be a hundred cubits, and the width fifty throughout, and the height five cubits of fine twisted linen, and their sockets of bronze.

19All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its tent pegs, and all the tent pegs of the court shall be of bronze.

20You shall command the Israelites that they bring you pure oil of olive pressed for the light, to cause the lamp to burn continually.

21In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall arrange it from evening to morning before the Lord. It shall be a perpetual statute for the Israelites for generations to come.
