Chapter 27
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. 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. 3 Make pots for
removing the ashes, as well as shovels, basins, forks and fire pans, all of
which shall be of bronze. 4 Make a grating of
bronze network for it; this to have four bronze rings, one at each of its four
corners. 5 Put it down around the altar, on the
ground. This network is to be half as high as the altar. 6 You shall also make poles of acacia wood for the
altar, and plate them with bronze. 7 These poles
are to be put through the rings, so that they are on either side of the altar
when it is carried. 8 Make the altar itself in
the form of a hollow box, just as it was shown you on the mountain.

"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, 10 with twenty columns and twenty pedestals of bronze;
the hooks and bands on the columns shall be of silver. 11
On the north side there shall be similar hangings, a hundred cubits long, with
twenty columns and twenty pedestals of bronze; the hooks and bands on the
columns 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. 13 The width of
the court on the east side shall be fifty cubits. 14
On one side there shall be hangings to the extent of fifteen cubits, with three
columns and three pedestals; 15 on the other
side there shall be hangings to the extent of fifteen cubits, with three
columns and three pedestals. 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. 17 "All
the columns around the court shall have bands and hooks of silver, and
pedestals of bronze. 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. 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.
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. 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.
