Exodus 27

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.

You are to craft a sacred altar from acacia wood, measuring five cubits in length and width, forming a perfect square. It should stand three cubits tall.

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.

Craft the four horns at each corner with unity, and cover it all in a layer of brass.

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.

You must create his ash pans, shovels, basins, meat forks, and fire pans. Make sure all these tools are made from brass.

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.

Craft a brass mesh grate for it, and attach four brass rings, one at each corner.

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

Place it beneath the altar's edge, ensuring the net reaches the altar's heart.

And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with brass.

Craft the altar's rods from acacia wood, and lovingly wrap them in brass.

And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.

The rods will be inserted into the rings, positioned on both sides of the altar, to support it.

Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.

Craft it with planks, just as you were guided on the mountain; that's how they should create it.

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:

Create the sacred space of the tabernacle with love and devotion. On the southern side, hang beautiful, finely woven linen curtains, a hundred cubits long, to mark the boundary.

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.

The twenty strong pillars and their sturdy bases will be crafted from brass; the clasps of the pillars and their decorative bands will shine with the purity of silver.

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.

On the north side, there will be a hundred cubit long curtain, held up by twenty brass-based pillars. Each pillar will be adorned with silver hooks and bands.

And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits: their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.

On the western edge of the courtyard, there will be a 50-cubit wide curtain, held up by ten pillars on ten bases.

And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.

The eastern side of the courtyard will stretch fifty cubits wide.

The hangings of one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

One side of the entrance will be adorned with fifteen cubits of beautiful drapery, supported by three sturdy pillars set firmly on three solid bases.

And on the other side shall be hangings fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

On the opposite side, there will be drapes stretching fifteen cubits long, supported by three pillars on three bases.

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.

The entrance to the courtyard will be adorned with a 20-cubit long curtain, beautifully crafted with blue, purple, and scarlet fine linen. It will be intricately designed with needlework. The curtain will be held up by four pillars on four bases.

All the pillars round about the court shall be filleted with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their sockets of brass.

Every pillar surrounding the courtyard will be adorned with silver, their hooks made of the same precious metal, and their bases crafted from sturdy brass.

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.

The courtyard will stretch a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, uniformly. Its finely woven linen curtains will stand five cubits tall, supported by sturdy brass bases.

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.

Every tool used in the sacred tent, every peg that holds it together, and every peg in the courtyard, must be made of brass.

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.

Instruct the people of Israel to bring you pure, crushed olive oil for the lamp, so its light never goes out.

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.

In the sacred meeting tent, outside the curtain that hangs before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons will tend the lamp from dusk till dawn in God's presence. This is a timeless rule for their descendants, done for the benefit of the people of Israel.
