1 “You shall make the altar of acacia wood, about seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide. The altar shall be square, and its height shall be about four and a half feet. 2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. You shall overlay it with bronze. 3 You shall make its pots for removing its ashes, its shovels, its bowls, its forks, and its firepans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze. 4 You shall make for it a grating of bronze mesh, and on the mesh you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. 5 You shall put it beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh reaches to the middle of the altar. 6 You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. 7 Its poles shall be put into the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. 8 You shall make it hollow, of boards. As he showed you on the mountain, so they shall make it.

9 You shall make the courtyard of the tabernacle. On the south side the courtyard shall have hangings of finely twisted linen, about one hundred fifty feet long for that side, 10 with its twenty pillars and their twenty bases of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 11 Likewise, on the north side there shall be hangings about one hundred fifty feet long, with its twenty pillars and their twenty bases of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 12 Across the width of the courtyard on the west side there shall be hangings about seventy-five feet long, with their ten pillars and their ten bases. 13 The width of the courtyard on the east side, toward the sunrise, shall be about seventy-five feet. 14 The hangings on one side of the entrance shall be about twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three pillars and their three bases. 15 On the other side there shall be hangings about twenty-two and a half feet long, with their three pillars and their three bases. 16 For the gate of the courtyard there shall be a screen about thirty feet long, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, with its four pillars and their four bases. 17 All the pillars around the courtyard shall be banded with silver. Their hooks shall be of silver, and their bases of bronze. 18 The courtyard shall be about one hundred fifty feet long and seventy-five feet wide at both ends. Its hangings shall be of finely twisted linen, about seven and a half feet high, with bronze bases. 19 All the utensils of the tabernacle for all its service, all its pegs, and all the pegs of the courtyard shall be of bronze.

20 You shall command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from beaten olives for lighting, to keep a lamp burning continually. 21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the LORD. It shall be a perpetual statute for the Israelites throughout their generations.”
