Exodus 27
The altar for burnt offerings is to be made of setim wood, five cubits square and three cubits high, with horns at the four corners and covered in brass. The altar's vessels, including pans, tongs, and receptacles for fire, are also to be made of brass. The atrium of the tabernacle is to be constructed with fine twisted linen hangings, supported by columns with brass bases and silver heads. The atrium's dimensions are to be 100 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 5 cubits high, with all vessels and tent pegs made of brass.
1"You shall also make an altar of setim wood, which will have five cubits in length, and the same in width, that is, four equal sides, and three cubits in height2Now there shall be horns at the four corners of it, and you shall cover it with brass3And you shall make, for its uses, pans to receive the ashes, and tongs as well as small hooks, and receptacles for fire. You shall fabricate all of its vessels from brass4along with a grating of brass in the manner of a net. At its four corners there shall be four rings of brass5which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of the altar6You shall also make, for the altar, two bars of setim wood, which you shall cover with layers of brass7And you shall lead them through the rings, and they will be on both sides of the altar to carry it8You shall not make it solid, but empty and hollow at the interior, just as it was shown to you on the mountain9You shall also make the atrium of the tabernacle, at the southern part of which, opposite the meridian, there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen: one side extending for one hundred cubits in length10And you shall make twenty columns with the same number of bases of brass, the heads of which, with their engravings, shall be made of silver11In like manner also, throughout the length of the north side, there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits, and twenty columns, and the same number of bases of brass, and their heads with their engravings of silver12Yet truly, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the west, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns, and the same number of bases13Likewise, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the east, there shall be fifty cubits14along which there shall be assigned hangings of fifteen cubits for one side, and three columns, and the same number of bases15And, along the other side, there shall be hangings occupying fifteen cubits, with three columns and the same number of bases16Yet truly, at the entrance of the atrium, there shall be made a hanging of twenty cubits, of hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery. It shall have four columns, with the same number of bases17All the columns surrounding the atrium shall be clothed with layers of silver, with silver heads, and with bases of brass18In length, the atrium shall occupy one hundred cubits, in width, fifty; the height shall be of five cubits. And it shall be made of fine twisted linen, and it shall have bases of brass19All the vessels of the tabernacle, for all uses and ceremonies, even to the tent pegs for its atrium, you shall make of brass20Instruct the sons of Israel so that they may bring you the purest oil of the olive trees, crushed with a pestle, so that a lamp may always bur21in the tabernacle of the testimony, outside of the veil that enshrouds the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall arrange it, so that it may give light in the presence of the Lord, until morning. This shall be a perpetual observance among the sons of Israel, throughout their successions.
