Exodus 27

¹And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

²Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

³And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

⁴And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

⁵And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

⁶And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

⁷And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

⁸The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

⁹And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.

¹⁰Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases are to be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their bands are to be of silver.

¹¹And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

¹²And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;

¹³And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide.
