"Using acacia wood, construct a square altar 7˝ feet wide, 7˝ feet long, and 4˝ feet high.* |
| 2 |
Make horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar are all one piece. Overlay the altar with bronze. |
| 3 |
Make ash buckets, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans, all of bronze. |
| 4 |
Make a bronze grating for it, and attach four bronze rings at its four corners. |
| 5 |
Install the grating halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge. |
| 6 |
For carrying the altar, make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. |
| 7 |
Insert the poles through the rings on the two sides of the altar. |
| 8 |
The altar must be hollow, made from planks. Build it just as you were shown on the mountain. |

"Then make the courtyard for the Tabernacle, enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side, make the curtains 150 feet long.* |
| 10 |
They will be held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. Hang the curtains with silver hooks and rings. |
| 11 |
Make the curtains the same on the north side—150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts set securely in bronze bases. Hang the curtains with silver hooks and rings. |
| 12 |
The curtains on the west end of the courtyard will be 75 feet long,* supported by ten posts set into ten bases. |
| 13 |
The east end of the courtyard, the front, will also be 75 feet long. |
| 14 |
The courtyard entrance will be on the east end, flanked by two curtains. The curtain on the right side will be 22˝ feet long,* supported by three posts set into three bases. |
| 15 |
The curtain on the left side will also be 22˝ feet long, supported by three posts set into three bases. |
| 16 |
"For the entrance to the courtyard, make a curtain that is 30 feet long.* Make it from finely woven linen, and decorate it with beautiful embroidery in blue, purple, and scarlet thread. Support it with four posts, each securely set in its own base. |
| 17 |
All the posts around the courtyard must have silver rings and hooks and bronze bases. |
| 18 |
So the entire courtyard will be 150 feet long and 75 feet wide, with curtain walls 7˝ feet high,* made from finely woven linen. The bases for the posts will be made of bronze. |
| 19 |
"All the articles used in the rituals of the Tabernacle, including all the tent pegs used to support the Tabernacle and the courtyard curtains, must be made of bronze. |
| 20 |
"Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually. |
| 21 |
The lampstand will stand in the Tabernacle, in front of the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant.* Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the LORD’s presence all night. This is a permanent law for the people of Israel, and it must be observed from generation to generation. |
