(Exodus 38:1–7)
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 height.
2
Now there shall be horns at the four corners of it, and you shall cover it with brass.
3
And 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 brass,
4
along with a grating of brass in the manner of a net. At its four corners there shall be four rings of brass,
5
which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of the altar.
6
You shall also make, for the altar, two bars of setim wood, which you shall cover with layers of brass.
7
And you shall lead them through the rings, and they will be on both sides of the altar to carry it.
8
You shall not make it solid, but empty and hollow at the interior, just as it was shown to you on the mountain.

The Courtyard

(Exodus 38:9–20)
9
You 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 length.
10
And you shall make twenty columns with the same number of bases of brass, the heads of which, with their engravings, shall be made of silver.
11
In 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 silver.
12
Yet 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 bases.
13
Likewise, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the east, there shall be fifty cubits,
14
along which there shall be assigned hangings of fifteen cubits for one side, and three columns, and the same number of bases.
15
And, along the other side, there shall be hangings occupying fifteen cubits, with three columns and the same number of bases.
16
Yet 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 bases.
17
All the columns surrounding the atrium shall be clothed with layers of silver, with silver heads, and with bases of brass.
18
In 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 brass.
19
All the vessels of the tabernacle, for all uses and ceremonies, even to the tent pegs for its atrium, you shall make of brass.

The Oil for the Lamps

(Leviticus 24:1–4)
20
Instruct 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 burn
21
in 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.”
(Exodus 38:1–7)
1
You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits (a) long, and five cubits wide. The altar shall be square. Its height shall be three cubits.(b)
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 to take away its ashes; and its shovels, its basins, its meat hooks, and its fire pans. You shall make all its vessels of bronze.
4
You shall make a grating for it of network of bronze. On the net you shall make four bronze rings in its four corners.
5
You shall put it under the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up 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 carrying it.
8
You shall make it hollow with planks. They shall make it as it has been shown you on the mountain.

The Courtyard

(Exodus 38:9–20)
9
You shall make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen one hundred cubits long for one side.
10
Its pillars shall be twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.
11
Likewise for the length of the north side, there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long, and its pillars twenty, and their sockets twenty, of bronze; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillets, of silver.
12
For the width of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
13
The width of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.
14
The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
15
For the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their sockets three.
16
For the gate of the court shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer; their pillars four, and their sockets four.
17
All the pillars of the court around shall be filleted with silver; their hooks of silver, and their sockets of bronze.
18
The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, and the width fifty throughout, and the height five cubits, of fine twined linen, and their sockets of bronze.
19
All the instruments of the tabernacle in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, shall be of bronze.

The Oil for the Lamps

(Leviticus 24:1–4)
20
You shall command the children of Israel, that they bring to you pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.
21
In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil which is before the covenant, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute forever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
