Exodus 27  Legacy Standard Bible

The Bronze Altar

27 “And you shall make (A)the altar of acacia wood, five [a]cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. 2 You shall make (B)its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be [b]of the same piece, and you shall overlay it with [c]bronze. 3 You shall make its pots for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its bowls and its flesh hooks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. 4 You shall make for it a grating, a network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings [d]at its four corners. 5 You shall put it beneath, under the ledge of the altar, so that the net will reach halfway down the altar. 6 You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. 7 Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar (C)when it is carried. 8 You shall make it hollow with planks; (D)as it was shown to you in the mountain, so they shall make it.

The Court of the Tabernacle

9 “You shall make (E)the court of the [e]tabernacle. [f]On the south side there shall be hangings for the court of fine twisted linen [g]one hundred cubits long for one side; 10 and its pillars shall be twenty, with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their [h]bands shall be of silver. 11 Likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty bases of bronze; the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 12 For the width of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits with their ten pillars and their ten bases. 13 The width of the court on the east side toward the sunrise shall be fifty cubits. 14 The hangings for the one [i]side of the gate shall be [j]fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three bases. 15 And for the [k]other [l]side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits with their three pillars and their three bases. 16 And as for the gate of the court there shall be a screen of [m]twenty cubits, of [n]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a [o]weaver, with their four pillars and their four bases. 17 All the pillars around the court shall be furnished with silver bands with their hooks of silver and their bases 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 twisted linen, and their bases of bronze. 19 All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its pegs, and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.

20 “And you shall command the sons of Israel, that they bring you (F)clear oil of beaten olives for the [p]light, to make a lamp [q]burn continually. 21 In the (G)tent of meeting, outside (H)the veil which is before the testimony, (I)Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before Yahweh; it shall be a perpetual (J)statute throughout their generations [r]for the sons of Israel.
