Exodus 27:2-12

2 And thou shalt make the horns of it upon its four corners; its horns shall be of the same, and thou shalt cover it with brass.
3 And thou shalt make its pans to receive the ashes with its burnt fat, and its shovels and its basins and its fleshhooks and its firepans; all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.
4 And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.
5 And thou shalt put it under the circumference of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.
6 Thou shalt also make staves for the altar, staves of cedar wood, and cover them with brass.
7 And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.
8 Hollow with boards shalt thou make it; as it was showed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9 In the same manner thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle; to the side of the Negev to the south there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen of one hundred cubits long for each side;
10 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets shall be of brass; the capitals of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.
11 And likewise for the side of the Aquilon in length there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits long, and its twenty pillars with their twenty sockets of brass, the capitals of the pillars and their fillets of silver.
12 And for the breadth of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten.
