1
"You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits.
2
And you shall make horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.
3
You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and forks and firepans; all its utensils you shall make of bronze.
4
You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze; and upon the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.
5
And you shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net shall extend halfway down the altar.
6
And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze;
7
and the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles shall be upon the two sides of the altar, when it is carried.
8
You shall make it hollow, with boards; as it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made.
9
"You shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have hangings of fine twined linen a hundred cubits long for one side;
10
their pillars shall be twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.
11
And likewise for its length on the north side there shall be hangings a hundred cubits long, their pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.
