And thou shalt make an altar of sethim wood: five cubits long and five
cubits broad, that it be foursquare, and three cubits high. And make it
horns proceeding out in the four corners of it, and cover it with
brass. And make his ashpans, shovels, basins, fleshhooks, firepans and
all the apparel thereof, of brass: after the fashion of a net, and put
upon the net four rings: even in the four corners of it, and put it
beneath under the compass of the altar, and let the net reach unto the
one half of the altar; And make staves for the altar of sethim wood,
and cover them with brass, and let them be put in rings along by the
sides of the altar, to bear it withal. And make the altar hollow with
boards: even as it was shewed thee in the mount, so let them make it.
And thou shalt make a court unto the habitation, which shall have in
the south side hangings of twined byss, being an hundred cubits long,
and twenty pillars thereof with their twenty sockets of brass: but the
knops of the pillars and their hoops shall be silver. In like wise on
the north side there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long and
twenty pillars with their sockets of brass, and the knops and the hoops
of silver. And in the breadth of the court westward, there shall be
hangings of fifty cubits long, and ten pillars with their ten sockets.
And in the breadth of the court eastward toward the rising of the son,
shall be hangings of fifty cubits. Hangings of fifteen cubits in the
one side of it with three pillars, and three sockets: and likewise on
the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits with three pillars
and three sockets. And in the gate of the court shall be a vail of
twenty cubits: of jacinth, scarlet, purple and twined byss wrought with
needle work, and four pillars with their four sockets. All the pillars
round about the court shall be hooped with silver, and their knops of
silver, and their sockets of brass. The length of the court, shall be
an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty, and the height five, and the
hangings shall be of twined byss and the sockets of brass. And all the
vessels of the habitation to all manner service and the pins thereof:
yea and the pins also of the court, shall be brass. And command the
children of Israel that they give the pure oil olive beaten for the
lights to pour alway into the lamps. In the tabernacle of witness
without the vail which is before the witness, shall Aaron and his sons
dress it both even and morning before the LORD: And it shall be a duty
for ever unto your generations after you: to be given of the children
of Israel.
