Exodus 27
27
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.
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.
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 27
27
The Altar for Burnt Offerings
1“Build an altar out of acacia wood. It must be four feet six inches high and seven feet six inches square. 2Make a horn stick out from each of its upper four corners. The horns and the altar must be all one piece. Cover the altar with bronze. 3Make everything for the altar out of bronze. Make its pots to remove the ashes. Make its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and pans for carrying ashes. 4Make a bronze grate for the altar. Make a bronze ring for each of the four corners of the grate. 5Put the grate halfway up the altar on the inside. 6Make poles out of acacia wood for the altar. Cover them with bronze. 7Put the poles through the rings. They will be on two sides of the altar for carrying it. 8Make the altar out of boards. Leave it hollow. It must look just like what I showed you on the mountain.
The Courtyard
9“Make a courtyard for the holy tent. The south side must be 150 feet long. It must have curtains that are made out of finely twisted linen. 10The curtains must be hung on 20 posts that have 20 bronze bases. The posts must have silver hooks and bands on them. 11The north side must also be about 150 feet long. It must have curtains with 20 posts that have 20 bronze bases. The posts must have silver hooks and bands on them.
12“The west end of the courtyard must be 75 feet wide. It must have curtains with ten posts that have ten bases. 13The east end of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, must also be 75 feet wide. 14On one side of the entrance you must put curtains that are 22 feet six inches long. Hang them on three posts. Each post must have a base. 15On the other side you must also put curtains that are 22 feet six inches long. Hang them on three posts. Each post must have a base.
16“For the entrance to the courtyard, provide a curtain 30 feet long. Make it out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. Have someone who sews skillfully make it. Hang it on four posts. Each post must have a base. 17All the posts that are around the courtyard must have silver bands and hooks. They must also have bronze bases. 18The courtyard must be 150 feet long and 75 feet wide. It must have curtains that are made out of finely twisted linen. They must be seven feet six inches high. The posts must have bronze bases. 19Make out of bronze all the other things used for any purpose in the holy tent. That includes all the tent stakes for the tent and the courtyard.
Oil for the Lampstand
20“Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil made from pressed olives. Use it to keep the lamps burning and giving light. 21Aaron and his sons must keep the lamps burning in the tent of meeting. The lamps will be outside the curtain in front of the tablets of the covenant law. The lamps must be kept burning in front of the Lord from evening until morning. This is a law for the Israelites that will last for all time to come.
