| 2Make a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar are of one piece, and overlay the altar with bronze. | 2And 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. |
| 3Make all its utensils of bronze--its pots to remove the ashes, and its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans. | 3You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and forks and fire pans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze. |

| 6Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze. | 6And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. |
| 7The poles are to be inserted into the rings so they will be on two sides of the altar when it is carried. | 7And the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. |
| 8Make the altar hollow, out of boards. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain. | 8You shall make it hollow, with boards. As it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made. |

| 20"Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. | 20“You shall command the people of Israel that they bring to you pure beaten olive oil for the light, that a lamp may regularly be set up to burn. |
| 21In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the LORD from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come. | 21In the tent of meeting, outside the veil that is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the LORD. It shall be a statute forever to be observed throughout their generations by the people of Israel. |
