| 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. | 2"You shall make its horns 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. | 3"You shall make its pails for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. |

| 6Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze. | 6"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. | 7"Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles shall be 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. | 8"You shall make it hollow with planks; as it was shown to you in the mountain, so they shall make it. |

| 16"For the entrance to the courtyard, provide a curtain twenty cubits long, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen--the work of an embroiderer--with four posts and four bases. | 16"For the gate of the court there shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver, with their four pillars and their four sockets. |

| 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 charge the sons of Israel, that they bring you clear oil of beaten olives for the light, to make a lamp burn continually. |
| 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. | 21"In the tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall keep it in order from evening to morning before the LORD; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout their generations for the sons of Israel. |
