Exodus 38:1-18 ▼

1 Then he made the altar for burnt offerings of acacia wood. It was a square, five cubits long and five cubits wide, and it was three cubits high.

2 He made horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

3 He made all the utensils for the altar—the pans, the shovels, the bowls, the forks, and the fire-pans—and he made all its utensils of bronze.

4 He made a lattice, a netting of bronze, for the altar. It was under its ledge, extending halfway up.

5 He cast four rings on the four ends of the bronze lattice as holders for the poles.

6 He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7 And he put the poles through rings on the sides of the altar to carry it. He made it hollow, out of boards.

8 He made the bronze basin and its bronze base from mirrors contributed by the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

9 Then he made the court. On the south side the hangings for the court were made of fine woven linen, 100 cubits long.

10 He made their 20 pillars and their 20 sockets of bronze, while the hooks of the pillars and their bands were made of silver.

11 The north side was 100 cubits long, and its 20 pillars and 20 sockets were made of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their bands were made of silver.

12 For the west side there were hangings 50 cubits long with their ten pillars and ten sockets. The hooks of the pillars and their bands were made of silver.

13 The east side was 50 cubits long.

14 The hangings for one section were fifteen cubits long, with their three pillars and three sockets,

15 and also for the second section. On either side of the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits long with their three pillars and three sockets.

16 All the hangings around the court were made of fine woven linen.

17 The sockets for the pillars were made of bronze and the hooks of the pillars and their bands were made of silver. Their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the pillars of the court were banded with silver.

18 The screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine woven linen. The length was 20 cubits and it was five cubits high along its width, corresponding to the hangings of the court.
