Exodus 38:1-18 ▼

1 And he will make the altar of burnt-offering of acacia wood: five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth; four-square; and three cubits its height.

2 And he will make its horns upon its four faces; from out of it were its horns: and he will spread it over with brass.

3 And he will make all the vessels of the altar, the pots and the shovels and the vases and the forks, and the fire pans; all its vessels he made of brass.

4 And he will make for the altar a grate of brass net work under its border from below; even to the half of it.

5 And he will cast four rings for the four ends for the grate of brass, the inner parts for the poles.

6 And he will make the bars of acacia wood; and he will spread them over with brass.

7 And he will bring the bars into the rings upon the ribs of the altar to lift it up by them; he made it hollow.

8 And he will make the wash-basin of brass, and its foot of brass, in the sight of those coming who came to the door of the tent of appointment.

9 And he will make the enclosure: to the south side southward, the curtains of the enclosure twisted byssus, a hundred cubits.

10 Their pillars twenty, and their brass bases twenty; the pegs of the pillars and their joinings, of silver.

11 And for the north side, a hundred by the cubit, their pillars twenty, and their bases twenty: the pegs of the pillars and their joinings, of silver.

12 And for the side of the sea, the curtains fifty by the cubit, their pillars ten, and their bases ten; the pegs of the pillars, and their joinings, of silver.

13 And for the east side from the sun rising, fifty cubits.

14 The curtains fifteen cubits to the side; their pillars three, and their bases three.

15 And for the second side, from hence and from thence, for the gate of the enclosure the curtains fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their bases three.

16 All the curtains of the enclosure round about, twisted byssus.

17 And the bases for the pillars, brass; the pegs of the pillars and their joinings, silver; and the overspreading their heads, silver; and all the pillars of the enclosure, their joinings, silver.

18 And the covering of the gate of the enclosure a variegated work, cerulean purple, and red purple, and double scarlet, and twisted byssus: and twenty cubits the length, and the height in breadth, five cubits, even as the curtains of the enclosure.
