1 He made the altar of burnt offering also of acacia wood; five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth; it was square, and three cubits was its height.

 

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

 

3 And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans: all its utensils he made of bronze.

 

4 And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down.

 

5 He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles;

 

6 he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze.

 

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

 

8 And he made the laver of bronze and its base of bronze, from the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the tent of meeting.

 

9 And he made the court; for the south side the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, a hundred cubits;

 

10 their pillars were twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

 

11 And for the north side a hundred cubits, their pillars twenty, their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

 

12 And for the west side were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver.

 

13 And for the front to the east, fifty cubits.

 

14 The hangings for one side of the gate were fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases.

 

15 And so for the other side; on this hand and that hand by the gate of the court were hangings of fifteen cubits, with three pillars and three bases.

 

16 All the hangings round about the court were of fine twined linen.

 

17 And the bases for the pillars were of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their fillets were of silver; the overlaying of their capitals was also of silver, and all the pillars of the court were filleted with silver.

 

18 And the screen for the gate of the court was embroidered with needlework in blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen; it was twenty cubits long and five cubits high in its breadth, corresponding to the hangings of the court.

 

19 And their pillars were four; their four bases were of bronze, their hooks of silver, and the overlaying of their capitals and their fillets of silver.

 

20 And all the pegs for the tabernacle and for the court round about were of bronze.
