1. Make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide. The altar is to be square, and it is to be three cubits high.
2. Make horns for it on its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece with it. Then overlay it with bronze.
3. Make its pots for removing the ashes, and its shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans. Make all its utensils of bronze.
4. Make a grating for it, a network of bronze, and make four bronze rings on the network at its four corners.
5. Put the grating under the ledge of the altar, so that the network reaches halfway up the altar.
6. Make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.
7. The poles are to be inserted into the rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.
8. Make the altar hollow, out of boards. They are to make it just as you were shown on the mountain.

15. and hangings fifteen cubits long on the other side, with three posts and three bases.
16. For the gate of the courtyard there is to be a screen twenty cubits long, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer, with four posts and four bases.
17. All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.

19. All the utensils of the tabernacle used in all its service, and all its tent pegs and all the tent pegs of the courtyard, are to be made of bronze.
20. You are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, so that a lamp may be kept burning continually.
21. In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that is in front of the testimony, Aaron and his sons are to keep it in order before Yahweh from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites throughout their generations.
