Exodus 27
New King James Version
The Altar of Burnt Offering(A)
27 “You shall make (B)an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide—the altar shall be square—and its height shall be three cubits. 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. 3 Also you shall make its pans to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. 4 You shall make a grate for it, a network of bronze; and on the network you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. 5 You shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, that the network may be midway up the altar. 6 And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. 7 The poles shall be put in the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar to bear it. 8 You shall make it hollow with boards; (C)as it was shown you on the mountain, so shall they make it.
The Court of the Tabernacle(D)
9 (E)“You shall also make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side there shall be hangings for the court made of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long for one side. 10 And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets shall be bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be silver. 11 Likewise along the length of the north side there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long, with its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver.
12 “And along the width of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars and their ten sockets. 13 The width of the court on the east side shall be fifty cubits. 14 The hangings on one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets. 15 And on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
16 “For the gate of the court there shall be a screen twenty cubits long, woven of blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, made by a weaver. It shall have four pillars and four sockets. 17 All the pillars around the court shall have bands of silver; their (F)hooks shall be of silver and their sockets of bronze. 18 The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, the width fifty throughout, and the height five cubits, made of fine woven linen, and its sockets of bronze. 19 All the utensils of the tabernacle for all its service, all its pegs, and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.
The Care of the Lampstand(G)
20 “And (H)you shall command the children of Israel that they bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to cause the lamp to [a]burn continually. 21 In the tabernacle of meeting, (I)outside the veil which is before the Testimony, (J)Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening until morning before the Lord. (K)It shall be a statute forever to their generations on behalf of the children of Israel.

Meer instructies voor de bouw
27 Maak een altaar van acaciahout, met een breedte en lengte van 2,25 meter—zodat het vierkant is—en een hoogte van 1,35 meter. 2 Laat uit de vier hoeken van het altaar horens steken en overtrek dan het hele altaar met koper. 3 De asemmers, schoppen, schalen, vorken en vuurpannen moeten allemaal van koper worden gemaakt. 4 Maak een koperen rooster met aan elke punt een koperen ring. 5 Bevestig dit rooster zo onder de rand van het altaar boven de vuurplaats dat het tot halverwege het altaar reikt. 6 Maak ook draagstokken van acaciahout voor het altaar en overtrek ze met koper. 7 De stokken moeten voor het dragen door de ringen aan het altaar worden gestoken. 8 Het altaar moet hol zijn, gemaakt van planken, zoals u het op de berg hebt gezien.
9,10 Maak een voorhof voor de tabernakel, afgesloten met gordijnen van getwijnd fijn linnen. Aan de zuidkant moeten de gordijnen een lengte van 45 meter hebben en op twintig pilaren op koperen voetstukken hangen. De gordijnen moeten met zilveren haken aan zilveren stangen die tussen de twintig pilaren zijn aangebracht, worden bevestigd. 11 Hetzelfde moet u doen aan de noordkant van de voorhof: 45 meter gordijnen, hangend aan zilveren haken en stangen tussen twintig pilaren op koperen voetstukken. 12 De westkant van de voorhof moet 22,5 meter lang zijn met tien pilaren op tien koperen voetstukken. 13 Hetzelfde geldt voor de oostkant. 14,15 Aan elke zijde van de ingang moet 6,75 meter gordijn komen, opgehouden door drie pilaren met drie voetstukken. 16 De ingang van de voorhof wordt gevormd door een negen meter breed gordijn, gemaakt van blauwpurper, roodpurper, scharlaken en getwijnd fijn linnen. Dit kleurige weefsel moet worden bevestigd aan vier pilaren op vier voetstukken. 17 Alle pilaren rond de voorhof moeten aan elkaar worden bevestigd met zilveren stangen met zilveren haken eraan en op koperen voetstukken staan. 18 De voorhof zal dan 45 meter lang en 22,5 meter breed zijn, omgeven met muren van gordijn van 2,25 meter hoog, gemaakt van getwijnd fijn linnen.
19 Alle voorwerpen die in de tabernakel worden gebruikt en ook de pinnen waarmee alles in de grond wordt vastgezet, moeten van koper zijn.
20 Geef de Israëlieten opdracht dat zij moeten zorgen voor zuivere olijfolie voor de kandelaar in de tabernakel, zodat die voortdurend kan blijven branden. 21 Aäron en zijn zonen moeten die eeuwige vlam in het Heilige zetten en er dag en nacht voor het oog van de Here voor zorgen, zodat zij nooit dooft. Dit is een eeuwige regel voor het volk Israël.’

The altar for sacrifices
27 Use acacia wood to make an altar. It must be square, 2.2 metres long and 2.2 metres wide. It must be 1.3 metres high. 2 Make four horns, one at each corner of the altar. The horns and the altar itself must be one piece of work. Then cover the whole altar with bronze. 3 Make all the tools for the altar with bronze. Make pots to remove the ashes, spades and bowls. Make forks for the meat. Make dishes to carry the fire. 4 Use bronze to make a square net and rings at each corner. 5 Fix this net inside the altar, in the middle, between the top of the altar and the ground.[a] 6 Use acacia wood to make poles for the altar. Cover them with bronze. 7 You must put the poles through the rings when you carry the altar. There will be a pole on each of two sides of the altar. 8 Use boards to make the altar, so that it is empty inside. You must make it in the way that the Lord showed you on the mountain.
The yard
9 Make a yard around the tent of the tabernacle. The south side must be 45 metres long. It will have curtains that are made of good linen. 10 Make 20 poles and 20 bronze bases to hold the poles. Use silver to make hooks and sticks to hold the curtains. 11 The north side of the yard must also be 45 metres long. It will also have 20 poles with their bronze bases, as well as their silver hooks and sticks.
12 The west end of the yard must be 23 metres long. Make curtains for it, with ten poles and their bronze bases. 13 The entrance to the yard is at its east end. That end must also be 23 metres long. 14-15 There will be 7 metres of curtain on each side of the entrance. There will be three poles with their bases to hold the curtains on each side.
16 Make a curtain 9 metres wide for the entrance to the yard. Make it out of blue, purple and red material, as well as good linen. Choose a worker who can use special skills to make the curtain look beautiful. Make four poles and their bases to hold the curtain at the entrance.
17 All the poles around the yard must have bronze bases. They will also have silver hooks and sticks to hold the curtains. 18 The yard will be 45 metres long and 23 metres wide. Use good linen to make the curtains. They must be 2¼ metres high on the bronze bases.
19 Use bronze to make all the tools that you will use in the tabernacle. Also use bronze to make the pegs that fix the tent of the tabernacle to the ground. And make bronze pegs to fix the curtain around the yard to the ground.
Olive oil for the lamps
20 Command the Israelites to bring you pure oil from fresh olives. You will use this oil to make the lamps give light all the time. 21 Aaron and his sons must make sure that the lamps always give light from evening until morning. The lampstand will be in the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain that hangs in front of the Covenant Box.[b] The lamps must always give light there, where the Lord is. This will always be a rule for the Israelites, now and in the future.
