Exodus 26:31-27:8
English Standard Version
31 (A)“And you shall make a veil of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and (B)fine twined linen. It shall be made with cherubim (C)skillfully worked into it. 32 And you shall hang it on four pillars of acacia overlaid with gold, with hooks of gold, on four bases of silver. 33 And you shall hang (D)the veil from the clasps, and bring (E)the ark of the testimony in there within the veil. And the veil shall separate for you the Holy Place from the Most Holy. 34 (F)You shall put the mercy seat on the ark of the testimony in the Most Holy Place. 35 And (G)you shall set the table outside the veil, and the (H)lampstand on the south side of the tabernacle opposite the table, and you shall put the table on the north side.
36 “You shall make a (I)screen for the entrance of the tent, of (J)blue and purple and scarlet yarns and (K)fine twined linen, embroidered with needlework. 37 And you shall make for the screen five pillars of acacia, and overlay them with gold. Their hooks shall be of gold, and you shall cast five bases of bronze for them.
The Bronze Altar
27 “You shall make the (L)altar of acacia wood, five cubits[a] long and five cubits broad. The altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. 2 And you shall make (M)horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and (N)you shall overlay it with bronze. 3 You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and (O)forks and fire pans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze. 4 You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. 5 And you shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net extends halfway down the altar. 6 And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. 7 And the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. 8 You shall make it hollow, with boards. (P)As it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made.
