Exodus 27 1599 Geneva Bible
27 1 The Altar of the burnt offering. 9 The courts of the Tabernacle. 20 The lamps continually burning.
1 Moreover thou shalt make the [a]Altar of Shittim wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad (the altar shall be four square) and the height thereof three cubits.
2 And thou shalt make it horns in the four corners thereof: the horns shall be of [b]itself, and thou shalt cover it with brass.
3 Also thou shalt make his ash pans for his ashes, and his besoms, and his basins, and his flesh-hooks, and his [c]censers: thou shalt make all the instruments thereof of brass.
4 And thou shalt make unto it a grate, like network of brass: also upon that [d]grate shalt thou make four brazen rings upon the four corners thereof.
5 And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the grate may be in the midst of the altar.
6 Also thou shalt make bars for the altar, bars, I say, of Shittim wood, and shalt cover them with brass.
7 And the bars thereof shall be put in the rings, the which bars shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.
8 Thou shalt make the altar hollow between the boards: as God showeth thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
9 ¶ Also thou shalt make the [e]court of the Tabernacle in the South side, even full South: the court shall have curtains of fine twined linen, of an hundred cubits long, for one side,
10 And it shall have twenty pillars, with their twenty sockets of brass: the heads of the pillars, and their [f]fillets shall be silver.
11 Likewise on the North side in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and the twenty pillars thereof with their twenty sockets of brass: the heads of the pillars and the fillets shall be silver.
12 ¶ And the breadth of the court, on the West side shall have curtains of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars, and their ten sockets.
13 And the breadth of the court, Eastward full East, shall have [g]fifty cubits.
14 Also hangings of fifteen cubits shall be on the one [h]side with their three pillars and their three sockets.
15 Likewise on the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits, with their three pillars and their three sockets.
16 ¶ And in the gate of the court shall be a veil of twenty cubits of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen wrought with needle, with the four pillars thereof and their four sockets.
17 All the pillars of the court shall have fillets of silver round about, with their heads of silver, and their sockets of brass.
18 ¶ The length of the court shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty [i]at either end, and the height five cubits, and the hangings of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.
19 All the vessels of the Tabernacle for all manner service thereof, and all the [j]pins thereof, and all the pins of the court shall be brass.
20 ¶ And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive [k]beaten for the light, that the lamps may always [l]burn.
21 In the Tabernacle of the Congregation without the veil, which is before the Testimony, shall Aaron and his sons dress them from evening to morning before the Lord, for a statute forever unto their generations, to be observed by the children of Israel.
