The Altar of Burnt-Offering

27 You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and it shall be three cubits high. You shall make horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze. You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and forks and firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. 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. You shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net shall extend half-way down the altar. You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze; the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. You shall make it hollow, with boards. They shall be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

The Court and Its Hangings

You shall make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have hangings of fine twisted linen one hundred cubits long for that side; 10 its twenty pillars and their twenty bases shall be of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 11 Likewise, for its length on the north side there shall be hangings one hundred cubits long, their pillars twenty and their bases twenty, of bronze, but the hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be of silver. 12 For the width of the court on the west side there shall be fifty cubits of hangings, with ten pillars and ten bases. 13 The width of the court on the front to the east shall be fifty cubits. 14 There shall be fifteen cubits of hangings on one side, with three pillars and three bases. 15 There shall be fifteen cubits of hangings on the other side, with three pillars and three bases. 16 For the gate of the court there shall be a screen twenty cubits long, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen, embroidered with needlework; it shall have four pillars and with them four bases. 17 All the pillars around the court shall be banded with silver; their hooks shall be of silver, and their bases of bronze. 18 The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits, the width fifty, and the height five cubits, with hangings of fine twisted linen and bases of bronze. 19 All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, and all its pegs and all the pegs of the court, shall be of bronze.

The Oil for the Lamp

20 You shall further command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, so that a lamp may be set up to burn regularly. 21 In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that is before the covenant,[a] Aaron and his sons shall tend it from evening to morning before the Lord. It shall be a perpetual ordinance to be observed throughout their generations by the Israelites.

L’altare di bronzo

27 (A)«Farai anche un altare di legno d’acacia, lungo cinque cubiti e largo cinque cubiti. L’altare sarà quadrato, e avrà tre cubiti di altezza. Ai quattro angoli farai dei corni che spuntino dall’altare, e lo rivestirai di bronzo. Farai pure i suoi vasi per raccogliere le ceneri, le sue palette, i suoi catini, i suoi forchettoni e i suoi bracieri; tutti i suoi utensili li farai di bronzo. E gli farai una graticola di bronzo a forma di rete; sopra la rete, ai suoi quattro angoli, farai quattro anelli di bronzo. Porrai la rete sotto la cornice dell’altare, nella parte inferiore, in modo che la rete raggiunga la metà dell’altezza dell’altare. Farai anche delle stanghe per l’altare, delle stanghe di legno d’acacia, e le rivestirai di bronzo. Si faranno passare le stanghe negli anelli; le stanghe saranno ai due lati dell’altare, quando lo si dovrà portare. Lo farai di tavole, vuoto; dovrà essere fatto come ti è stato mostrato sul monte.

Il cortile; la porta del cortile

(B)«Farai anche il cortile del tabernacolo; dal lato meridionale, per formare il cortile, ci saranno delle cortine di lino fino ritorto, per una lunghezza di cento cubiti, per un lato. 10 Questo lato avrà venti colonne con le loro venti basi di bronzo; i ganci e le aste delle colonne saranno d’argento. 11 Così pure per il lato di settentrione, per lungo, ci saranno delle cortine lunghe cento cubiti, con venti colonne e le loro venti basi di bronzo; i ganci e le aste delle colonne saranno d’argento. 12 E per largo, dal lato occidentale, il cortile avrà cinquanta cubiti di cortine, con dieci colonne e le loro dieci basi. 13 E per largo, sul davanti, dal lato orientale, il cortile avrà cinquanta cubiti. 14 Da uno dei lati dell’ingresso ci saranno quindici cubiti di cortine, con tre colonne e le loro tre basi. 15 Anche dall’altro lato ci saranno quindici cubiti di cortine, con tre colonne e le loro tre basi.

16 Per l’ingresso del cortile ci sarà una portiera, una cortina ricamata di venti cubiti, di filo violaceo, porporino, scarlatto, e di lino fino ritorto, con quattro colonne e le loro quattro basi. 17 Tutte le colonne attorno al cortile saranno congiunte con delle aste d’argento; i loro ganci saranno d’argento e le loro basi di bronzo. 18 La lunghezza del cortile sarà di cento cubiti; la larghezza, di cinquanta da ciascun lato; e l’altezza, di cinque cubiti; le cortine saranno di lino fino ritorto, e le basi delle colonne, di bronzo. 19 Tutti gli utensili destinati al servizio del tabernacolo, tutti i suoi picchetti e tutti i picchetti del cortile saranno di bronzo.

L’olio per il candelabro

20 (C)«Ordinerai ai figli d’Israele che ti portino dell’olio puro, di olive schiacciate, per il candelabro, per tenere le lampade sempre accese. 21 Nella tenda di convegno, fuori del velo che sta davanti alla testimonianza, Aaronne e i suoi figli lo prepareranno perché le lampade ardano dalla sera al mattino davanti al Signore. Questa sarà una regola perenne per i loro discendenti, da essere osservata dai figli d’Israele.

The Altar of Burnt Offering(A)

27 “Build an altar(B) of acacia wood, three cubits[a] high; it is to be square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.[b] Make a horn(C) at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar are of one piece, and overlay the altar with bronze. Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots to remove the ashes, and its shovels, sprinkling bowls,(D) meat forks and firepans.(E) Make a grating for it, a bronze network, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the network. Put it under the ledge of the altar so that it is halfway up the altar. Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.(F) The poles are to be inserted into the rings so they will be on two sides of the altar when it is carried.(G) Make the altar hollow, out of boards. It is to be made just as you were shown(H) on the mountain.

The Courtyard(I)

“Make a courtyard(J) for the tabernacle. The south side shall be a hundred cubits[c] long and is to have curtains of finely twisted linen, 10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts. 11 The north side shall also be a hundred cubits long and is to have curtains, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

12 “The west end of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits[d] wide and have curtains, with ten posts and ten bases. 13 On the east end, toward the sunrise, the courtyard shall also be fifty cubits wide. 14 Curtains fifteen cubits[e] long are to be on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases, 15 and curtains fifteen cubits long are to be on the other side, with three posts and three bases.

16 “For the entrance to the courtyard, provide a curtain(K) twenty cubits[f] long, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer(L)—with four posts and four bases. 17 All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands and hooks, and bronze bases. 18 The courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,[g] with curtains of finely twisted linen five cubits[h] high, and with bronze bases. 19 All the other articles used in the service of the tabernacle, whatever their function, including all the tent pegs for it and those for the courtyard, are to be of bronze.

Oil for the Lampstand(M)

20 “Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil(N) of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. 21 In the tent of meeting,(O) outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law,(P) Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps(Q) burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance(R) among the Israelites for the generations to come.
