Exodus 38:1-13 ▼

1 Then Bezalel made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood; its top was square, five cubits long and five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

2 And he made its horns (horn-shaped projections) on the four corners of it; the horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

3 He made all the utensils and vessels of the altar [of burnt offering], the pots, shovels, basins [to catch the blood of the sacrificed animal], meat hooks and the firepans [to store live coals]. He made all its utensils of bronze.

4 He made for the altar a grating of bronze mesh under its rim, extending halfway up it.

5 He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the carrying poles.

6 And he made the carrying poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7 He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it; he made it hollow with planks.

8 Bezalel made the basin and its base of bronze from the mirrors of the attending women who served and ministered at the doorway of the Tent of Meeting.

9 Then he made the court: for the south side the curtains of the court were of fine twisted linen, a hundred cubits;

10 their twenty support poles, and their twenty bronze sockets; the hooks of the support poles and their connecting rings were silver.

11 And for the north side [of the court the curtains were also] a hundred cubits; their twenty support poles and their twenty bronze sockets; the hooks of the support poles and their connecting rings were silver.

12 For the west side [of the court] there were curtains of fifty cubits with their ten support poles and their ten sockets; the hooks of the support poles and their connecting rings were silver.

13 For the east side [the front of the courtyard, there were curtains of] fifty cubits.
