[3] And thou shalt make its pots to take away its ashes, and its shovels, and its basons, and its fleshhooks, and its firepans: all the vessels thereof thou shalt make of brass.

[4] And thou shalt make for it a grating of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings in the four corners thereof.

[5] And thou shalt put it under the ledge round the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar.

[6] And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with brass.

[7] And the staves thereof shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, in bearing it.

[8] Hollow with planks shalt thou make it: as it hath been shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it.

[9] And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward there shall be hangings for the court of fine twined linen an hundred cubits long for one side:

[10] and the pillars thereof shall be twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver.

[11] And likewise for the north side in length there shall be hangings an hundred cubits long, and the pillars thereof twenty, and their sockets twenty, of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver.

[13] And the breadth of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits.

[14] The hangings for the one side of the gate shall be fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

[15] And for the other side shall be hangings of fifteen cubits: their pillars three, and their sockets three.

[16] And for the gate of the court shall be a screen of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the embroiderer: their pillars four, and their sockets four.

[17] All the pillars of the court round about shall be filleted with silver; their hooks of silver, and their sockets of brass.

[18] The length of the court shall be an hundred cubits, and the breadth fifty every where, and the height five cubits, of fine twined linen, and their sockets of brass.

[19] All the instruments of the tabernacle in all the service thereof, and all the pins thereof, and all the pins of the court, shall be of brass.

[20] And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a lamp to burn continually.

[21] In the tent of meeting, without the veil which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD: it shall be a statute for ever throughout their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel.
