5. which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of the altar.
6. You shall also make, for the altar, two bars of setim wood, which you shall cover with layers of brass.
7. And you shall lead them through the rings, and they will be on both sides of the altar to carry it.
8. You shall not make it solid, but empty and hollow at the interior, just as it was shown to you on the mountain.
9. You shall also make the atrium of the tabernacle, at the southern part of which, opposite the meridian, there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen: one side extending for one hundred cubits in length.
10. And you shall make twenty columns with the same number of bases of brass, the heads of which, with their engravings, shall be made of silver.
11. In like manner also, throughout the length of the north side, there shall be hangings of one hundred cubits, and twenty columns, and the same number of bases of brass, and their heads with their engravings of silver.
12. Yet truly, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the west, there shall be hangings of fifty cubits, and ten columns, and the same number of bases.
13. Likewise, along the width of the atrium that looks out toward the east, there shall be fifty cubits,
14. along which there shall be assigned hangings of fifteen cubits for one side, and three columns, and the same number of bases.
15. And, along the other side, there shall be hangings occupying fifteen cubits, with three columns and the same number of bases.
16. Yet truly, at the entrance of the atrium, there shall be made a hanging of twenty cubits, of hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with embroidery. It shall have four columns, with the same number of bases.
17. All the columns surrounding the atrium shall be clothed with layers of silver, with silver heads, and with bases of brass.
