Exodus 27:1-10 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. You shall make an altar of acacia wood, on a square, five cubits long and five cubits wide; it shall be three cubits high.

2. At the four corners make horns that are of one piece with the altar. You shall then plate it with bronze.

3. Make pots for removing the ashes, as well as shovels, basins, forks, and fire pans; all these utensils you shall make of bronze.

4. Make for it a grating, a bronze network; make four bronze rings for it, one at each of its four corners.

5. Put it down around the altar, on the ground. This network is to be half as high as the altar.

6. You shall also make poles of acacia wood for the altar, and plate them with bronze.

7. These poles are to be put through the rings, so that they are on either side of the altar when it is carried.

8. Make the altar itself in the form of a hollow box. Just as it was shown you on the mountain, so it is to be made.

9. You shall also make a court for the tabernacle. On the south side the court shall have hangings, of fine linen twined, a hundred cubits long,

10. with twenty columns and twenty pedestals of bronze; the hooks and bands on the columns shall be of silver.
