Exodus 27:1-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. "You shall also make an altar of setim wood, which will have five cubits in length, and the same in width, that is, four equal sides, and three cubits in height.

2. Now there shall be horns at the four corners of it, and you shall cover it with brass.

3. And you shall make, for its uses, pans to receive the ashes, and tongs as well as small hooks, and receptacles for fire. You shall fabricate all of its vessels from brass,

4. along with a grating of brass in the manner of a net. At its four corners there shall be four rings of brass,

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.
