Exodus 27:13-21 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

18. In length, the atrium shall occupy one hundred cubits, in width, fifty; the height shall be of five cubits. And it shall be made of fine twisted linen, and it shall have bases of brass.

19. All the vessels of the tabernacle, for all uses and ceremonies, even to the tent pegs for its atrium, you shall make of brass.

20. Instruct the sons of Israel so that they may bring you the purest oil of the olive trees, crushed with a pestle, so that a lamp may always burn

21. in the tabernacle of the testimony, outside of the veil that enshrouds the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall arrange it, so that it may give light in the presence of the Lord, until morning. This shall be a perpetual observance among the sons of Israel, throughout their successions."
