Verses 1–10
1 Thou shalt make also an altar of setim wood, which shall be five cubits long, and as many broad, that is four square, and three cubits high.
2 And there shall be horns at the four corners of the same: and thou shalt cover it with brass.
3 And thou shalt make for the uses thereof pans to receive the ashes, and tongs and fleshhooks, and firepans: all its vessels thou shalt make of brass.
4 And a grate of brass in manner of a net; at the four corners of which, shall be four rings of brass,
5 Which thou shalt put under the hearth of the altar: and the grate shall be even to the midst of the altar.
6 Thou shalt make also two bars for the altar, of setim wood, which thou shalt cover with plates of brass:
7 And thou shalt draw them through rings, and they shall be on both sides of the altar to carry it.
8 Thou shalt not make it solid, but empty and hollow in the inside, as it was shewn thee in the mount.
9 Thou shalt make also the court of the tabernacle, in the south side whereof southward there shall be hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits long for one side.
10 And twenty pillars with as many sockets of brass, the heads of which, with their engraving, shall be of silver.
