# Exodus 27 (New King James Version) The Altar of Burnt Offering ##### Chapter 27 ###### 1 "You shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide--the altar shall be square--and its height _shall be_ three cubits. ###### 2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with bronze. ###### 3 Also you shall make its pans to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. ###### 4 You shall make a grate for it, a network of bronze; and on the network you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. ###### 5 You shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, that the network may be midway up the altar. ###### 6 And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. ###### 7 The poles shall be put in the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar to bear it. ###### 8 You shall make it hollow with boards; as it was shown you on the mountain, so shall they make _it._The Court of the Tabernacle ###### 9 "You shall also make the court of the tabernacle. For the south side _there shall be_ hangings for the court _made of_ fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long for one side. ###### 10 And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets _shall be_ bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands _shall be_ silver. ###### 11 Likewise along the length of the north side _there shall be_ hangings one hundred _cubits_ long, with its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of bronze, and the hooks of the pillars and their bands of silver. ###### 12 "And along the width of the court on the west side _shall be_ hangings of fifty cubits, with their ten pillars and their ten sockets. ###### 13 The width of the court on the east side _shall be_ fifty cubits. ###### 14 The hangings on _one_ side _of the gate shall be_ fifteen cubits, _with_ their three pillars and their three sockets. ###### 15 And on the other side _shall be_ hangings of fifteen _cubits, with_ their three pillars and their three sockets. ###### 16 "For the gate of the court _there shall be_ a screen twenty cubits long, _woven of_ blue, purple, and scarlet _thread,_ and fine woven linen, made by a weaver.
