Lyrics
You shall make the altar of acacia wood Five cubits long and five cubits wide The altar shall be square Its height shall be three cubits
You shall make its horns on its four corners Its horns shall be of one piece with it You shall overlay it with bronze You shall make its pots to take away its ashes
And its shovels, its basins, its meat hooks, and its fire pans You shall make all its vessels of bronze You shall make a grating for it of network of bronze On the net you shall make four bronze rings
In its four corners You shall put it under the ledge around the altar beneath That the net may reach halfway up the altar You shall make poles for the altar
Poles of acacia wood and overlay them with bronze Its poles shall be put into the rings And the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar When carrying it
You shall make it hollow with planks They shall make it as it has been shown you on the mountain You shall make the court of the tabernacle For the south side southward
There shall be hangings for the court Of fine twined linen one hundred cubits long for one side Its pillars shall be twenty and their sockets twenty Of bronze
The hooks of the pillars and their fillets shall be of silver Likewise for the length of the north side there shall be hangings One hundred cubits long And its pillars twenty
And their sockets twenty of bronze The hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver For the width of the court on the west side shall be hangings of fifty cubits Their pillars ten and their sockets ten
The width of the court on the east side eastward shall be fifty cubits The length of the court shall be one hundred cubits And the width fifty throughout And the height five cubits of fine twined linen
And their sockets of bronze All the instruments of the tabernacle in all its service And all its pins and all the pins of the court Shall be of bronze
