1. Use acacia wood to build an altar two and a quarter metres square and one and a third metres high,
2. and make each of the four top corners stick up like the horn of a bull. Then cover the whole altar with bronze, including the four horns.
3. All the equipment for the altar must also be made of bronze—the pans for the hot ashes, the shovels, the sprinkling bowls, the meat forks, and the fire pans.
8. Construct the altar in the shape of an open box, just as you were shown on the mountain.
16. Use four more of these posts for the entrance way, then hang on them an embroidered curtain of fine linen nine metres long and woven with blue, purple, and red wool.
17-18. The curtains that surround the courtyard must be two and a quarter metres high and are to be hung from the bronze posts with silver hooks and rods.
19. The rest of the equipment for the sacred tent must be made of bronze, including the pegs for the tent and for the curtain surrounding the courtyard.
20. Command the people of Israel to supply you with the purest olive oil. Do this so the lamp will keep burning
