Exodus 27 - Names of God Bible (NOG)

The Altar(A)

27 The Lord continued, “Make an altar out of acacia wood. It should be 7½ feet square, and 4½ feet high. 2 Make a horn at each of its four corners. The four horns and the altar must be made out of one piece of wood covered with bronze.

3 “Make all the utensils for it out of bronze: pots for taking away the altar’s ashes, also shovels, bowls, forks, and incense burners.

4 “Make a grate for it out of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring for each of the four corners of the grate. 5 Put the grate under the ledge of the altar so that it comes halfway up the altar.

6 “Make poles out of acacia wood for the altar, and cover them with bronze. 7 The poles should be put through the rings on both sides of the altar to carry it.

8 “Make the altar out of boards so that it’s hollow inside. It must be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

The Courtyard(B)

9 “Make a courtyard for the tent. The south side of the courtyard should be 150 feet long and have curtains made out of fine linen yarn, 10 hung on 20 posts set in 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands on the posts should be made of silver. 11 The north side should be the same: 150 feet long, with curtains on 20 posts set in 20 bronze bases. The hooks and bands on the posts should be made of silver.

12 “The courtyard on the west end should be 75 feet wide and have curtains hung on ten posts set in ten bases. 13 On the east end, facing the rising sun, the courtyard should also be 75 feet wide.

14–15 Each side of the entrance will be 22½ feet wide with curtains hung on three posts set in three bases.

16 “The entrance to the courtyard must have a 30-foot screen made from fine linen yarn, embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn, hung on four posts set in four bases. 17 All the posts around the courtyard should have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases. 18 The courtyard should be 150 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 7½ feet high, with curtains made of fine linen yarn and with bronze bases.

19 “All the things for the tent, no matter how they’re used, including all the pegs for the tent and the courtyard, must be made of bronze.

Lamps in the Tent(C)

20 “For the lighting, you must command the Israelites to bring you pure, virgin olive oil so that the lamps won’t go out. 21 In the tent of meeting outside the canopy where the words of my promise are, Aaron and his descendants must keep the lamps lit in Yahweh’s presence from evening until morning. This is a permanent law among the Israelites for generations to come.”
