Exodus Chapter 27
The Bronze Altar
1 “Make an altar out of acacia wood, 7½ x 7½ x 4½ft high 2 with a horn on each corner. Make them one piece with the altar and overlaid with bronze.
3 “Make bronze pails for removing the ashes, bronze shovels, basins, forks, and fire pans.
4 “Make a network of bronze grating for it, and on the network put four bronze rings at the corners. 5 Put the grating under the ledge of the altar so it reaches halfway up the altar.
6 “For the altar make acacia poles overlaid with bronze. 7 Insert the poles into the rings on the two sides of the altar for carrying it. 8 Make it hollow with planks like you saw on the mountain.

Oil for the Lamp
20 “Charge the people to bring pure oil from mashed olives for a continually burning light in the lamp. 21 In the Tent of Meeting, outside the curtain in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons will keep the light burning from evening to morning in front of Yahveh—a permanent statute for Israel’s descendants.
