Exodus 27 – Preparing For (Burnt) Offerings
The Altar of Burnt Offering

Description

Square and made of acacia wood, five cubits in length and width and three cubits in height

Four horns on its four corners (all made of one piece) overlaid in bronze.

The pans for ashes, the shovels, basins, forks, firepans should all be utensils made of bronze.

A grate made of a network of bronze with four bronze rings at its four corners. The grate should be put under the rim of the altar so that the network would be midway up the altar.

The poles for the altar should be made of acacia wood and overlaid with bronze. The poles were to be put in the rings on the two sides of the altar to bear it.

God told Moses to make the altar hollow with boards just as it was shown to him on the mountain.

The Court of the Tabernacle

Description

The south side and the north side should have hangings made of fine woven linen, one hundred cubits long. There should be twenty pillars with twenty bronze sockets for both sides. The hooks of the pillars and their bands should be silver.

The width of the court (west side) should have hangings of fifty cubits with ten pillars and ten sockets.

The width of the court (east side) should be fifty cubits with hangings on each side of the gate of fifteen cubits and three pillars and three sockets.

The gate of the court should have a screen twenty cubits long and woven of blue, purple and scarlet thread. The fine woven linen should be made by a weaver. The gate should have four pillars and four sockets.

All the pillars of the court should have bands of silver with silver hooks and bronze sockets.

The length of the court should be one hundred cubits and fifty cubits in width throughout it. The height should be five cubits and made of fine woven linen with sockets of bronze. All the utensils of the tabernacle for all its service and pegs should be bronze. The pegs for the court should be bronze as well.

To care for the lampstand, Moses was to command the Israelites to bring pure oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamp would burn continually.

In the tabernacle of meeting, outside the veil that is before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons were to tend it from evening to morning before God. This was to be a statute forever to their generations on behalf of the Israelites.

We’re off to Exodus 28 next week.
