1 And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.
1 HARÁS también altar de madera de Sittim de cinco codos de longitud, y de cinco codos de anchura: será cuadrado el altar, y su altura de tres codos.
2 Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.
2 Y harás sus cuernos á sus cuatro esquinas; los cuernos serán de lo mismo; y lo cubrirás de metal.
3 And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.
3 Harás también sus calderas para echar su ceniza; y sus paletas, y sus tazones, y sus garfios, y sus braseros: harás todos sus vasos de metal.
4 And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.
4 Y le harás un enrejado de metal de obra de malla; y sobre el enrejado harás cuatro anillos de metal á sus cuatro esquinas.
5 And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.
5 Y lo has de poner dentro del cerco del altar abajo; y llegará el enrejado hasta el medio del altar.
6 And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.
6 Harás también varas para el altar, varas de madera de Sittim, las cuales cubrirás de metal.
7 And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.
7 Y sus varas se meterán por los anillos: y estarán aquellas varas á ambos lados del altar, cuando hubiere de ser llevado.
8 The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.
8 De tablas lo harás, hueco: de la manera que te fué mostrado en el monte, así lo harás.
9 And let there be an open space round the House, with hangings for its south side of the best linen, a hundred cubits long.
9 Asimismo harás el atrio del tabernáculo: al lado del mediodía, al austro, tendrá el atrio cortinas de lino torcido, de cien codos de longitud cada un lado;
10 Their twenty pillars and their twenty bases are to be of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their bands are to be of silver.
10 Sus veinte columnas, y sus veinte basas serán de metal; los capiteles de las columnas y sus molduras, de plata.
11 And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.
11 Y de la misma manera al lado del aquilón habrá á lo largo cortinas de cien codos de longitud, y sus veinte columnas, con sus veinte basas de metal; los capiteles de sus columnas y sus molduras, de plata.
12 And for the open space on the west side, the hangings are to be fifty cubits wide, with ten pillars and ten bases;
12 Y el ancho del atrio del lado occidental tendrá cortinas de cincuenta codos; sus columnas diez, con sus diez basas.
13 And on the east side the space is to be fifty cubits wide.
13 Y en el ancho del atrio por la parte de levante, al oriente, habrá cincuenta codos.
14 On the one side of the doorway will be hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases;
14 Y las cortinas del un lado serán de quince codos; sus columnas tres, con sus tres basas.
15 And on the other side, hangings fifteen cubits long, with three pillars and three bases.
15 Al otro lado quince codos de cortinas; sus columnas tres, con sus tres basas.
16 And across the doorway, a veil of twenty cubits of the best linen, made of needlework of blue and purple and red, with four pillars and four bases.
16 Y á la puerta del atrio habrá un pabellón de veinte codos, de cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino torcido, de obra de bordador: sus columnas cuatro, con sus cuatro basas.
17 All the pillars round the open space are to have silver bands, with hooks of silver and bases of brass.
17 Todas las columnas del atrio en derredor serán ceñidas de plata; sus capiteles de plata, y sus basas de metal.
18 The open space is to be a hundred cubits long, fifty cubits wide, with sides five cubits high, curtained with the best linen, with bases of brass.
18 La longitud del atrio será de cien codos, y la anchura cincuenta por un lado y cincuenta por el otro, y la altura de cinco codos: [sus cortinas] de lino torcido, y sus basas de metal.
19 All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.
19 Todos los vasos del tabernáculo en todo su servicio, y todos sus clavos, y todos los clavos del atrio, serán de metal.
20 Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.
20 Y tú mandarás á los hijos de Israel que te traigan aceite puro de olivas, molido, para la luminaria, para hacer arder continuamente las lámparas.
21 Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.
21 En el tabernáculo del testimonio, afuera del velo que está delante del testimonio, las pondrá en orden Aarón y sus hijos, delante de Jehová desde la tarde hasta la mañana, como estatuto perpetuo de los hijos de Israel por sus generaciones.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
The altar of burnt-offering also was five cubits in breadth. Five priests were chosen in the wilderness,--namely, Aaron, Nadab, Abiud, Eleazar, Ithamar.
