1 'And thou hast made the altar of shittim wood, five cubits the length, and five cubits the breadth — the altar is square — and three cubits its height. 2 And thou hast made its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same, and thou hast overlaid it [with] brass. 3 And thou hast made its pots to remove its ashes, and its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its fire-pans, even all its vessels thou dost make of brass. 4 'And thou hast made for it a grate of net-work of brass, and hast made on the net four rings of brass on its four extremities, 5 and hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net hath been unto the middle of the altar. 6 'And thou hast made staves for the altar, staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them [with] brass. 7 And the staves have been brought into the rings, and the staves have been on the two sides of the altar in bearing it. 8 Hollow with boards thou dost make it, as it hath been shewed thee in the mount, so do they make [it]. 9 'And thou hast made the court of the tabernacle: for the south side southward, hangings for the court of twined linen, a hundred by the cubit [is] the length for the one side, 10 and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver; 11 and so for the north side in length, hangings of a hundred [cubits] in length, and its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets [are] of brass, the pegs of the pillars and their fillets [are] of silver. 12 'And [for] the breadth of the court at the west side [are] hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their sockets ten. 13 And [for] the breadth of the court at the east side, eastward, [are] fifty cubits. 14 And the hangings at the side [are] fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their sockets three. 15 And at the second side [are] hangings fifteen [cubits], their pillars three, and their sockets three. 16 'And for the gate of the court a covering of twenty cubits, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of an embroiderer; their pillars four, their sockets four. 17 All the pillars of the court round about [are] filleted [with] silver, their pegs [are] silver, and their sockets brass. 18 'The length of the court [is] a hundred by the cubit, and the breadth fifty by fifty, and the height five cubits, of twined linen, and their sockets [are] brass, 19 even all the vessels of the tabernacle, in all its service, and all its pins, and all the pins of the court, [are] brass. 20 'And thou — thou dost command the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, to cause the lamp to go up continually; 21 in the tent of meeting, at the outside of the vail, which [is] over the testimony, doth Aaron — his sons also — arrange it from evening till morning before Jehovah — a statute age-during to their generations, from the sons of Israel.

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).

  1. Quotes verse 27:1 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book II, Chapters XXIII–XXIV)

    The altar of burnt-offering also was five cubits in breadth. Five priests were chosen in the wilderness,--namely, Aaron, Nadab, Abiud, Eleazar, Ithamar.
