Exodus 27 (LXX)

1ΚΑΙ ποιήσεις θυσιαστήριον ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων, πέντε πήχεων τὸ μῆκος καὶ πέντε πήχεων τὸ εὖρος, τετράγωνον ἔσται τὸ θυσιαστήριον, καὶ τριῶν πήχεων τὸ ὕψος αὐτοῦ.“You are to build an altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.

2καὶ ποιήσεις τὰ κέρατα ἐπὶ τῶν τεσσάρων γωνιῶν· ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔσται τὰ κέρατα· καὶ καλύψεις αὐτὰ χαλκῷ.Make a horn on each of its four corners, so that the horns are of one piece, and overlay it with bronze.

3καὶ ποιήσεις στεφάνην τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ καὶ τὸν καλυπτῆρα αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς φιάλας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὰς κρεάγρας αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸ πυρεῖον αὐτοῦ· καὶ πάντα τὰ σκεύη αὐτοῦ ποιήσεις χαλκᾶ.Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans.

4καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτῷ ἐσχάραν ἔργῳ δικτυωτῷ χαλκῆν· καὶ ποιήσεις τῇ ἐσχάρᾳ τέσσαρας δακτυλίους χαλκοῦς ὑπὸ τὰ τέσσαρα κλίτη.Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh.

5καὶ ὑποθήσεις αὐτοὺς ὑπὸ τὴν ἐσχάραν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου κάτωθεν· ἔσται δὲ ἡ ἐσχάρα ἕως τοῦ ἡμίσους τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου.Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.

6καὶ ποιήσεις τῷ θυσιαστηρίῳ ἀναφορεῖς ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων καὶ περιχαλκώσεις αὐτούς χαλκῷ.Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.

7καὶ εἰσάξεις τοὺς ἀναφορεῖς εἰς τοὺς δακτυλίους, καὶ ἔστωσαν ἀναφορεῖς κατὰ πλευρὰ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐν τῷ αἴρειν αὐτό.The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.

8κοῖλον σανιδωτὸν ποιήσεις αὐτό· κατὰ τὸ παραδεχθέν σοι ἐν τῷ ὄρει, οὕτω ποιήσεις αὐτό.Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

9Καὶ ποιήσεις αὐλὴν τῇ σκηνῇ· εἰς τὸ κλίτος τό πρὸς λίβα ἱστία τῆς αὐλῆς ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης, μῆκος ἑκατὸν πήχεων τῷ ἑνὶ κλίτει·You are also to make a courtyard for the tabernacle. On the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,

10καὶ οἱ στῦλοι αὐτῶν εἴκοσι, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν εἴκοσι χαλκαῖ, καὶ οἱ κρίκοι αὐτῶν καὶ αἱ ψαλίδες ἀργυραῖ.with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.

11οὕτως τῷ κλίτει τῷ πρὸς ἀπηλιώτην ἱστία, ἑκατὸν πήχεων μῆκος· καὶ οἱ στῦλοι αὐτῶν εἴκοσι καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν εἴκοσι χαλκαῖ, καὶ οἱ κρίκοι καὶ αἱ ψαλίδες τῶν στύλων, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν περιηργυρωμέναι ἀργυρίῳ.Likewise there are to be curtains on the north side, a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

12τὸ δὲ εὖρος τῆς αὐλῆς τὸ κατὰ θάλασσαν ἱστία πεντήκοντα πήχεων· στῦλοι αὐτῶν δέκα, καὶ βάσεις αὐτῶν δέκα.The curtains on the west side of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits wide, with ten posts and ten bases.

13καὶ εὖρος τῆς αὐλῆς τῆς πρὸς νότον, ἱστία πεντήκοντα πήχεων· στῦλοι αὐτῶν δέκα, καὶ βάσεις αὐτῶν δέκα.The east side of the courtyard, toward the sunrise, is to be fifty cubits wide.

14καὶ πεντεκαίδεκα πήχεων τὸ ὕψος τῶν ἱστίων τῷ κλίτει τῷ ἑνί· στῦλοι αὐτῶν τρεῖς, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τρεῖς.Make the curtains on one side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases,

15καὶ τὸ κλίτος τὸ δεύτερον δεκαπέντε πήχεων τῶν ἱστίων τὸ ὕψος· στῦλοι αὐτῶν τρεῖς, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τρεῖς.and the curtains on the other side fifteen cubits long, with three posts and three bases.

16καὶ τῇ πύλῃ τῆς αὐλῆς κάλυμμα, εἴκοσι πήχεων τὸ ὕψος, ἐξ ὑακίνθου καὶ πορφύρας καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης τῇ ποικιλίᾳ τοῦ ραφιδευτοῦ· στῦλοι αὐτῶν τέσσαρες καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν τέσσαρες.The gate of the courtyard shall be twenty cubits long, with a curtain embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely spun linen. It shall have four posts and four bases.

17πάντες οἱ στῦλοι τῆς αὐλῆς κύκλῳ κατηργυρωμένοι ἀργυρίῳ, καὶ αἱ κεφαλίδες αὐτῶν ἀργυραῖ, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν χαλκαῖ.All the posts around the courtyard shall have silver bands, silver hooks, and bronze bases.

18τὸ δὲ μῆκος τῆς αὐλῆς ἑκατὸν ἐφ᾿ ἑκατόν, καὶ εὖρος πεντήκοντα ἐπὶ πεντήκοντα, καὶ ὕψος πέντε πήχεων, ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης, καὶ αἱ βάσεις αὐτῶν χαλκαῖ.The entire courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide, with curtains of finely spun linen five cubits high, and with bronze bases.

19καὶ πᾶσα ἡ κατασκευὴ καὶ πάντα τὰ ἐργαλεῖα καὶ οἱ πάσσαλοι τῆς αὐλῆς χαλκοῖ.All the utensils of the tabernacle for every use, including all its tent pegs and the tent pegs of the courtyard, shall be made of bronze.

20Καὶ σὺ σύνταξον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ καὶ λαβέτωσάν σοι ἔλαιον ἐξ ἐλαιῶν ἄτρυγον καθαρὸν κεκομμένον εἰς φῶς καῦσαι, ἵνα καίηται λύχνος διαπαντός.And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

21ἐν τῇ σκηνῇ τοῦ μαρτυρίου ἔξωθεν τοῦ καταπετάσματος τοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς διαθήκης καύσει αὐτὸ Ἀαρὼν καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ ἀφ᾿ ἑσπέρας ἕως πρωΐ ἐναντίον Κυρίου· νόμιμον αἰώνιον εἰς τὰς γενεὰς ὑμῶν παρὰ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the LORD from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.
