² And thou shalt make its horns at the four corners thereof; its horns shall be of itself; and thou shalt overlay it with copper.

³ And thou shalt make its pots to cleanse it of the fat, its shovels, and its bowls, and its forks, and its firepans; for all the utensils thereof thou shalt employ copper.

⁴ And thou shalt make for it a grating of network of copper; and on the net shalt thou make four copper rings at its four corners;

⁵ and thou shalt put it under the ledge of the altar beneath, and the net shall be to the very middle of the altar.

⁶ And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of acacia-wood, and overlay them with copper.

⁷ And its staves shall be put into the rings, that the staves may be on both sides of the altar, when it is carried.

⁸ Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it hath been shewn thee on the mountain, so shall they make [it].

⁹ And thou shalt make the court of the tabernacle. On the south side, southward, hangings for the court of twined byssus; a hundred cubits the length for the one side,

¹⁰ and the twenty pillars thereof, and their twenty bases of copper, the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

¹¹ And likewise on the north side in length, hangings a hundred [cubits] long, and its twenty pillars, and their twenty bases of copper; the hooks of the pillars and their connecting-rods of silver.

¹² -- And the breadth of the court on the west side, hangings of fifty cubits; their pillars ten, and their bases ten.

¹³ -- And the breadth of the court on the east side, eastward, fifty cubits;

¹⁴ the hangings on the one wing, of fifteen cubits; their pillars three, and their bases three.

¹⁵ And on the other wing hangings of fifteen [cubits]; their pillars three, and their bases three.

¹⁶ -- And for the gate of the court a curtain of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus, embroidered with needlework; their pillars four, and their bases four.

¹⁷ All the pillars of the court round about shall be fastened together with [rods of] silver; their hooks of silver, and their bases of copper.

²⁰ And thou shalt command the children of Israel, that they bring thee olive oil, pure, beaten, for the light, to light the lamp continually.

²¹ In the tent of meeting outside the veil, which is before the testimony, Aaron and his sons shall dress them from evening to morning before Jehovah: [it is] an everlasting statute, for their generations, on the part of the children of Israel.

¹ Abram went up out of Egypt: he, his wife, all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

² Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

³ He went on his journeys from the South even to Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

⁴ to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first. There Abram called on the name of Yahweh.

⁵ Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.

⁶ The land was not able to bear them, that they might live together: for their substance was great, so that they could not live together.

⁷ There was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite lived in the land at that time.

⁸ Abram said to Lot, "Please, let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are relatives.

⁹ Isn't the whole land before you? Please separate yourself from me. If you go to the left hand, then I will go to the right. Or if you go to the right hand, then I will go to the left."

¹⁰ Lot lifted up his eyes, and saw all the plain of the Jordan, that it was well-watered everywhere, before Yahweh destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of Yahweh, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar.

¹¹ So Lot chose the Plain of the Jordan for himself. Lot traveled east, and they separated themselves the one from the other.

¹² Abram lived in the land of Canaan, and Lot lived in the cities of the plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom.

¹³ Now the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinners against Yahweh.

¹⁴ Yahweh said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him, "Now, lift up your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward,

¹⁵ for all the land which you see, I will give to you, and to your offspring forever.

¹⁶ I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then your seed may also be numbered.

¹⁷ Arise, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."

¹⁸ Abram moved his tent, and came and lived by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built an altar there to Yahweh.
