tim-wood : five cubits was the length thereof: and kve cubits the breadth thereof - C it was fourſquare ) and three cubits the height thereof. > And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of ir + the horns thereof were of the ſame, and he over- 114 it with brals. mn _ Sud be made all the veſlels of the altar, the pots,and

fice-pans, all the veſſels thereof made he of braſs.

4 Andhe made for the altar a brazen grate of net- work, under the compaſs thereof, beneath unto the midſt thereof.

5 And he caſt four rings for the four ends of the grate of braſs, to be places for the ſtaves. ;

to Their pillars were twenty, and their brazen foc- kets twenty: the hooks c of the pillars, and their fillets were of [\Lvers - c Upon whichthey hanged the Beaſts to be ſacrificed, as the Fews affirm. |

1t And for the north-fide, the hangings were an hun- dred cubits, their piilars were twenty, and their ſockets of braſs twenty : the hooks of the pillars, and their fil- lets of ſilver. | |

12 And for the weſt-ſide, were hangings of fifty cubits, their pillars ten, and their ſockets ten ; the hooks of the pillars, and their fillers of ſilver.

123 Andfor the caſt-ſide eaſtward fifty cubits.

14 The hangings of the one ſide of the gate were fifteen cubits, their pillars three, and their ſockets three.

15 And for the other ſide of the court-gate on this hand, and that hand,were hangings of fifrcen cubits, their pillars three, and their ſockets three.

d The h:izht reates to its ſtanding or hanging upright, and the

breadth relates to the hanging it ſelf, and the heighc of the hanging was taken in the breadth.

19 And their pillars were four, and their ſockets of braſs four, their hooks of ſilver, and the overlaying of their chapiters, and their fiilets of ſilver.

20 Andall the * pins of the tabernacle, and of the Court reund about were of braſs.
