    The chapter

    What happens here

    Atlas's own reading, written from this chapter and nothing else, and published only once a person has approved it. Each scene names the verses it covers; the names inside it link to the people and places they name.

    The altar is a hollow box with four horns, a bronze mesh middle, and the full kit of a rather serious kitchen.

    The hollow altarvv. 1–8

    The altar is to be built from acacia boards, square and three cubits high, with a horn at each corner and bronze laid over it. Beneath its ledge sits a bronze grate, while poles pass through rings so the whole curious construction can be carried. Its equipment includes ash pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans—an admirably thorough arrangement for a place involving both fire and leftovers.

    The courtyard and its gatevv. 9–19

    The courtyard is measured out with linen curtains, posts, bases, hooks, and bands: a hundred cubits along the south and north, fifty across the west, and fifty at the east toward the sunrise. The entrance is distinguished by a curtain embroidered in blue, purple, and scarlet, with four posts and four bases. Even the tent pegs belong to the bronze department, leaving very little of the place unaccounted for.

    The lamps from evening until morningvv. 20–21

    The Israelites are to bring pure oil from pressed olives so that the lamps may burn continually. In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil before the Testimony, Aaron and his sons tend them from evening until morning; the instruction is called a permanent statute for the Israelites and their generations.

    19. Exod 27:19All 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.

    20. Exod 27:20And you are to command the Israelites to bring you pure oil of pressed olives for the light, to keep the lamps burning continually.

    21. Exod 27:21In 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.’’

    Who else the chapter reaches

    Names written in the English are linked in the text above. These are the ones that are not: an entity the Hebrew or Greek names under a spelling the translation does not use, or one reached only by an assertion about a verse of this chapter.

    Named in the Hebrew or Greek somewhere in this chapter, under a form the English renders differently — the registry's Ludim against the translation's Ludites — so there is no word in the sentence to hang the link on.
