Exodus 27:2
英文原文
His horns shall be of the same - These horns were projections pointing upward in the form either of a small obelisk, or of the horn of an ox. They were to be actually parts of the altar, not merely superadded to it. On them the blood of the sin-offering was smeared Exodus 29:12; Leviticus 4:7; Leviticus 8:15; Leviticus 9:9; Leviticus 16:18. To take hold of them appears to have been regarded as an emphatic mode of laying claim to the supposed right of sanctuary (Exodus 21:14 note; 1 Kings 1:50).

Exodus 27:3
「盆」（Pans）——更恰當地作「鍋」，如出三十八3；王上七45。至於這些鍋在處理壇灰上的用途，見利一16。
「盤子」（Basons）——用以承接祭牲的血並灑在壇上的器皿（見出二十四6；利一5等）。
「肉鍤子」（Fleshhooks）——用以把祭牲的肉塊在壇上擺放妥當（參撒上二13）。
「火鼎」（Firepans）——同一個字在出二十五38、三十七23譯作「蠟剪」；在利十1、十六12；民四14、十六6等譯作「香爐」。這些器具看來是淺的金屬器皿，只用以把燒紅的炭從銅祭壇運到香壇。
英文原文
Pans - Rather pots as in Exodus 38:3; 1 Kings 7:45. On the use to which these pots were put in disposing of the ashes of the altar, see Leviticus 1:16.
Basons - Vessels used for receiving the blood of the victims and casting it upon the altar (see Exodus 24:6; Leviticus 1:5; etc.).
Fleshhooks - These were for adjusting the pieces of the victims upon the altar (compare 1 Samuel 2:13).
Firepans - The same word is rendered snuffdishes, Exodus 25:38; Exodus 37:23 : censers, Leviticus 10:1; Leviticus 16:12; Numbers 4:14; Numbers 16:6, etc. These utensils appear to have been shallow metal vessels which were employed merely to carry burning embers from the brazen altar to the altar of incense.

Exodus 27:5
「壇的四圍」（The compass of the altar）——一道寬度合宜的擱板或突出的邊緣，環繞壇的中部（頂與底之間）。其外緣四周由一道直立、網狀的銅柵支撐，銅柵立於地上。
英文原文
The compass of the altar - A shelf or projecting ledge, of convenient width, carried round the altar half way between the top and the base. It was supported all round its outer edge by a vertical net-like grating of bronze that rested on the ground.

Exodus 27:8
「用板作空的」（Hollow with boards）——是石板或厚板，而非一般的木板。這個字是用於律法石版（出二十四12；三十一18）的那個字，不是用於會幕豎板（出二十六15）的那個字。
銅祭壇是一個空心的匣狀結構，由厚實的皂莢木板組成，外包銅板，長寬各七英尺六英寸，高四英尺六英寸。猶太與基督教的權威都設想：當它固定使用時，裏面填滿了泥土或粗糙的石頭。我們若把這設想與出二十24–25所論土壇與石壇的舊規定聯繫起來，這木工實際上可被視為祭壇的外殼，祭牲真正在其上焚燒。壇四周的擱板（出二十七5）是必需的，作為祭司的台階，使他們能在壇頂方便地工作。因此論到亞倫，說他「從壇上下來」（利九22）。按拉比的傳統，南面有一道堆起的土坡，供祭司登上擱板（參出二十26）。
英文原文
Hollow with boards - Slabs, or planks, rather than boards. The word is that which is used for the stone tables of the law Exodus 24:12; Exodus 31:18, not that applied to the boards of the tabernacle Exodus 26:15.
The brazen altar was a hollow casing, formed of stout acacia planks covered with plates of bronze, seven feet six in length and width and four feet six in height. Jewish as well as Christian authorities have supposed that, when it was fixed for use, it was filled up with earth or rough stones. If we connect this suggestion with the old rule regarding the altar of earth and the altar of stone given in Exodus 20:24-25, the woodwork might in fact be regarded merely as the case of the altar on which the victims were actually burned. The shelf round the sides Exodus 27:5 was required as a stage for the priests to enable them to carry on their work conveniently on the top of the altar. Hence, it is said of Aaron that he came down from the altar Leviticus 9:22. According to rabbinical tradition, there was a slope of earth at the south side banked up for the priest to ascend to the stage (compare Exodus 20:26).

Exodus 27:9
「帳幕的外院」（The court of the tabernacle）——（參 Ex 38:9–20）
出埃及記二十七章9節
「南面、向南」（The south side southward）——即右邊的南面。見 Ex 26:18。
英文原文
The court of the tabernacle - (Compare Exodus 38:9-20)
Exodus 27:9
The south side southward - The south side on the right. See Exodus 26:18.
10
Exodus 27:10
「帶卯的座」（Sockets）——即底座。見 Ex 26:19。
「銀杆」（Fillets）——更恰當地作「連接桿」；即連接柱頭的銀質帷帳桿。帷帳藉銀鉤掛在柱子上；但柱與柱之間距離較長，因此極可能也以某種方式固定在這些桿上。
英文原文
Sockets - Bases. See Exodus 26:19.
Fillets - Rather, Connecting rods; curtain-rods of silver connecting the heads of the pillars. The hangings were attached to the pillars by the silver hooks; but the length of the space between the pillars would render it most probable that they were also in some way fastened to these rods.
13
Exodus 27:13
東面，就是東向——意即在朝東的前側。
英文原文
The east side eastward - On the front side eastward.
16
Exodus 27:16
簾子——即門簾。與院子兩側及後面的帷子不同，它可以隨意捲起或拉開。這兩個詞在我們聖經的 Numbers 3:26 中作了恰當的區分。
繡花的手工——即刺繡匠的工。見 Exodus 26:36; Exodus 35:35。至於材料，見 Exodus 25:4。
英文原文
An hanging - An entrance curtain, which, unlike the hangings at the sides and back of the court, could be drawn up, or aside, at pleasure. The words are rightly distinguished in our Bible in Numbers 3:26.
Wrought with nedlework - The work of the embroiderer. See Exodus 26:36; Exodus 35:35. On the materials, see Exodus 25:4.
17
Exodus 27:17
用銀子連接——即以銀杆相連。見 Exodus 27:10。
英文原文
Filleted with silver - Connected with silver rods. See Exodus 27:10,
19
Exodus 27:19
一切器具……——帳幕一切工作中所用的一切器具、帳幕的一切橛子，以及院子的一切橛子，都要用銅做。聖所的工作器具，大概就是斧、刀、錘之類，用於建造、修理、支搭和拆卸那結構。比較 Numbers 3:36。
帳幕——這字在此須理解為同時包括 משׁכן mı̂shkān 和罩棚，如在 Numbers 1:51, Numbers 1:53 等（見 Exodus 26:1 註釋）。
橛子——即帳幕的橛子。
英文原文
All the vessels ... - All the tools of the tabernacle used in all its workmanship, and all its tent-pins, and all the tent-pins of the court, shall be of bronze. The working tools of the sanctuary were most probably such things as axes, knives, hammers, etc. that were employed in making, repairing, setting up and taking down the structure. Compare Numbers 3:36.
The tabernacle - The word is here to be taken as including both the משׁכן mı̂shkân and the tent, as in Numbers 1:51, Numbers 1:53, etc. (see Exodus 26:1 note).
The pins - tent-pins.
20
Exodus 27:20
搗成的清橄欖油——油要用品質最佳的。它稱為「搗成的」，因為是在臼或磨中僅憑壓碎橄欖取得，不加熱力。時至今日，上等的油仍是這樣從新摘的青果中取得；次等的則從未經揀選的果實中以更強的壓力並加熱壓出。
燈——即金燈臺上的燈（見 Exodus 25:37）。
常常點著——見旁註「常常上升」。應當注意，這字的本義並非「燒盡」意義上的焚燒，而是慣常用來表達火在獻給耶和華之物上所起作用的字（見 Leviticus 1:9）。
常常——即每天夜裏「從晚上到早晨」。比較 Exodus 30:8。
英文原文
Pure oil olive beaten - The oil was to be of the best kind. It is called beaten, because it was obtained by merely bruising the olives in a mortar or mill, without the application of heat. The finest oil is now thus obtained from young fruit freshly gathered. The inferior kind is pressed from unselected fruit under stronger pressure, and with the application of heat.
The lamp - i. e. the lamps of the golden candlestick. (See Exodus 25:37.)
To burn - See the margin "to ascend up." It should be observed that the word does not properly mean to burn in the sense of to consume, but is the word regularly used to express the action of fire upon what was offered to Yahweh (see Leviticus 1:9).
Always - i. e. every night "from evening until morning." Compare Exodus 30:8.
21
Exodus 27:21
會幕——更直譯為「相會之幕」。這是會幕首次得此名稱；與之相連的觀念是：耶和華在此與摩西或眾祭司相會，間或也與聚集在幕門口的全會眾相會。
在法櫃前的幔子外——即聖所（見 Exodus 25:16）。
英文原文
The tabernacle of the congregation - More literally, the tent of meeting. This is the first occurrence of this designation of the tabernacle, and the idea connected with it is that of Yahweh meeting with either Moses, or the priests, or (in a few cases) with the people gathered into a congregation at the entrance of the tent.
Without the rail, which is before the testimony - i. e. the holy place (see Exodus 25:16).
「壇的角要與壇接連一塊」——這些角是向上突出的部分，形狀或如小方尖碑，或如牛角。它們是壇實際的一部分，並非外加其上。贖罪祭的血要抹在角上（出二十九12；利四7、八15、九9、十六18）。抓住壇角，看來被視為一種強調的方式，用以主張那假定的庇護權（出二十一14註；王上一50）。
