and a cubit shall hang on [the] one part, and the tother cubit on the tother part, which cubit is more in the length of [the] says, and it shall cover ever either side of the tabernacle.

Forsooth thou shalt burn without(forth) (of) the tents the flesh of the calf, and the skin, and the dung, for it is slain for sin. (But the calf’s flesh, and its skin, and its dung, thou shalt burn away from the tents, for it is a sin offering.)
