The Altar of Burnt Offering
1 “Build an altar of acacia wood, three cubits[a] high; it is to be square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.[b]
2
Make a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar are of one piece, and overlay the altar with bronze.
3
Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots to remove the ashes, and its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans.
4
Make a grating for it, a bronze network, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the network.
5
Put it under the ledge of the altar so that it is halfway up the altar.
6
Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.
7
The poles are to be inserted into the rings so they will be on two sides of the altar when it is carried.
8
Make the altar hollow, out of boards. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.
