Exodus 27:1-8 ▼

1 “You are to construct the altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, 7 1 /2 feet long, and 7 1 /2 feet wide; it must be 4 1 /2 feet high.

2 Make horns for it on its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece. Overlay it with bronze.

3 Make its pots for removing ashes, and its shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; make all its utensils of bronze.

4 Construct a grate for it of bronze mesh, and make four bronze rings on the mesh at its four corners.

5 Set it below, under the altar’s ledge, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.

6 Then make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.

7 The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.

8 Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. They are to make it just as it was shown to you on the mountain.
