Exodus 27:1-8 ▼

1 You shall make an altar of acacia wood, on a square, five cubits long and five cubits wide; it shall be three cubits high.

2 At the four corners make horns that are of one piece with the altar. You shall then plate it with bronze.

3 Make pots for removing the ashes, as well as shovels, basins, forks, and fire pans; all these utensils you shall make of bronze.

4 Make for it a grating, a bronze network; make four bronze rings for it, one at each of its four corners.

5 Put it down around the altar, on the ground. This network is to be half as high as the altar.

6 You shall also make poles of acacia wood for the altar, and plate them with bronze.

7 These poles are to be put through the rings, so that they are on either side of the altar when it is carried.

8 Make the altar itself in the form of a hollow box. Just as it was shown you on the mountain, so it is to be made.
