Exodus 38:1-11 ▼

1 Bezalel constructed \He constructed/ the altar of burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high <7.5 ft x 7.5 ft x 4.5 ft / 2.3 m x 2.3 m x 1.4 m>.

2 He made a horn at each of its four corners, so that the horns and altar were of one piece, and he overlaid the altar with bronze.

3 He made all the altar’s utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.

4 He made a grate of bronze mesh for the altar under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom.

5 At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles.

6 And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.

7 Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar with boards so that it was hollow.

8 Next he made the bronze basin and its stand from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

9 Then he constructed the courtyard. The south side of the courtyard was a hundred cubits long <150 ft / 45.7 m> and had curtains of finely spun linen,

10 with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

11 The north side was also a hundred cubits long, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases. The hooks and bands of the posts were silver.
