1 He made the altar for the burnt offering of acacia wood seven feet six inches long and seven feet six inches wide--it was square--and its height was four feet six inches.

2 He made its horns on its four corners; its horns were part of it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

3 He made all the utensils of the altar--the pots, the shovels, the tossing bowls, the meat hooks, and the fire pans--he made all its utensils of bronze.

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

5 He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, to provide places for the poles.

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

7 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made the altar hollow, out of boards.
