1 Next Bezalel used acacia wood to construct the square altar of burnt offering. It was 7 1 / 2 feet wide, 7 1 / 2 feet long, and 4 1 / 2 feet high. 2 He made horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar were all one piece. He overlaid the altar with bronze. 3 Then he made all the altar utensils of bronze—the ash buckets, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans. 4 Next he made a bronze grating and installed it halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge. 5 He cast four rings and attached them to the corners of the bronze grating to hold the carrying poles. 6 He made the poles from acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 He inserted the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar. The altar was hollow and was made from planks. Exodus 38:1-7, New Living Translation. Copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
