Exodus 38:1-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Altar for Burnt Offerings^(A)

38 He made the altar for burnt offerings out of acacia wood 7½ feet square and 4½ feet high. ² He made a horn at each of its four corners. He made the four horns and the altar out of one piece ⌞of wood⌟ covered with bronze.

³ He made all the utensils out of bronze: pots, shovels, bowls, forks, and incense burners.

⁴ He made a grate for the altar out of bronze mesh, ⌞and put it⌟ under the ledge, halfway up the altar. ⁵ He cast four rings to hold the poles (one for each of the four corners of the bronze grate). ⁶ He made the poles out of acacia wood and covered them with bronze. ⁷ He put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it. He made the altar out of boards so that it was hollow inside.
