The Altar

13 “These are the measurements of the altar in cubits using the long measurement[a]: There was a gutter all the way around the base of the altar. It was 1 cubit[b] deep, and each side was 1 cubit wide. There was a rim around the edge 1 span[c] high. This is how tall the altar was: 14 From the ground to the lower ledge, the base measured 2 cubits.[d] It was 1 cubit wide. It measured 4 cubits[e] from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge. It was 2 cubits wide. 15 The place for the fire on the altar was 4 cubits high. The four corners were shaped like horns.
