Ezekiel 43:13-15
New International Version - UK
The great altar restored
13 ‘These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits,[a] that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a kerb of one span[b] around the edge. And this is the height of the altar: 14 from the gutter on the ground up to the lower ledge that goes round the altar it is two cubits high, and the ledge is a cubit wide.[c] From this lower ledge to the upper ledge that goes round the altar it is four cubits high, and that ledge is also a cubit wide.[d] 15 Above that, the altar hearth is four cubits high, and four horns project upwards from the hearth.
