The Bronze Altar

27 “And you shall make ^(A)the altar of acacia wood, five ^[a]cubits long and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. ² You shall make ^(B)its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be ^[b]of the same piece, and you shall overlay it with ^[c]bronze. ³ You shall make its pots for removing its ashes, and its shovels and its bowls and its flesh hooks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ You shall make for it a grating, a network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings ^[d]at its four corners. ⁵ You shall put it beneath, under the ledge of the altar, so that the net will reach halfway down the altar. ⁶ You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. ⁷ Its poles shall be inserted into the rings, so that the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar ^(C)when it is carried. ⁸ You shall make it hollow with planks; ^(D)as it was shown to you in the mountain, so they shall make it.
