Exodus 38:1-7

Modern English Version

Making the Altar of Burnt Offering^(A)

38 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was five cubits^[a] long and five cubits wide. It was square, and it was three cubits high.^{[b] 2} He made its horns on its four corners. The horns were part of the same piece, and he overlaid it with bronze. ³ He made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh hooks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ He made for the altar a bronze grating, a network beneath, under its ledge, reaching halfway up. ⁵ He cast four rings for the four ends of the bronze grating to provide places for the poles. ⁶ He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. ⁷ He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar with which to carry it. He made the altar hollow, out of boards.
