The Altar for Burnt Offerings

38 Then he made the altar for burnt offerings of acacia wood. It was a square, five cubits^[a] long and five cubits^[b] wide, and it was three cubits^[c] high. ² He made horns^[d] on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. ³ He made all the utensils for the altar—the pans, the shovels, the bowls, the forks, and the fire-pans—and he made all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ He made a lattice, a netting of bronze, for the altar. It was under its ledge, extending halfway up. ⁵ He cast four rings on the four ends of the bronze lattice as holders for the poles. ⁶ He made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. ⁷ And he put the poles through rings on the sides of the altar to carry it.^[e] He made it hollow, out of boards.

The Bronze Basin

⁸ He made the bronze basin and its bronze base from^[f] mirrors contributed by the women who served at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

Their tops were overlaid with silver, and all the pillars of the court were banded with silver. ¹⁸ The screen of the gate of the court was the work of an embroiderer of blue, purple, and scarlet material, and fine woven linen.
