27 1 The Altar of the burnt offering. 9 The courts of the Tabernacle. 20 The lamps continually burning.

Moreover thou shalt make the [a]Altar of Shittim wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad (the altar shall be four square) and the height thereof three cubits.

And thou shalt make it horns in the four corners thereof: the horns shall be of [b]itself, and thou shalt cover it with brass.

Also thou shalt make his ash pans for his ashes, and his besoms, and his basins, and his flesh-hooks, and his [c]censers: thou shalt make all the instruments thereof of brass.

And thou shalt make unto it a grate, like network of brass: also upon that [d]grate shalt thou make four brazen rings upon the four corners thereof.

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the grate may be in the midst of the altar.

Also thou shalt make bars for the altar, bars, I say, of Shittim wood, and shalt cover them with brass.

And the bars thereof shall be put in the rings, the which bars shall be upon the two sides of the altar to bear it.

Thou shalt make the altar hollow between the boards: as God showeth thee in the mount, so shall they make it.
