Furthermore thou shalt make an Altar [a]for sweet perfume, of Shittim wood thou shalt make it.

The length thereof a cubit, and the breadth thereof a cubit, (it shall be foursquare) and the height thereof two cubits: the horns thereof shall be [b]of the same.

And thou shalt overlay it with fine gold, both the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and his horns: also thou shalt make unto it [c]a crown of gold round about.

Besides this thou shalt make under this crown two golden rings on either side: even on every side shalt thou make them, that they may be as places for the bars to bear it withal.
