Exodus 38:1-7

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Altar for Sacrifices

38 He made the altar for burnt offerings from acacia wood. It was square, seven and a half feet long and seven and a half feet wide. It was four and a half feet high. ² He made horns on its four corners. These horns were made as one piece with the altar, and he overlaid the altar with bronze. ³ He made all the utensils for the altar—the pails, the shovels, the basins, the meat hooks,^[a] and the fire pans—of bronze. ⁴ He made a grate for it, which was a latticework of bronze, and he made four bronze rings for the four corners of the latticework grate. ⁵ He set the grate in place below the top edge of the altar, so that the grate rested halfway down from the top of the altar.^{[b] 6} He made poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. ⁷ He put these poles through the rings on two sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar hollow. Its sides were made of boards.
