The Making of the Altar for the Burnt Offering

38 Bezalel^[a] made the altar for the burnt offering of acacia wood 7½ feet long and 7½ feet wide—it was square—and its height was 4½ feet. ² He made its horns on its four corners; its horns were part of it,^[b] and he overlaid it with bronze. ³ He made all the utensils of the altar—the pots, the shovels, the tossing bowls, the meat hooks, and the fire pans—he made all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ He made a grating for the altar, a network of bronze under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom. ⁵ He cast four rings for the four corners 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^[c] hollow, out of boards.
