Exodus 38:1-7
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Making the Altar of Burnt Offering
38 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood; it was five cubits long and five cubits wide; it was square and was three cubits high.(A) 2 He made horns for it on its four corners; its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 He made all the utensils of the altar: the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans; all its utensils he made of bronze. 4 He made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down. 5 He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating to hold the poles; 6 he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with them; he made it hollow, with boards.

International Standard Version
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.
