Exodus 38:1-7
World English Bible
38 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square. Its length was five cubits,[a] its width was five cubits, and its height was three cubits. 2 He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 He made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its vessels of bronze. 4 He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. 5 He cast four rings for the four corners of bronze grating, to be 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 it hollow with planks.

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.
