The Altar

¹³ “These are the measurements of ^(A)the altar by cubits (the cubit being ^(B)a cubit and a handbreadth):^[a] its base shall be one cubit high^[b] and one cubit broad, with a rim of one span^[c] around its edge. And this shall be the height of the altar:

⁸ I saw also that the temple had a raised platform all around; the foundations of the side chambers measured a full reed of ^(A)six long cubits.

The East Gate to the Outer Court

⁵ And behold, there was ^(A)a wall all around the outside of the temple area, and the length of the measuring reed in the man's hand was six long cubits, ^(B)each being a cubit and a handbreadth^[a] in length. So he measured the thickness of the wall, one reed; and the height, one reed.

The Temple's Furnishings

4 He made ^(A)an altar of bronze, twenty cubits^[a] long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

The Bronze Altar

27 “You shall make the ^(A)altar of acacia wood, five cubits^[a] long and five cubits broad. The altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits. ² And you shall make ^(B)horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and ^(C)you shall overlay it with bronze. ³ You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and ^(D)forks and fire pans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. ⁵ And you shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net extends halfway down the altar. ⁶ And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. ⁷ And the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried. ⁸ You shall make it hollow, with boards. ^(E)As it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made.
