Dimensions of the Altar

¹³ “These are the measurements of the ^(A)altar in cubits ^(B)(the ^[a]cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar:

⁸ I also saw an elevation all around the temple; it was the foundation of the side chambers, ^(A)a full rod, that is, six cubits high.

⁵ Now there was ^(A)a wall all around the outside of the ^[a]temple. In the man’s hand was a measuring rod six ^[b]cubits long, each being a cubit and a handbreadth; and he measured the width of the wall structure, one rod; and the height, one rod.

Furnishings of the Temple^(A)

4 Moreover he made ^(B)a bronze altar: twenty cubits was its length, twenty cubits its width, and ten cubits its height.

The Altar of Burnt Offering^(A)

27 “You shall make ^(B)an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide—the altar shall be square—and its height shall be three cubits. ² You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with bronze. ³ Also you shall make its pans to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ You shall make a grate for it, a network of bronze; and on the network you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners. ⁵ You shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, that the network may be midway up the altar. ⁶ And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. ⁷ The poles shall be put in the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar to bear it. ⁸ You shall make it hollow with boards; ^(C)as it was shown you on the mountain, so shall they make it.
