The Altar and Offerings
13 “And these are the measurements of the (A)altar by cubits (the (B)cubit being a [a]cubit and a [b]handbreadth): the [c]base shall be a cubit and the width a cubit, and its border on its edge round about one [d]span; and this shall be the height of the [e]base of the altar. 14 And from the base on the ground to the lower (C)ledge shall be two [f]cubits and the width one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits and the width [g]one cubit. 15 And the [h]altar hearth shall be four cubits; and from the [i]altar hearth shall extend upwards four (D)horns. 16 Now the [j]altar hearth shall be [k]twelve cubits long by twelve wide, (E)square in its four sides. 17 The ledge shall be [l]fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; the border around it shall be half a cubit, and its base shall be a cubit round about; and its (F)steps shall [m](G)face the east.”

The Great Altar Restored
13 “These are the measurements of the altar(A) in long cubits,[a] that cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth: Its gutter is a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span[b] around the edge. And this is the height of the altar: 14 From the gutter on the ground up to the lower ledge that goes around the altar it is two cubits high, and the ledge is a cubit wide.[c] From this lower ledge to the upper ledge that goes around the altar it is four cubits high, and that ledge is also a cubit wide.[d] 15 Above that, the altar hearth(B) is four cubits high, and four horns(C) project upward from the hearth. 16 The altar hearth is square, twelve cubits[e] long and twelve cubits wide.(D) 17 The upper ledge(E) also is square, fourteen cubits[f] long and fourteen cubits wide. All around the altar is a gutter of one cubit with a rim of half a cubit.[g] The steps(F) of the altar face east.(G)”
