Ezekiel 43:13-17
International Standard Version
The Altar
13 “Here are the measurements of the altar in cubits that were a cubit and a handbreadth[a] long: its base is a cubit[b] long and a cubit[c] wide, and its border around the edge at one handbreadth[d] is to be the height of the altar. 14 From the base on the ground to its lower edge is to be two cubits,[e] with its width to be one cubit.[f] From the lesser ledge to the larger edge is to be four cubits.[g] Its width is to be one cubit.[h] 15 The hearth is to be four cubits high,[i] and four horns are to extend upwards from the hearth. 16 The hearth is to be twelve cubits[j] long and twelve cubits[k] wide; that is, it will be a four-sided square. 17 It is to have a ledge fourteen cubits[l] long by fourteen cubits[m] wide around the four sides. Its border is to be half a cubit[n] and its base is to be a cubit[o] all around, with its steps facing east.”

Lexham English Bible
13 And these are the measurements of the altar in the cubits[a] (a cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth):[b] now its gutter[c] is a cubit[d] in depth by a cubit[e] in width[f] and its rim along its edge all around is one span,[g] and this is also the height of the altar. 14 And from the gutter[h] at the ground up to the lower ledge is two cubits,[i] and its width is one cubit,[j] and from the small ledge up to the large ledge is four cubits,[k] and its width is one cubit. 15 And the altar hearth was four cubits,[l] and from the altar hearth and upwards[m] were the four horns of the altar. 16 And the altar hearth was twelve[n] cubits in length and twelve[o] cubits in width[p]; it was squared on its four sides.[q] 17 And the ledge was fourteen[r] cubits in length with fourteen[s] cubits its width[t] to all four of its sides, and a rim was all around it of one-half cubit.[u] And the gutter[v] for it was a cubit[w] all around, and its steps were facing east.”
