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.”

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: 14 from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits, with a breadth of one cubit; and from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits, with a breadth of one cubit; 15 and the altar hearth, four cubits; and from the altar hearth projecting upward, (C)four horns. 16 The altar hearth shall be (D)square, twelve cubits long by twelve broad. 17 The ledge also shall be square, fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad, with a rim around it half a cubit broad, and its base one cubit all around. (E)The steps of the altar shall face east.”
