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.”

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.”
