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

The Altar
13 “These are the dimensions of the altar by cubits (the cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth): its base shall be one cubit high,[a] and one cubit broad, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this shall be the height[b] 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, four horns, one cubit high.[c] 16 The altar hearth shall be 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 round about. The steps of the altar shall face east.”
