Exodus 27:1-8

New International Reader's Version

The Altar for Burnt Offerings

27 “Build an altar out of acacia wood. It must be four feet six inches high and seven feet six inches square. ² Make a horn stick out from each of its upper four corners. The horns and the altar must be all one piece. Cover the altar with bronze. ³ Make everything for the altar out of bronze. Make its pots to remove the ashes. Make its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and pans for carrying ashes. ⁴ Make a bronze grate for the altar. Make a bronze ring for each of the four corners of the grate. ⁵ Put the grate halfway up the altar on the inside. ⁶ Make poles out of acacia wood for the altar. Cover them with bronze. ⁷ Put the poles through the rings. They will be on two sides of the altar for carrying it. ⁸ Make the altar out of boards. Leave it hollow. It must look just like what I showed you on the mountain.
