Exodus 27:1-8

The Voice

27 Eternal One: Make the altar of burnt offering from acacia wood. It should be square and measure seven and a half feet by seven and a half feet. Make it four and a half feet high. ² Construct it with horns on each of the four corners so that the top forms one whole piece, and overlay it with bronze. ³ Fashion buckets and shovels for the ashes, basins, forks, and fire pans out of bronze. ⁴ Make a grate out of bronze, and attach four bronze rings at each of its four corners. ⁵ Place the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, halfway up from the base. ⁶ Make poles out of acacia wood for the altar, and overlay them with bronze. ⁷ Slide the poles through the rings on both sides of the altar so that it can be moved. ⁸ Make the altar out of wooden planks, and make it hollow—exactly like the pattern you were shown on the mountain.
