Exodus 38:1-7

New International Reader's Version

The Altar for Burnt Offerings

38 The workers built the altar for burnt offerings out of acacia wood. It was four feet six inches high and seven feet six inches square. ² They made a horn stick out from each of its four upper corners. They covered the altar with bronze. ³ They made all its tools out of bronze. They made its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and pans for carrying ashes. ⁴ They made a bronze grate for the altar. They put the grate halfway up the altar on the inside. ⁵ They made a bronze ring for each of the four corners of the grate. ⁶ They made poles out of acacia wood. They covered them with bronze. ⁷ They put the poles through the rings. The poles were on two sides of the altar for carrying it. The workers made the altar out of boards. They left it hollow.
