Dimensions of the Altar

13 “These are the measurements of the (A)altar in cubits (B)(the [a]cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the height of the altar: 14 from the base on the ground to the lower ledge, two cubits; the width of the ledge, one cubit; from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge, four cubits; and the width of the ledge, one cubit. 15 The altar hearth is four cubits high, with four (C)horns extending upward from the [b]hearth. 16 The altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, (D)square at its four corners; 17 the ledge, fourteen cubits long and fourteen wide on its four sides, with a rim of half a cubit around it; its base, one cubit all around; and (E)its steps face toward the east.”
