The Altar
13 “These are the measurements of the altar[a]: There is a gutter all around the altar 21 inches deep and 21 inches wide,[b] with a curb 9 inches[c] wide around its edge. And this is the height[d] of the altar: 14 From the gutter the altar rises 3 1⁄2 feet[e] to a lower ledge that surrounds the altar and is 21 inches[f] wide. From the lower ledge the altar rises 7 feet[g] to the upper ledge that is also 21 inches wide. 15 The top of the altar, the hearth, rises another 7 feet higher, with a horn rising up from each of the four corners. 16 The top of the altar is square, measuring 21 feet by 21 feet.[h] 17 The upper ledge also forms a square, measuring 24 1⁄2 feet by 24 1⁄2 feet,[i] with a 21-inch gutter and a 10 1⁄2-inch curb[j] all around the edge. There are steps going up the east side of the altar.”

Living Bible
13 “And these are the measurements of the altar: The base is 21 inches high, with a 9-inch rim around its edge, and it extends 21 inches beyond the altar on all sides. 14 The first stage of the altar is a stone platform 3-1/2 feet high. This platform is 21 inches narrower than the base block on all sides. Rising from this is a narrower platform, 21 inches narrower on all sides, and 7 feet high. 15 From it a still narrower platform rises 7 feet, and this is the top of the altar, with four horns projecting 21 inches up from the corners. 16 This top platform of the altar is 21 feet square. 17 The platform beneath it is 24-1/2 feet square with a 10-1/2-inch curb around the edges. The entire platform extends out from the top 21 inches on all sides. On the east side are steps to climb the altar.”
