Exodus 27:1–8

THE ALTAR OF BURNT OFFERING

27 “Youh are to construct the altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, 7½ feet long, and 7½ feet wide;C it must be 4½ feet high.D 2 Make horns for it on its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece.E Overlay it with bronze.i 3 Make its pots for removing ashes, and its shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; make all its utensils of bronze. 4 Construct a grate for it of bronze mesh, and make four bronze rings on the mesh at its four corners. 5 Set it below, under the altar’s ledge,* so that the mesh comes halfway upG the altar. 6 Then make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze. 7 The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried. 8 Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. They are to make it just as it was shown to you on the mountain.j
