The Altar of Burnt Offering

1 “You shall make ^aan altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide—the altar shall be square—and its height shall be three cubits.

2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with bronze.

3 Also you shall make its pans to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze.

4 You shall make a grate for it, a network of bronze; and on the network you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.

5 You shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, that the network may be midway up the altar.

6 And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.
