Exodus 38:1-7
Modern English Version
Making the Altar of Burnt Offering(A)
38 He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was five cubits[a] long and five cubits wide. It was square, and it was three cubits high.[b] 2 He made its horns on its four corners. The horns were part of the same piece, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3 He made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, the flesh hooks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze. 4 He made for the altar a bronze grating, a network beneath, under its ledge, reaching halfway up. 5 He cast four rings for the four ends of the bronze grating to provide places for the poles. 6 He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar with which to carry it. He made the altar hollow, out of boards.
