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

2And 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.

3You shall make its pots for removing its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its forks, and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze.

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

5And you shall put it under the ledge of the altar from below, and the net shall extend to halfway up the altar.

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

7Its poles shall be put into the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.

8You shall make it hollow, with boards; as it was shown to you on the mountain, so shall they make it.
