1 The altar of holocausts was made of acacia wood, on a square, five cubits long and five cubits wide; its height was three cubits.1 And he made the altar of burnt offering of shittim wood: five cubits was the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.
2 At the four corners horns were made that sprang directly from the altar. The whole was plated with bronze.2 And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass.
3 All the utensils of the altar, the pots, shovels, basins, forks and fire pans, were likewise made of bronze.3 And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.
4 A grating of bronze network was made for the altar and placed round it, on the ground, half as high as the altar itself.4 And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it.
5 Four rings were cast for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles,5 And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, to be places for the staves.
6 which were made of acacia wood and plated with bronze.6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass.
7 The poles were put through the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. The altar was made in the form of a hollow box.7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.
8 The bronze laver, with its bronze base, was made from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the meeting tent.8 And he made the laver of brass, and the foot of it of brass, of the lookingglasses of the women assembling, which assembled at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
9 The court was made as follows. On the south side of the court there were hangings, woven of fine linen twined, a hundred cubits long,9 And he made the court: on the south side southward the hangings of the court were of fine twined linen, an hundred cubits:
