Instructions for the Bronze Altar

Exodus 27:1-8

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

You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it; and you shall overlay it with brass.

You shall make its pots to take away its ashes, its shovels, its basins, its flesh hooks, and its fire pans: all its vessels you shall make of brass.

You shall make a grating for it of network of brass: and on the net you shall make four bronze rings in its four corners.

You shall put it under the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar.

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

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

You shall make it with hollow planks. They shall make it as it has been shown you on the mountain.
