¶ And these [are] the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit [is] a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom [shall be] a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about [shall be] a span: and this [shall be] the higher place of the altar.

And these are the measures {H4060} of the altar {H4196} after the cubits {H520}: The cubit {H520} is a cubit {H520} and an hand breadth {H2948}; even the bottom {H2436} shall be a cubit {H520}, and the breadth {H7341} a cubit {H520}, and the border {H1366} thereof by the edge {H8193} thereof round about {H5439} shall be a {H259} span {H2239}: and this shall be the higher place {H1354} of the altar {H4196}.

These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (a cubit here is defined as a normal cubit [eighteen inches] plus a handbreadth [three inches]): the base, one cubit [twenty-one inches] deep and one cubit wide; with the molding surrounding it at its rim about a hand-span [nine inches] in width. The height of the altar is thus:

These are the measurements of the altar in long cubits (a cubit and a handbreadth): Its gutter shall be a cubit deep and a cubit wide, with a rim of one span around its edge. And this is the height of the altar:

And these are the measures of the altar by cubits (the cubit is a cubit and a handbreadth): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about a span; and this shall be the base of the altar.
