1 Make an altar of acacia wood. It is to be square and measure five cubits long by five cubits wide by three cubits high. 2 Make horns for each of its corners, all one piece with the altar, and cover the whole altar with bronze.
3 Make all its utensils of bronze: buckets for removing ashes, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans. 4 Make a bronze mesh grate for it with a bronze ring on each of its corners. 5 Put the grate under the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway down the altar. 6 Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and cover them with bronze. 7 The poles are to be placed in the rings so that the poles are on either side of the altar when it is carried. 8 Make the altar hollow, using boards, just as you were shown on the mountain.
