¹ And he made the altar of the burnt offering of acacia wood; five cubits its length and five cubits its width, square; and its height was three cubits.² And he made its horns on its four corners; its horns were of it. And he overlaid it with bronze.³ And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots and the shovels and the sacrificial bowls, the fleshhooks and the firepans. He made all its vessels of bronze.⁴ And he made a network of bronze grating for the altar, from below under its ledge, as far as its middle.⁵ And he cast four rings in its four ends to the bronze grating, housings for the poles.⁶ And he made the poles of acacia wood; and he overlaid them with bronze.⁷ And he put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, to lift it with them. He made it hollow with planks.⁸ And he made the laver bronze, and its base bronze, from the mirrors of the serving women, those assembling, who served at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
