Exodus 38:1-8

1Bezalel constructedH62131 the altarH4196 of burnt offeringH5930 from acaciaH7848 woodH6086. It was squareH7251, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 longH753, fiveH2568 cubitsH520 wideH7341, and threeH7969 cubitsH520 highH6967.2 2He madeH6213 a hornH7161 at each ofH5921 its fourH702 cornersH6438, so that the hornsH7161 and altar wereH1961 of one pieceH4480, and he overlaidH6823 the altar with bronzeH5178.

3He madeH6213 allH3605 the altar’sH4196 utensilsH3627 of bronzeH5178—its potsH5518, shovelsH3257, sprinkling bowlsH4219, meat forksH4207, and firepansH4289. 4He madeH6213 a grateH4345 of bronzeH5178 meshH7568 for the altarH4196H4639 underH8478 its ledgeH3749, halfwayH2677 up from the bottomH4295H5704.

5At the fourH702 cornersH7117 of the bronzeH5178 grateH4345 he castH3332 fourH702 ringsH2885 as holdersH1004 for the polesH905. 6And he madeH6213 the polesH905 of acaciaH7848 woodH6086 and overlaidH6823 themH853 with bronzeH5178. 7Then he insertedH935 the polesH905 into the ringsH2885 onH5921 the sidesH6763 of the altarH4196 for carryingH5375 itH853. He madeH6213 the altar with boardsH3871 so that it was hollowH5014.

8Next he madeH6213 the bronzeH5178 basinH3595 and its standH3653H5178 from the mirrorsH4759 of the women whoH834H6633 servedH6633 at the entranceH6607 to the TentH168 of MeetingH4150.
