Exodus 27:1-9

1Use acacia wood to make an altar. It must be square, 2.2 metres long and 2.2 metres wide. It must be 1.3 metres high.

2Make four horns, one at each corner of the altar. The horns and the altar itself must be one piece of work. Then cover the whole altar with bronze.

3Make all the tools for the altar with bronze. Make pots to remove the ashes, spades and bowls. Make forks for the meat. Make dishes to carry the fire.

4Use bronze to make a square net and rings at each corner.

5Fix this net inside the altar, in the middle, between the top of the altar and the ground.

6Use acacia wood to make poles for the altar. Cover them with bronze.

7You must put the poles through the rings when you carry the altar. There will be a pole on each of two sides of the altar.

8Use boards to make the altar, so that it is empty inside. You must make it in the way that the Lord showed you on the mountain.

9Make a yard around the tent of the tabernacle. The south side must be 45 metres long. It will have curtains that are made of good linen.
