Context of Exodus 38:3

1Bezalel used acacia wood to build the altar for burnt offerings. It was square, 2.2 metres long and 2.2 metres wide. It was 1.3 metres high. 2He made four horns, one at each corner of the altar. The horns and the altar itself were one piece of work. He covered the whole altar with bronze. He made all the tools for the altar with bronze. He made pots to remove the ashes, and also spades and bowls. He made forks for the meat and dishes to carry the fire. 4He used bronze to make a square net for the altar. He fixed it inside the altar, in the middle between the top and the ground. 5He used bronze to make four rings. He fixed them to the four corners of the net. The poles would go through these rings.
