Exodus 27:1-9

1“Using acacia wood, construct a square altar 7-1/2 feet wide, 7-1/2 feet long, and 4-1/2 feet high.

2Make horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar are all one piece. Overlay the altar with bronze.

3Make ash buckets, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans, all of bronze.

4Make a bronze grating for it, and attach four bronze rings at its four corners.

5Install the grating halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge.

6For carrying the altar, make poles from acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.

7Insert the poles through the rings on the two sides of the altar.

8The altar must be hollow, made from planks. Build it just as you were shown on the mountain.

9“Then make the courtyard for the Tabernacle, enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side, make the curtains 150 feet long.
