The Altar of Burnt Offering

27 ‘You^(A) are to construct the altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, 2.25 metres long, and 2.25 metres wide;^[a] it must be 1.35 metres high.^{[b] 2} Make horns for it on its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece.^[c] Overlay it with bronze.^{(B) 3} Make its pots for removing ashes, and its shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; make all its utensils of bronze. ⁴ Construct a grate for it of bronze mesh, and make four bronze rings on the mesh at its four corners. ⁵ Set it below, under the altar’s ledge,^[d] so that the mesh comes halfway up^[e] the altar. ⁶ Then make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.
