Exodus 27:1-8

Christian Standard Bible

The Altar of Burnt Offering

27 “You^(A) are to construct the altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, 7½ feet long, and 7½ feet wide;^[a] it must be 4½ feet 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. ⁷ The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried. ⁸ Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. They are to make it just as it was shown to you on the mountain.^(C)
