¹ And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

¹ The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,

² And he put horns at its four angles made of the same, plating it all with brass;

³ And brass was used for all the vessels of the altar, the baskets and the spades, the basins and the meat-hooks and the fire-trays; all the vessels he made of brass

⁴ And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;

⁵ And four rings for the four angles of this network, to take the rods.

⁶ The rods he made of hard wood plated with brass.

⁷ He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

²⁴ Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.

²⁵ And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.

²⁶ And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.

⁴ Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁰ And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

²⁹ And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

¹⁸ And that day Gad came to David and said to him, Go up, and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

¹ Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

¹³ And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure;) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:

¹⁴ And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.

¹⁵ And the fireplace is four cubits high: and coming up from the fireplace are the horns, a cubit high.

¹⁶ And the fireplace is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, square on its four sides.

¹⁷ And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.

¹⁰ We have an altar from which those priests who are servants in the Tent may not take food.
