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:

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

² Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

³ And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

⁴ And make a network of brass, with four brass rings at its four angles.

⁵ And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

⁶ And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

⁷ And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

⁸ The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

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

⁵ And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

⁸ And I saw that the house had a stone floor all round; the bases of the side-rooms were a full rod of six great cubits high.
