The Bronze Altar

27:1 “You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits broad. The altar shall be square, and its height shall be three cubits.

2 And you shall make horns for it on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it, and you shall overlay it with bronze.

3 You shall make pots for it to receive its ashes, and shovels and basins and forks and fire pans. You shall make all its utensils of bronze.

4 You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze, and on the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.

5 And you shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net extends halfway down the altar.

6 And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.

7 And the poles shall be put through the rings, so that the poles are on the two sides of the altar when it is carried.
