The altar for the holocaust

1. You shall also make the altar of acacia wood; five cubits will be its length, and five cubits its width; the altar will be square, and its height will be three cubits.
2. And you shall make its horns at its four corners; their ends will be the same; and you shall cover it with bronze.
3. And you shall make their pans to gather their ashes, and their shovels, and their basins, and their forks, and their braziers; you shall make all its utensils of bronze.
4. You will also make a bronze fence for it in the form of a net; and upon the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.
5. And you shall place it under the ornament of the altar, so that the net reaches to the middle of the altar.
6. You shall also make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.
7. And the poles shall be put into the rings, so that the poles will be on one side of the altar when it is carried.
8. You will make the altar of boards; the altar will be hollow; as it was shown to you on the mountain, so they will do.
