Bezalel made the altar burnt offering from acacia wood. It was square and measured five cubits long by five cubits wide by three cubits high.

4 And he made for the altar a grating, a network of copper, under its compass beneath, even unto the half of it.

6 And he made the staves of shittim wood, and overlaid them with copper.

He made poles of acacia wood for the altar and covered them with bronze.

7 And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it by means of them; hollow, of boards, made he it.

He put the poles through the rings on either side of the altar so it could be carried. He made the altar hollow, using boards.

8 And he made the laver of copper, and its foot of copper, of the mirrors of the assembled women who had assembled in troops at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
