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

2 He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze.

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

3 He made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its utensils of bronze.

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 He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up.

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

5 He cast four rings for the four ends of bronze grating, to be places for the poles.

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

6 He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze.

The rods he made of hard wood plated with brass.

7 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

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.

8 He made the basin of bronze, and its base of bronze, out of the mirrors of the ministering women who ministered at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of the Tent of meeting.
