Exodus 38
1 [Several men helped] Bezalel to make the altar for burning sacrifices. They made it from acacia wood. It was square, (7-1/2 feet/2.2 meters) on each side, and it was (4-1/2 feet/1.3 meters) high.
He made also the auter of brent sacrifice of the trees of Sechym, of fyue cubitis bi square, and of thre cubitis in heiythe;
2 They made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar [was made of]. They covered the whole altar with bronze.
whose hornes camen forth of the corneris, and he hilide it with platis of bras.
3 They made the pans in which to put the greasy ashes [from the animal sacrifices]. They also made the shovels for cleaning out the ashes. They made the basins and forks for turning the meat as it cooked, and buckets for carrying hot coals/ashes. All of those things were made from bronze.
And in to vsis therof he made redi of bras dyuerse vessels, caudruns, tongis, fleischhokis, hokis, and `resseittis of firis.
4 They also made a bronze grating to hold the wood and burning coals. They put the grating under the rim that went around the altar. [They] made it so that it was [inside the altar], halfway down.
He made also the brasun gridile therof, `bi the maner of a net, and a `panne for colis vndur it, in the myddis of the auter.
5 They made bronze rings in which to put the poles [for carrying the altar], and fastened one of them to each of the corners of the altar.
And he yetide foure ryngis, by so many endis of the gridile, to putte in the barris to bere;
6 They made the poles from acacia wood and covered them with bronze.
and he made tho same barris of the trees of Sechym, and hilide with platis of bras.
7 They put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar. The poles were for carrying the altar.
And ledde in to the serclis that stonden forth in the sidis of the auter. Forsothe thilke auter was not sad, but holowe of the bildyngis of tablis, and voide with ynne.
8 The altar was [hollow] like an empty box. It was made from boards [of acacia wood]. They made/cast the washbasin and its base from bronze. The bronze was from the mirrors that belonged to the women who worked at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
He made also a `greet waischyng vessel of bras, with his foundement, of the myrours of wymmen that wakiden in the `greet street of the tabernacle.
9 [Around the Sacred Tent] Bezalel and his helpers made a courtyard. To form the courtyard, they made curtains of fine white linen. On the south side, the curtain was (150 feet/46 meters) long.
And he made the greet street, in whose south coost weren tentis of bijs foldid ayen, of an hundrid cubitis, twenti brasun pilers with her foundementis,
