Exodus 27:1-8

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[1] "You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and its height shall be three cubits. [2] You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it; and you shall overlay it with brass. [3] You shall make its pots to take away its ashes, its shovels, its basins, its flesh hooks, and its fire pans: all its vessels you shall make of brass. [4] You shall make a grating for it of network of brass: and on the net you shall make four brazen rings in its four corners. [5] You shall put it under the ledge around the altar beneath, that the net may reach halfway up the altar. [6] You shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with brass. [7] Its poles shall be put into the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar, when carrying it. [8] Hollow with planks shall you make it: as it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall they make it.
