1. And he made the altar of burnt offering [of] shittim wood: five cubits [was] the length thereof, and five cubits the breadth thereof; [it was] foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof. 2. And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass. 3. And he made all the vessels of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basons, [and] the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he [of] brass. 4. And he made for the altar a brasen grate of network under the compass thereof beneath unto the midst of it. 5. And he cast four rings for the four ends of the grate of brass, [to be] places for the staves. 6. And he made the staves [of] shittim wood, and overlaid them with brass. 7. And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards. 8. And he made the laver [of] brass, and the foot of it [of] brass, of the lookingglasses of [the women] assembling, which assembled [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
