Exodus 27:1-8

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Altar^(A)

27 ⌞The Lord continued,⌟ “Make an altar out of acacia wood. It should be 7½ feet square, and 4½ feet high. ² Make a horn at each of its four corners. The four horns and the altar must be made out of one piece ⌞of wood⌟ covered with bronze.

³ “Make all the utensils for it out of bronze: pots for taking away the altar’s ashes, also shovels, bowls, forks, and incense burners.

⁴ “Make a grate for it out of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring for ⌞each of⌟ the four corners of the grate. ⁵ Put the grate under the ledge of the altar so that it comes halfway up the altar.

⁶ “Make poles out of acacia wood for the altar, and cover them with bronze. ⁷ The poles should be put through the rings on both sides of the altar to carry it.

⁸ “Make the altar out of boards so that it’s hollow inside. It must be made just as you were shown on the mountain.
