The Altar of Burnt Offering

"Using acacia wood, make a square altar 7½ feet wide, and three feet high. Make horns for the four corners of the altar, attach them firmly, and overlay everything with bronze. The ash buckets, shovels, basins, carcass-hooks, and fire pans are all to be made of bronze. Make a bronze grating, with a metal ring at each corner, and fit the grating halfway down into the fire box, resting it upon the ledge built there. For moving the altar, make poles from acacia wood overlaid with bronze. To carry it, put the poles into the rings at each side of the altar. The altar is to be hollow, made from planks, just as was shown you on the mountain."
