Exodus 27:1

¹He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. It was square. Its length was five cubits,^[+] its width was five cubits, and its height was three cubits. ²He made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. ³He made all the vessels of the altar: the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the fire pans. He made all its vessels of bronze. ⁴He made for the altar a grating of a network of bronze, under the ledge around it beneath, reaching halfway up. ⁵He cast four rings for the four corners of bronze grating, to be places for the poles. ⁶He made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. ⁷He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made it hollow with planks.

¹⁸Gad came that day to David and said to him, “Go up, build an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.”

⁴Moses wrote all the LORD’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

¹⁰We have an altar from which those who serve the holy tabernacle have no right to eat.

²⁹He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.

¹³“These are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit^[+] is a cubit and a hand width): the bottom shall be a cubit, and the width a cubit, and its border around its edge a span;^[+] and this shall be the base of the altar. ¹⁴From the bottom on the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the width one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the width a cubit. ¹⁵The upper altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar hearth and upward there shall be four horns. ¹⁶The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long by twelve wide, square in its four sides. ¹⁷The ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen wide in its four sides; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and its bottom shall be a cubit around; and its steps shall look toward the east.”

¹Then he made an altar of bronze, twenty cubits^[+] twenty cubits wide, and ten cubits high.

²⁴You shall make an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will bless you. ²⁵If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it. ²⁶You shall not go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.’

¹⁰You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.
