The Making of the Altar of Incense

25  He made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a foot and a half and its width a foot and a half – a square – and its height was three feet. Its horns were of one piece with it. 26  He overlaid it with pure gold – its top, its four walls, and its horns – and he made a surrounding border of gold for it. 27  He also made two gold rings for it under its border, on its two sides, on opposite sides, as places for poles to carry it with. 28  He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

29  He made the sacred anointing oil and the pure fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.

38  He made the altar for the burnt offering of acacia wood seven feet six inches long and seven feet six inches wide – it was square – and its height was four feet six inches. 2  He made its horns on its four corners; its horns were part of it, and he overlaid it with bronze. 3  He made all the utensils of the altar – the pots, the shovels, the tossing bowls, the meat hooks, and the fire pans – he made all its utensils of bronze. 4  He made a grating for the altar, a network of bronze under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom. 5  He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, to provide places for the poles. 6  He made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze. 7  He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made the altar hollow, out of boards.

8  He made the large basin of bronze and its pedestal of bronze from the mirrors of the women who served at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
