13 These are the measurements of the altar, using the same kind of measuring rod that was used for the temple area: There is a gutter around the altar that is both half a metre deep and wide. There is a rim around it that is 23cm wide. That will be the base for the rest of the altar.[ref] 14 The lower part of the gutter is one metre high to the lower ledge that surrounds the altar. The lower ledge is one-half metre wide. From that ledge to the upper ledge, it is two metres. That ledge is also one-half metre wide. 15 The altar body at the top is another two metres high and has a hornlike projection jutting up from each of its corners. 16 The sides of the square body are six metres long. 17 The upper ledge that borders the altar body is also a square, eight metres long on each side, and has a rim all around that is 27cm wide. There is a gutter measuring one-half metre at the bottom of the altar. There are steps leading up to the east side of the altar.”
