13 These are the altar’s measurements, using the same kind of measuring rod that was used for the temple area: There’s a gutter around the altar that’s both half a metre deep and wide. There’s a rim around it that’s 23cm wide. That’ll 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 half a metre wide. From that ledge to the upper ledge, it’s two metres. That ledge is also half a 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’s 27cm wide. There’s a gutter measuring half a metre at the bottom of the altar. There are steps leading up to the east side of the altar.”
