[38:1] For burning offerings, he made an altar out of acacia wood. It was square, 7½ feet long and 7½ feet wide, and it was 4½ feet high.
[38:2] He made the projections at the top of the four corners, so that they formed one piece with the altar. He covered it all with bronze.
[38:3] He also made all the equipment for the altar: the pans, the shovels, the bowls, the hooks, and the fire pans. All this equipment was made of bronze.
[38:4] He made a bronze grating and put it under the rim of the altar, so that it reached halfway up the altar.
[38:5] He made four carrying rings and put them on the four corners.
[38:6] He made carrying poles of acacia wood, covered them with bronze,
[38:7] and put them in the rings on each side of the altar. The altar was made of boards and was hollow.
