1 Thou will make an altar of cedar wood, 7 1/2 feet long, and 7 1/2 feet wide. The alter will be square. It will be 4 1/2 feet tall.
2 Make the horns of it on the four corners. Its horns will all be the same and be covered with brass.
3 Make its pans to catch ashes, shovels, basins, meat-hooks, firepans out of brass.
They will know what tools go where with the Tabernacle things of gold and the alter things of brass.
4 Make it a grate of woven brass with four brass rings in the four corners.
The alter has a grate on top to lay the meat as it is burnt, and a pan underneath to catch all the ashes. The grate has rings in each corner so it's easy to lift.
5 And put it below the edge of the alter so it is half way up.
6 Make staves for the altar out of p cedar wood, and cover them with brass.
7 And the staves shall be put in the rings, and the staves will be on the two sides of the altar to carry it.
Everything was made to move easily.
8 Make the alter hollow, out of boards, just like it was shown thee in the mountain.

20 Tell the children of Israel to bring thee pure beaten olive oil for the light, so the lamp can always burn.
21 Aaron and his sons will keep the lamp burning all day long before the I AM, outside the veil that covers the Ark of the Testimony. This shall be a law forever to their descendants on the behalf of the children of Israel.
