1. “You are to construct the altar of acacia wood. The altar must be square, 7 1/2 feet long, and 7 1/2 feet wide; it must be 4 1/2 feet high.
2. Make horns for it on its four corners; the horns are to be of one piece. Overlay it with bronze.
3. Make its pots for removing ashes, and its shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans; make all its utensils of bronze.
4. Construct a grate for it of bronze mesh, and make four bronze rings on the mesh at its four corners.
5. Set it below, under the altar’s ledge, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.
6. Then make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.
7. The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.
8. Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. They are to make it just as it was shown to you on the mountain.
9. “You are to make the courtyard for the tabernacle. Make the hangings on the south of the courtyard out of finely spun linen, 150 feet long on that side.
