The Altar for Burning Offerings

38 Then Bezalel used acacia wood to build the altar. This was the altar used for burning offerings. The altar was square. It was 5 cubits[a] long, 5 cubits wide, and 3 cubits[b] high. He made a horn for each of the four corners of the altar. He joined each horn to its corner so that everything was one piece. He covered the altar with bronze. Then he used bronze to make all the tools to be used on the altar. He made the pots, shovels, bowls, forks, and pans.
