38 He made the altar of burnt offering out of acacia wood. It was square, five cubits* long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high.+ 2 Then he made its horns on its four corners. Its horns were one piece with it. Next he overlaid it with copper.+ 3 After that he made all the utensils of the altar, the buckets, the shovels, the bowls, the forks, and the fire holders. All its utensils he made of copper. 4 He also made a grating for the altar, a network of copper, under its rim, down toward its center. 5 He cast four rings on the four corners near the grating of copper, as holders for the poles. 6 After that he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with copper. 7 He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar in the form of a hollow chest of planks.
