Exodus

Exodus 27:3–7

³Make all its utensils of bronze — its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans. ⁴Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh. ⁵Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.

⁶Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze. ⁷The poles are to be inserted into the rings so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.
