38 RSV BHS Hebrew Text Reference
He made the alter of burnt offering also of acacia wood; five cubits was its length, and five cubits its breadth; it was square, and three cubits was its height. וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת־מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים חָמֵשׁ אַמֹּות אָרְכֹּו וְחָמֵשׁ־אַמֹּות רָחְבֹּו רָבוּעַ וְשָׁלֹשׁ אַמֹּות קֹמָתֹו׃ Making the alter of burnt offerings. Ex.38.1-7 | Ex.27.1-8
He made horns for it on its four corners; its horns were of one piece with it, and he overlaid it with bronze. וַיַּעַשׂ קַרְנֹתָיו עַל אַרְבַּע פִּנֹּתָיו מִמֶּנּוּ הָיוּ קַרְנֹתָיו וַיְצַף אֹתֹו נְחֹשֶׁת׃  
And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, the shovels, the basins, the forks, and the firepans: all its utensils he made of bronze. וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת־כָּל־כְּלֵי הַמִּזְבֵּחַ אֶת־הַסִּירֹת וְאֶת־הַיָּעִים וְאֶת־הַמִּזְרָקֹת אֶת־הַמִּזְלָגֹת וְאֶת־הַמַּחְתֹּת כָּל־כֵּלָיו עָשָׂה נְחֹשֶׁת׃  
And he made for the altar a grating, a network of bronze, under its ledge, extending halfway down. וַיַּעַשׂ לַמִּזְבֵּחַ מִכְבָּר מַעֲשֵׂה רֶשֶׁת נְחֹשֶׁת תַּחַת כַּרְכֻּבֹּו מִלְּמַטָּה עַד־חֶצְיֹו׃  
He cast four rings on the four corners of the bronze grating as holders for the poles; וַיִּצֹק אַרְבַּע טַבָּעֹת בְּאַרְבַּע הַקְּצָוֹת לְמִכְבַּר הַנְּחֹשֶׁת בָּתִּים לַבַּדִּים׃  
he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with bronze. וַיַּעַשׂ אֶת־הַבַּדִּים עֲצֵי שִׁטִּים וַיְצַף אֹתָם נְחֹשֶׁת׃  
And he put the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar, to carry it with them; he made it hollow, with boards. וַיָּבֵא אֶת־הַבַּדִּים בַּטַּבָּעֹת עַל צַלְעֹת הַמִּזְבֵּחַ לָשֵׂאת אֹתֹו בָּהֶם נְבוּב לֻחֹת עָשָׂה אֹתֹו׃ ס
