| Altar of Burnt Offering |
| He made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood. Its length and width was five cubits each to form a square shape. Its height was three cubits. The horns for its four corners were of one piece and overlaid with bronze. He made all of the utensils for the altar of bronze – the pans, shovels, basins, forks, and fire pans. He made a grate of bronze network for the altar, under its rim, midway from the bottom. He cast four rings for the four corners of the bronze grating, as holders for the poles. The poles were made of acacia wood and overlaid with bronze. He, then, put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to bear it. He made the altar hollow with boards. |

The inventory of the tabernacle of the Testimony was counted according to Moses’ commandment, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest. Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah made all that the Lord commanded Moses. With him, was Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. He was an engraver, a designer and a weaver of blue, purple and scarlet thread and of fine linen.
