1. He also made the altar of holocaust from setim wood: five cubits square, and three in height,
2. the horns of which proceeded from the corners. And he covered it with layers of brass.
3. And for its uses, he prepared diverse vessels out of brass: kettles, forceps, little hooks, larger hooks, and receptacles for the fire.
4. And he made its grating of brass, in the manner of a net, and under it, in the midst of the altar, its base,
5. casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.
6. These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.
7. And he drew them through the rings, which projected from the sides of the altar. But the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, made from panels and empty inside.
8. He also made the washtub of brass, with its base made from the mirrors of the women who kept watch at the door of the tabernacle.
