1. Next Bezalel used acacia wood to construct the square altar of burnt offering. It was 71/2 feet wide, 71/2 feet long, and 41/2 feet high.
2. He made horns for each of its four corners so that the horns and altar were all one piece. He overlaid the altar with bronze.
3. Then he made all the altar utensils of bronze—the ash buckets, shovels, basins, meat forks, and firepans.
4. Next he made a bronze grating and installed it halfway down the side of the altar, under the ledge.
5. He cast four rings and attached them to the corners of the bronze grating to hold the carrying poles.
6. He made the poles from acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.
7. He inserted the poles through the rings on the sides of the altar. The altar was hollow and was made from planks.
8. Bezalel made the bronze washbasin and its bronze stand from bronze mirrors donated by the women who served at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
9. Then Bezalel made the courtyard, which was enclosed with curtains made of finely woven linen. On the south side the curtains were 150 feet long.
10. They were held up by twenty posts set securely in twenty bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.
11. He made a similar set of curtains for the north side—150 feet of curtains held up by twenty posts set securely in bronze bases. He hung the curtains with silver hooks and rings.
12. The curtains on the west end of the courtyard were 75 feet long, hung with silver hooks and rings and supported by ten posts set into ten bases.
13. The east end, the front, was also 75 feet long.
