New Living Translation (NLT)

Exodus 38
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.
