2 Make it square -- eighteen inches long and eighteen inches wide -- and make it thirty-six inches high. The corners that stick out like horns must be one piece with the altar.
3 Cover its top, its sides, and its corners with pure gold, and put a gold strip all around the altar.
4 Make two gold rings beneath the gold strip on opposite sides of the altar, and slide poles through them to carry the altar.
5 Make the poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
