Exodus 38
Reading Exodus chapter 38 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 He made also the altar of holocaust of setim wood, five cubits square, and three in height:
2 The horns whereof went out from the corners, and he overlaid it with plates of brass.
3 And for the uses thereof, he prepared divers vessels of brass, cauldrons, tongs, fleshhooks, pothooks and firepans.
4 And he made the grate thereof of brass, in manner of a net, and under it in the midst of the altar a hearth,
5 Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it:
6 And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of brass:
7 And he drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within.
8 He made also the laver of brass, with the foot thereof, of the mirrors of the women that watched at the door of the tabernacle.
9 He made also the court, in the south side whereof were hangings of fine twisted linen of a hundred cubits.
10 Twenty pillars of brass with their sockets, the heads of the pillars, and the whole graving of the work, of silver.
