'Altar' in the Bible

Then Moses put up an altar and gave it the name of Yahweh-nissi:

Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.

And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.

And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.

But if a man makes an attack on his neighbour on purpose, to put him to death by deceit, you are to take him from my altar and put him to death.

Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.

And make an altar of hard wood, a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high.

And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.

Then take some of the blood of the ox, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, draining out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

And take all the fat covering the inside of the ox, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and let them be burned on the altar;

Then let it be put to death, so that the sides of the altar are marked with its blood.

And let them all be burned on the altar as a burned offering to the Lord: a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

You are to put the sheep to death, and take some of its blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear, and of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the great toes of their right feet, dropping the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.

Then take some of the blood on the altar, and the oil, and put it on Aaron and his robes and on his sons and on their robes, so that he and his robes and his sons and their robes may be made holy.

Then take them from their hands, and let them be burned on the burned offering on the altar, a sweet smell before the Lord, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

Every day an ox is to be offered as a sin-offering, to take away sins: and by this offering on it, you will make the altar clean from sin; and you are to put oil on it and make it holy.

For seven days you are to make offerings for the altar and make it holy, so that it may become completely holy, and anything touching it will become holy.

Now this is the offering which you are to make on the altar: two lambs in their first year, every day regularly.

I will make holy the Tent of meeting and the altar: and Aaron and his sons I will make holy, to be my priests

And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.

The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.

And on this altar sweet spices are to be burned by Aaron every morning when he sees to the lights.

You are to make a brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it;

Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,

And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,

And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.

And the table with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,

And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,

And when Aaron saw this, he made an altar before it, and made a public statement, saying, Tomorrow there will be a feast to the Lord.

And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;

The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;

And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.

The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,

And brass was used for all the vessels of the altar, the baskets and the spades, the basins and the meat-hooks and the fire-trays; all the vessels he made of brass

And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;

He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

From it he made the bases of the doorway of the Tent of meeting and the brass altar and the network for it and all the vessels for the altar,

And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent;

And the brass altar, with its network of brass, and its rods and all its vessels, and the washing-vessel and its base;

And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

And he put the gold altar in the Tent of meeting, in front of the veil:

And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.
