KJV ORIGINAL
And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's how to measure the altar using the standard cubit (that's about 21 inches): The base should be one cubit deep and one cubit wide, with a rim around the edge that's about 9 inches high. This forms the raised platform for the altar.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
God cares about the details — even altar measurements matter when you're building something sacred.
