The altar
Êxodo 27:1-8
1
And you shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be foursquare: and the height of it shall be three cubits.
2
And you shall make the horns of it upon its four corners: its horns shall be of one piece with it: and you shall overlay it with bronze.
3
And you shall make its pans to receive its ashes, and its shovels, and its basins, and its flesh hooks, and its fire pans: all the utensils of it you shall make of bronze.
4
And you shall make for it a grate of network of bronze; and upon the net shall you make four bronze rings in the four corners.
5
And you shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, that the net may extend halfway down the altar.
6
And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.
7
And the poles shall be put into the rings, and the poles shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to bear it.
8
Hollow with boards shall you make it: as it was shown you on the mount, so shall they make it.

And he made the altar of burnt offering of acacia wood: five cubits was the length of it, and five cubits the breadth of it; it was foursquare; and three cubits the height of it.

And he made its horns on the four corners of it; its horns were of one piece with it: and he overlaid it with bronze.
3
And he made all the utensils of the altar, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the flesh hooks, and the firepans: all the utensils of it he made of bronze.

the laver
Êxodo 30:18-21

You shall also make a laver of bronze, and its base also of bronze, for washing: and you shall put it between the tabernacle of meeting and the altar, and you shall put water in it.
19
For Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there:
20
When they go into the tabernacle of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they die not; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire unto the LORD:
21
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his descendants throughout their generations.
Êxodo 38:8
And he made the laver of bronze, and the base of it of bronze, from the bronze mirrors of the women serving, who served at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.
