2 Make horns[a] for its four corners and the horns and altar are one piece. You shall then cover it with bronze. 3 Fashion vessels to take away its ashes, as well as shovels, and basins, and forks, and fire pans. All of its utensils are to be made of bronze. 4 Make a grating for it, a network of bronze. Upon the net you shall fashion four rings made of bronze at its four corners.

- Exodus 27:2 The horns are protuberances at the four corners of the altar. They are especially holy: they are to be smeared with the blood of victims (see Ex 29:12), like the horns of the altar of incense (Ex 30:10). Anyone touching them could claim asylum (1 Ki 1:50; 2:28).
