God provided the Israelites with specific instructions for each step of creating the synagogue. The altar of the holocaust was to be made from acacia wood and to measure 5 cubits long by 5 cubits wide and 3 cubits high. Instruments to be used at the altar such as a rack, basket, shovel, pots for removing ashes, and so forth were to be made of bronze. God went on to explain in explicit design how the court yard and even the columns were to be designed and created and then the oil for the lamps was to be made from pressed olives.
