Exodus 27:6 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 27:6

And thou shalt make staves for the altar, staves of shittim
wood
Like those that were made for the ark, and for the same purpose:

and overlay them with brass;
with plates of brass, whereas those for the ark were overlaid with gold.

Exodus 27:6 In-Context

4 You shall also make for it a grating, a network of bronze; and upon the net you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.
5 And you shall set it under the ledge of the altar so that the net shall 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 through the rings, so that the poles shall be upon the two sides of the altar, when it is carried.
8 You shall make it hollow, with boards; as it has been shown you on the mountain, so shall it be made.
