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 Construct a grate for it of bronze mesh, and make four bronze rings on the mesh at its four corners.

5 Set it below, under the altar's ledge, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.

6 Then make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with bronze.

7 The poles are to be inserted into the rings, so that the poles are on two sides of the altar when it is carried.

8 Construct the altar with boards so that it is hollow. They are to make it just as it was shown to you on the mountain.
