Exodus 27:4

Compare all

2 You shall make its horns on its four corners; its horns shall be of one piece with it. And you shall overlay it with bronze.

3 Also you shall make its pans to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its firepans; you shall make all its utensils of bronze.

4 You shall make a grate for it, a network of bronze; and on the network you shall make four bronze rings at its four corners.

5 You shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, that the network may be midway up the altar.

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

7 The poles shall be put in the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar to bear it.

Exodus 27:4

Thou shalt make for it a grate - Calmet supposes this altar to have been a sort of box, covered with brass plates, on the top of which was a grating to supply the fire with air, and permit the ashes to fall through into the siroth or pan that was placed below. At the four corners of the grating were four rings and four chains, by which it was attached to the four horns; and at the sides were rings for the poles of shittim wood with which it was carried. Even on this there is a great variety of opinions.
