Contextual Overview

1 Then he made the altar for burnt gifts of acacia wood. It was as long and as wide as three steps, and as tall as a man's chest. 2 He made horns on its four corners of one piece with it and covered it with brass. 3 He made all the objects of the altar, its pails, its tools for picking up the ashes, its pots, meat-hooks and fire-holders of brass. 4 He made a net for it of brass. It was put under the altar and it came up half-way. 5 He put four rings of brass at the four corners of the net to hold the long pieces of wood. 6 He made the long pieces of wood out of acacia wood and covered them with brass. 7 He put the long pieces of wood through the rings on each side of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar with pieces of wood so it was empty inside. 8 He made the pot for washing and its base of brass. They were made from the mirrors of the women servants who worked at the door of the meeting tent.
