Exodus 27:4
2 Make a horn on each of its four corners, so that the horns are of one piece, and overlay it with bronze.
3 Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots for removing ashes, its shovels, its sprinkling bowls, its meat forks, and its firepans.
Construct for it a grate of bronze mesh, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the mesh.
5 Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.
6 Additionally, make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
