Exodus 38:5
3 He made all the altar’s utensils of bronze—its pots, shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks, and firepans.
4 He made a grate of bronze mesh for the altar under its ledge, halfway up from the bottom.
At the four corners of the bronze grate he cast four rings as holders for the poles.
6 And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with bronze.
7 Then he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar for carrying it. He made the altar with boards so that it was hollow.
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.
