3He made all the tools for the altar with bronze. He made pots to remove the ashes, and also spades and bowls. He made forks for the meat and dishes to carry the fire. 4He used bronze to make a square net for the altar. He fixed it inside the altar, in the middle between the top and the ground. He used bronze to make four rings. He fixed them to the four corners of the net. The poles would go through these rings. 6He used acacia wood to make the poles. He covered them with bronze. 7He put the poles through the rings on each side of the altar, to carry it. He used boards to make the altar so that it was empty inside.
