the bronze altar
The Hebrew word for "altar" is "mizbeach," which signifies a place of sacrifice. The bronze altar, also known as the altar of burnt offering, was central to the sacrificial system established by God for the Israelites. Made of acacia wood and overlaid with bronze, it symbolizes the need for atonement and the seriousness of sin. Bronze, a durable metal, represents judgment and endurance, reflecting the altar's role in the sacrificial system where offerings were made to atone for sin.

with its bronze grating
The "grating" or "network" was a mesh-like structure placed under the altar to hold the firewood and sacrifices. The Hebrew term "mikbar" suggests a lattice or net, indicating a design that allowed the fire to consume the offerings completely. This grating ensured that the sacrifices were wholly burnt, symbolizing total dedication and the complete consumption of sin through the sacrificial act.

its poles
The poles, or "badim" in Hebrew, were used to transport the altar. They were made of acacia wood and overlaid with bronze, like the altar itself. The use of poles signifies the mobility of God's presence and the importance of the altar in the Israelites' journey. It underscores the idea that worship and atonement were not confined to a single location but were integral to the life and movement of God's people.

and all its utensils
The utensils, or "keli" in Hebrew, included various tools necessary for the sacrificial rites, such as firepans, shovels, basins, forks, and fire-holders. Each utensil had a specific purpose in the sacrificial process, emphasizing the order and precision required in worship. This attention to detail reflects God's holiness and the need for reverence in approaching Him.

the basin
The basin, or "kiyyor" in Hebrew, was used for ceremonial washing by the priests. Made of bronze, it was placed between the tent of meeting and the altar. The basin symbolizes purification and the necessity of cleanliness before approaching God. It serves as a reminder of the need for spiritual cleansing and the sanctification required to serve in God's presence.

with its stand
The stand, or "ken" in Hebrew, provided stability and support for the basin. It ensured that the basin was at the proper height for use by the priests. This detail highlights the importance of preparation and readiness in worship, as well as the foundational support required for spiritual practices. The stand represents the firm foundation of faith and the support of God's Word in the life of a believer.
