Make a grating for it, a bronze network, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the network. The bronze grating is a network that sits inside the altar, below the top, where the fire burns and the sacrifice rests. The four bronze rings at the corners of the grating are for the same purpose as the rings on the ark and table — to accept the carrying poles. The grating that sits inside the altar and can be removed for cleaning or transport is a detail that reveals the thorough engineering of the entire tabernacle system. Nothing is simply bolted together; everything is designed for the repeated assembly, use, and disassembly that the wilderness community requires.
