The altar of burnt offering with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin with its stand. The courtyard furniture closes the list: the altar of burnt offering and the bronze basin. Every day, morning and evening, the altar receives the burnt offering and the basin receives the priests' hands and feet. The daily rhythm of sacrifice and washing is sustained by the construction the skilled workers are now commissioned to complete. Hebrews 13:10 says we have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat — the altar of Exodus 35 is the type of the altar of Christ's sacrifice.
