“And he put the staves into the rings on the sides of the altar, to bear it withal; he made the altar hollow with boards.”
He inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar to carry it. The altar is hollow. The insertion of the poles completes the transport mechanism. The hollow construction reduces weight and provides interior space for the grating. The hollow altar that can be carried by four people is the altar that travels with Israel through forty years of wilderness. The God who travels with His people lives in a portable dwelling served by portable furniture.
