- Exodus 27:1–8
Read Exodus 27:4 with 27:1–8. The 27:4 wording “And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings…” carries one distinct piece of the unit's speech, case, ritual, action, or response.

Why It Needs Context
The 27:4 wording “And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings…” carries one distinct piece of the unit's speech, case, ritual, action, or response. Its force depends on 27:1–8; detached from “The Bronze Altar Receives Sacrifice,” the words “And thou shalt make for it a grate of network of brass; and upon the net shalt thou make four brasen rings…” could be mistaken for a complete command, promise, judgment, explanation, or doctrine.
