Read It With
- Exodus 27:1–8
Read Exodus 27:7 with 27:1–8. The line at 27:7 records “And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to…” and gives this movement its next narrated or instructed action. The whole unit shows: A square horned altar of acacia and bronze, utensils, grate, poles, and hollow construction is specified from the shown pattern.
Why It Needs Context
The line at 27:7 records “And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to…” and gives this movement its next narrated or instructed action. Its force depends on 27:1–8; detached from “The Bronze Altar Receives Sacrifice,” the words “And the staves shall be put into the rings, and the staves shall be upon the two sides of the altar, to…” could be mistaken for a complete command, promise, judgment, explanation, or doctrine.
