Priests at the Altar of Burnt OfferingBible World

Exodus 27:5

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

The direction for setting the grating beneath the ledge of the altar, halfway up its height, belongs to the detailed specifications God gave to Moses for building the tabernacle. It stands as one particular within that divinely ordered pattern for the sanctuary and its furnishings. The skill and wisdom needed to carry out such building instructions were bestowed by God to be employed for His glory.
