[25:26]  ² tn Heb “which [are] to four of its feet.”

[27:4]  ³ tn The noun מִכְבָּר (mikhbar) means “a grating”; it is related to the word that means a “sieve.” This formed a vertical support for the ledge, resting on the ground and supporting its outer edge (S. R. Driver, Exodus, 292).

Blood was put on them; fugitives could cling to them, and the priests would grab the horns of the little altar when making intercessory prayer.
