Exodus 37:27

37:27 He also made ¹  two gold rings for it under its border, on its two sides, on opposite sides, ²  as places ³  for poles to carry it with.

Exodus 38:7

38:7 He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the altar, with which to carry it. He made the altar ⁴  hollow, out of boards.

[37:27]  ¹ tn Heb “and he made.”

[37:27]  ² sn Since it was a small altar, it needed only two rings, one on either side, in order to be carried. The second mention of their location clarifies that they should be on the sides, the right and the left, as one approached the altar.

[37:27]  ³ tn Heb “for houses.”

[38:7]  ⁴ tn Heb “it”; the referent (the altar) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
