So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers presented by those who had been burned up, and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar.

Hammered-out silver is brought from Tarshish ¹  and gold is brought from Uphaz ²  to cover those idols. ³  They are the handiwork of carpenters and goldsmiths. ⁴  They are clothed in blue and purple clothes. ⁵  They are all made by skillful workers. ⁶ 

They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weave ¹  them into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into the fine linen, the work of an artistic designer.

Their buds and their branches will be one piece, ¹  all of it one hammered piece of pure gold.

He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered metal on the two ends of the atonement lid,

Their buds and their branches were of one piece; ¹  all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold.

Certainly ¹  caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin seed. ²  Certainly caraway seed is beaten with a stick, and cumin seed with a flail.

As for the censers of these men who sinned at the cost of their lives, ¹  they must be made ²  into hammered sheets for covering the altar, because they presented them before the Lord and sanctified them. They will become a sign to the Israelites.”
