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 and gold is brought from Uphaz to cover those idols. They are the handiwork of carpenters and goldsmiths. They are clothed in blue and purple clothes. They are all made by skillful workers.

They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weave 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, 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; all of it was one hammered piece of pure gold.

Certainly caraway seed is not threshed with a sledge, nor is the wheel of a cart rolled over cumin seed. 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, they must be made 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.”
