5 casting four rings at the four ends of the net in order to set the bars, so as to carry it.5 Casting four rings at the four ends of the net at the top, to put in bars to carry it.
6 These bars he also made of setim wood, and he covered them with layers of brass.6 And he made the bars of setim wood, and overlaid them with plates of brass:
7 And he drew them through the rings, which projected from the sides of the altar. But the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, made from panels and empty inside.7 And he drew them through the rings that stood out in the sides of the altar. And the altar itself was not solid, but hollow, of boards, and empty within.
