Commentary on Exodus 27:3

Theological / Devotional

His pans. The “shovels” were for removing the ashes from the altar and placing them in the “pans.” The “basons” were vessels that received the blood of the sacrifices, and from which it was poured upon the altar. The “fleshhooks” were three-pronged forks (1 Samuel 2:13), used to arrange the various pieces into which the sacrifice was cut upon the altar. The “firepans” were for carrying burning embers from the altar.

Brass. That is, bronze, an alloy of copper and tin. Brass made of copper and zinc was unknown.
