And thou shalt make the horns of it upon the four corners thereof: his horns shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay it with brass.
You shall make horns on its four corners. These horns shall be made from the same material as the altar, and you shall cover it all with bronze.
God is giving Moses detailed instructions for building the bronze altar, including horn-like projections on each corner that would be covered in bronze.
📚 Historical Context
This verse is part of God's detailed instructions to Moses for building the tabernacle in the wilderness after the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. The altar being described is the bronze altar of burnt offering, which would be placed in the courtyard of the tabernacle where sacrifices would be made. The 'horns' were projections that served both practical and symbolic purposes - they helped secure sacrificial animals and represented God's power and strength.
