Faithful Repetition and Clarity
This verse details the construction of the altar, fulfilling the instructions from Exodus 27. Commentator Charles Ellicott notes that while this account largely repeats the earlier one, it adds a specific clarification: the rings were explicitly for the staves used to carry the altar. This demonstrates the Bible's careful attention to detail, where even repeated accounts can offer fresh clarity on the execution of God's commands.
