¹ tn Heb “from the sides of it.”

² tn Heb “from the second side.”

³ sn Since it was a small altar, it needed only two rings, one on either side, in order to be carried. The second clause clarifies that the rings should be on the sides, the right and the left, as you approach the altar.

⁴ tn Heb “And it”; this refers to the rings collectively in their placement on the box, and so the word “rings” has been used to clarify the referent for the modern reader.

⁵ tn Heb “for houses.”

⁶ tn The disjunctive vav (ו) serves here as a circumstantial clause indicator.
