And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath, that the net may be even to the midst of the altar.

Which thou shalt put under the hearth of the altar: and the grate shall be even to the midst of the altar.

and thou shalt put it under the ledge of the altar beneath, and the net shall be to the very middle of the altar.

and hast put it under the compass of the altar beneath, and the net hath been unto the middle of the altar.

And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

which you shall place under the base of the altar. And the grating will extend even to the middle of the altar.

Ponesque illud sub ambitu altaris inferne, et erit rete illud usque ad medium altaris.

The compass of the altar - A shelf or projecting ledge, of convenient width, carried round the altar half way between the top and the base. It was supported all round its outer edge by a vertical net-like grating of bronze that rested on the ground.

And thou shalt put it under the compass of the altar beneath,.... That is, the grate was to be put within the square compass of the altar, in the hollow part of it, for the wood and sacrifice to be laid upon it:
that the net may be even to the midst of the altar; and as the altar was three cubits high, this net or grate was let down by chains to its rings a cubit and a half, and being of such a depth was capable of containing a great deal.

put it under the compass of the altar beneath--that is, the grating in which they were carried to a clean place (Leviticus 4:12).
