And thou shalt, make for it a grate of network of brass,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Thou shalt make for it a grate - Calmet supposes this altar to have been a sort of box, covered with brass plates, on the top of which was a grating to supply the fire with air, and permit the ashes to fall through into the siroth or pan that was placed below. At the four corners of the grating were four rings and four chains, by which it was attached to the four horns; and at the sides were rings for the poles of shittim wood with which it was carried.
Adam Clarke· Commentary on the Bible, 1832Evangelical
- Exodus 27:5
Set the grate beneath the ledge of the altar, so that the mesh comes halfway up the altar.
Commentary on Exodus 27:51 voice
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.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed

On this all their sacrifices were offered, and it was this which, being sanctified itself for this purpose by the divine appointment, sanctified the gift that was in faith offered on it.
