Sh’moth 27:1-8
“And you shall make an altar of acacia wood, five cubits long and five cubits wide – the altar is square – and its height three cubits.
“And you shall make its horns on its four corners, its horns are of the same. And you shall overlay it with bronze.
“And you shall make its pots to receive its ashes, and its shovels and its basins and its forks and its fire holders. Make all its utensils of bronze.
“And you shall make a grating for it, a bronze network, and shall make on the network four bronze rings at its four corners, and shall put it under the rim of the altar beneath, so that the network is halfway up the altar.
“And you shall make poles for the altar, poles of acacia wood, and shall overlay them with bronze.
“And the poles shall be put in the rings, and the poles shall be on the two sides of the altar for lifting it.
“Make it hollow with boards. As it was shown to you on the mountain, so they are to make it.

Tehillah 93 – Day 6 (Yom Shishy)
YHWH shall rule, He shall put on excellency; YHWH shall put on strength; He shall gird Himself. Indeed, the world is established, immovable.
Your throne is established from of old; You are from everlasting.
Rivers shall lift up, O YHWH, Rivers shall lift up their voice; Rivers lift up their breakers.
YHWH on high is mightier Than the noise of many waters, The mighty breakers of the sea.
Your witnesses have been very trustworthy. Set-apartness befits Your house, O YHWH, forever.

SHALOM!

Here is your question for Yom Shyshy found in today's Torah portion in Shemoth 27:1-8:

What was the purpose of the poles for the slaughter place?

From this week's Torah portion:
“And YHWH spoke to Moshe, saying, ‘Speak to the children of Yisra’el, that they take up a contribution (Terumah) for Me. From everyone whose heart moves him you shall take up My contribution. And this is the contribution which you take up from them: gold, and silver, and bronze, and blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine linen, and goats’ hair, and rams’ skins dyed red, and fine leather, and acacia wood, oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense, shoham stones, and stones to be set in the shoulder garment and in the breastplate. And they shall make Me a Set-apart Place, and I shall dwell within them. According to all that I show you – the pattern of the Dwelling Place and the pattern of all its furnishings – make it exactly so.’”
The words Shakanti B’tokam (שָׁכַנְתִּ֖י בְּתוֹכָֽם), from the beginning of this week's Torah portion, are usually translated “I shall dwell in their midst,” or “I shall dwell among them.” However, these are not the only translations possible.
The compound word Shakanti certainly means “I dwell,” and indicates a residing physical/spiritual presence. However, the word B’tokam can have somewhat different shades of meaning. Its root is the Hebrew word “tok” (תוך), which is sometimes translated “among,” but more often is translated as “in,” or “within.” It can even be translated as “inside.” Thus, the highlighted verse above can fairly be translated as, “And they shall make Me a Set-apart Place, and I shall dwell within them” - or “inside them.”
Consider that. It is a commandment of the Most-High that the people of Yisrael are to make for Him a set-apart Dwelling Place B’tokam - within them.

God keeps his promises regardless of what we do, but the positive promises might be fulfilled in our lifetime or in another's, depending on our relationship with God. If the people as a whole are obedient to God's Law, or even if only their leaders are, the people are much more likely to receive God's blessing in their lifetimes.
