Exodus 31:9

the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—

Berean Standard Bible

Study note

Setting — God gives Moses the final inventory of Tabernacle furnishings, listing them immediately after the table, lampstand, and incense altar, and immediately before the priestly garments.

The words — מִזְבַּח (mizbach) means "altar," and כִּיּוֹר (kiyor) means "basin" or "laver."

The thread — The altar's construction appears in Exodus 27:1 and Exodus 38:1, and the basin's placement is commanded in Exodus 30:18.

Why it lands — The verse functions as a direct construction list, requiring the reader to record the altar and basin as mandatory, distinct components of the sanctuary's furnishing.
