Tafsiran Keluaran 27:2: Rashi, Sforno, Rashbam & Rav Hirsch

וְעָשִׂ֣יתָ קַרְנֹתָ֗יו עַ֚ל אַרְבַּ֣ע פִּנֹּתָ֔יו מִמֶּ֖נּוּ תִּהְיֶ֣יןָ קַרְנֹתָ֑יו וְצִפִּיתָ֥ אֹת֖וֹ נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃

Buatlah tanduk-tanduknya pada keempat sudutnya; tanduk-tanduknya harus menjadi satu bagian dengan mezbah itu. Lalu salutlah mezbah itu dengan tembaga.

Rashi

ממנו תהיין קרנתיו ITS HORNS SHALL BE OF THE SAME — i. e. he shall not make them separately and afterwards attach them to it (to the altar).

Sforno

קרנותיו, a feature of all altars, as were the shovels and the basins for the blood as receptacles.

Rashbam

ממנו תהיין קרנותיו, integral parts of the structure, not something superimposed.

Rashi

וצפית אתו נחשת AND THOU SHALT OVERLAY IT WITH COPPER — to atone for sins committed with effrontery (more lit., with impudence of forehead, the Hebrew expression for effrontery being, “having a copper forehead,”) as it is said, (Isaiah 48:4) “[Because I know that thou art obstinate] and that thy forehead is copper” (cf. our English expression “brazen-faced”) (Midrash Tanchuma, Terumah 11).
