וְצִפִּיתָ֨ אֹת֜וֹ זָהָ֣ב טָה֗וֹר אֶת־גַּגּ֧וֹ וְאֶת־קִירֹתָ֛יו סָבִ֖יב וְאֶת־קַרְנֹתָ֑יו וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ לּ֛וֹ זֵ֥ר זָהָ֖ב סָבִֽיב׃
At babalutan mo ito ng dalisay na ginto: ang ibabaw nito, ang mga gilid nito sa palibot, at ang mga sungay nito; at gagawan mo ito ng koronang ginto sa palibot.
Rashi
את גגו THE ROOF THEREOF — This altar had a top but the altar of burnt-offering had no top, but they filled in the hollow space enclosed by its sides with earth wherever they encamped (cf. Mekhilta).
Chizkuni
זר זהב סביב, a golden crownlike rim all around it. This was meant to shield the thickness of the gold-covered roof on top of the altar in every direction.
Rav Hirsch
V. 3. זר זהב: Durch diesen Reif tritt er in den Charakter der symbolischen Geräte wie ארון und שולחן, und wird durch ihn die Idee, die er zu vergegenwärtigen hat, als ein unantastbares Gedankenziel der Nation hingestellt.
Rashi
זר זהב A CROWN OF GOLD — an emblem of the crown of priesthood (Yoma 72b).
