The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran
The Masoretic Text states that all utensils for the altar should be made of bronze, listing specific items such as pots, shovels, and firepans. The Septuagint largely agrees with the Masoretic Text, matching 9 of the 11 words, though its word order and articles differ. The Samaritan Pentateuch has one notable difference, using the term 'מחתיתיו' (fire holder) instead of the Masoretic 'מחתתיו' (firepan). The Dead Sea Scrolls fragment 4Q22 contains parts of the verse, with 7 words fully supplied by an editor, indicating some agreement with the Masoretic Text but lacking complete preservation.
