Both occurrences are masculine singular construct forms in clauses locating a net or grate beneath this altar feature. In Exodus 27:5 the APB renders the instruction to place the net “under the ledge of the altar,” and in Exodus 38:4 it describes the bronze net as “under its ledge.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant altar feature as “the ledge of the altar” in Exodus 27:5 and as “its ledge” in Exodus 38:4. These renderings are read alongside the construct forms and their clauses.
