The brazen altar is associated with the repentance from dead works. Fire was made in a firepan and put underneath the altar. We added boards to place underneath to ensure a steady airflow to keep the fire going, but it is possible that they used sand to lift the altar up a bit. The animals were then sacrificed on top of the grate and taken out with the flesh hooks. The shovels were used to remove the ashes and bury them outside of the camp. Firepans were used to take the live coals from the altar to start the new fire, because the fire had to burn continually. The live coals were also used for the altar of incense.
The basins were used to catch the blood when the animals were slaughtered so that the blood could be buried outside. The meat was then cut up into pieces and carried to the altar in the basins. After the meat was cooked, some of it was eaten by the priest and some was given to the family head to eat with his family. The cooked meat was also carried in basins.
