Exegesis
The closing prepositional phrase le-khol-ma'asehu {לְכָֽל־מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ | ləḵol-maʿăśêhû} ‘according to all its workmanship’ functions adverbially, indicating that the pattern was to correspond to the altar’s full construction, which the English renderings convey by keeping a concluding qualifier tied to the design materials.
