Exegesis
The phrase ba-agganot {בָּאַגָּנֹת | bāʾaggānōt} ‘in the bowls’ contrasts with zarak {זָרַק | zā-rāq} ‘he dashed’ upon al-ha-mizbeakh {עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ | ʿal-ha-mizbēaḥ} ‘upon the altar’, forming a coordinated structure that highlights both storage and consecration functions.
In context — Exodus 24:6
Moses took half of the blood and put it in the bowls, while the other half he splashed upon the altar .
