In The King James Version

And thou shalt lay them up in the tabernacle of the congregation before the testimony, where I will meet with you.

In Context

3The fire pans of these chatta'im against their own nefashot, let them make them hammered-out sheets for a covering of the Mizbe'ach: for they offered them before Hashem, therefore they became kadosh; and they shall be an ot unto the Bnei Yisroel.
