Exodus 27:1

“You are to make the ¹  altar of acacia wood, seven feet six inches long, ²  and seven feet six inches wide; the altar is to be square, ³  and its height is to be ⁴  four feet six inches.

Ex 20:24-26; Ex 24:4; Ex 38:1-7; Ex 40:10,29; 2Sa 24:18; 2Ch 4:1; Eze 43:13-17; Heb 13:10

¹ tn The article on this word identifies this as the altar, meaning the main high altar on which the sacrifices would be made.

² tn The dimensions are five cubits by five cubits by three cubits high.

³ tn Heb “four”; this refers to four sides. S. R. Driver says this is an archaism that means there were four equal sides (Exodus, 291).

⁴ tn Heb “and three cubits its height.”
