Height (in Cubits)
Base Ezekiel 43:13 1
To first ledge 43:14 1
To upper ledge 43:14 4
To hearth 43:15 4
Total Height 10

Breadth (in Cubits)
Upper ledge 43:17 14
For higher ledge 43:14 2
For lower ledge 43:14 2
For base 43:13 2
Total Breadth 20

Hence the upper part of the altar was only twelve cubits square - 43:16
the upper settle, or ledge, being in all fourteen cubits - 43:17
deducting two cubits from its dimensions. Though this altar was the same in height, and breadth with that of Solomon, yet it differed materially from it in having settles or ledges; on which the priests walked round the altar, to officiate in offering sacrifices.Reciprocal45:9 - execute; 45:19 - and upon the four corners Verse 15the altarHeb.
