The Altar
13 “These are the measurements of the altar[a]: There is a gutter all around the altar 21 inches deep and 21 inches wide,[b] with a curb 9 inches[c] wide around its edge. And this is the height[d] of the altar: 14 From the gutter the altar rises 3 1⁄2 feet[e] to a lower ledge that surrounds the altar and is 21 inches[f] wide. From the lower ledge the altar rises 7 feet[g] to the upper ledge that is also 21 inches wide. 15 The top of the altar, the hearth, rises another 7 feet higher, with a horn rising up from each of the four corners. 16 The top of the altar is square, measuring 21 feet by 21 feet.[h] 17 The upper ledge also forms a square, measuring 24 1⁄2 feet by 24 1⁄2 feet,[i] with a 21-inch gutter and a 10 1⁄2-inch curb[j] all around the edge.
