And these are the measures of the altar after the cubits: The cubit is a cubit and an hand breadth; even the bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth a cubit, and the border thereof by the edge thereof round about shall be a span: and this shall be the higher place of the altar.
the measures: Exodus 27:1-8, 2 Chronicles 4:1
The cubits: Ezekiel 40:5, Ezekiel 41:8
bottom: Heb. bosom
edge: Heb. lip
Reciprocal: Exodus 38:1 - the altar Ezekiel 40:10 - they three Ezekiel 43:14 - the lower settle

And from the bottom upon the ground even to the lower settle shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser settle even to the greater settle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubit.
the lower settle: These settles were ledges by which the altar was narrowed towards the top; and the whole of it may thus be computed:
Height - in Cubits Base Ezekiel 43:13, 1 To first ledge Ezekiel 43:14, 1 To upper ledge Ezekiel 43:14, 4 To hearth Ezekiel 43:15, 4 Total Height 10
Breadth - in Cubits Upper ledge Ezekiel 43:17, 14 For higher ledge Ezekiel 43:14, 2 For lower ledge Ezekiel 43:14, 2 For base Ezekiel 43:13, 2 Total Breadth 20
Hence the upper part of the altar was only twelve cubits square - Ezekiel 43:16, the upper settle, or ledge, being in all fourteen cubits - Ezekiel 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.
