* the altar.
This altar consisted of four boards of {shittim} (acacia)
wood, covered with brass, and hollow in the middle; but it is
supposed to have been filled up with earth when used, for it
is expressly said (ch. 20:24) that the altar is to be of
earth. As it was five cubits long and five cubits broad, and
three cubits high, if the cubit be reckoned at 21; inches, it
must have been eight feet nine inches square, and about five
feet three inches in height.
