These are the measurements of the altar, using royal measurements. The royal measuring stick was twenty-one inches long. The base of the altar was twenty-one inches high and twenty-one inches wide. All around the edge of the altar was a rim measuring nine inches wide. This was the height of the altar: From the base on the ground to the lower ledge it was three and one half feet high, and from the lower ledge to the upper ledge it was seven feet high and twenty-one inches wide. The place where the sacrifices were burned was seven feet high. There were four horns above it. read more.
It was twenty-one feet square, wide and long. The upper ledge was also square. It was twenty-four and one half feet long and twenty-four and one half feet wide. It had a rim all the way around that was ten and one half inches wide. Its base was twenty-one inches. The steps to the altar faced east. The man said: Son of man, this is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'These are the rules for sacrificing burnt offerings and for sprinkling blood on the altar after the altar is built.' Jehovah said: 'Give a young bull to the priests as an offering for sin. These priests are Zadok's descendants. They are men from the tribe of Levi, who can come near me and serve me. Take some of the bull's blood, and put it on the altars four horns, on the four corners of the ledge, and on the rim all the way around the altar. When you do this, you will remove sin from the altar and make peace with Jehovah. Take a young bull as an offering for sin, and burn it in the place appointed near the temple, outside the holy place. On the second day bring a male goat that has no defects as an offering for sin. Remove sin from the altar as you did with the young bull.' When you finish removing sin offer a young bull and a ram that have no defects. Offer them to Jehovah. The priests must throw salt on them and offer them as burnt offerings to Jehovah. Every day for seven days you must sacrifice a goat, a young bull, and a ram from the flock as an offering for sin. They must be animals that have no defects. For seven days the priests should pay compensation for wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah at the altar, purify it, and consecrate it. When those days are over, on the eighth day, the priests must sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings on the altar. Then I will accept them,' declares the Lord Jehovah.
