It wastwice as high as it was broad, being twenty-one inches broad andthree feet six inches high. It had “horns”; its top or flatsurface was surmounted by an ornamental ledge or rim, called a crown,and it was furnished at the sides with rings for carriage. Its onlyaccompanying piece of furniture was a golden censer or pan, in whichthe incense was set fire to upon the altar. Hence it was called thealtar of incense, or the “golden altar” [Exo 39:38<\/span>;Exo 40:26<\/span>], from the profusedegree in which it was gilded or overlaid with the precious metal.This splendor was adapted to the early age of the church, but inlater times, when the worship was to be more spiritual, the altar ofincense is prophetically described as not of gold but of wood, anddouble the size of that in the tabernacle, because the church shouldbe vastly extended (Mal 1:11<\/span>).<\/P><\/p>\n A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof, four square shall it be<\/strong>,…. It was one Jewish square cubit, which is in surface, according to Bishop Cumberland, three English square feet, and about forty seven square inches; which may denote the solidity, perfection, and extensiveness of Christ’s priesthood, it being unchangeable, firm, and lasting; and which passes not from one to another, and the which makes something perfect, which the law and priesthood of Aaron could not, even perfects for ever them that are sanctified; and is very extensive; the virtue of it reaches to all the elect of God, from the beginning of the world to the end of it; not his sacrifice only, but his intercession, which is principally respected; that is made for all the people of God, in all places, and in all ages, and for all things for them, both for this life, and that which is to come:<\/p>\n and two cubits shall be the height thereof<\/strong>; so that it was as high again as it was long and broad: Christ, our interceding high priest, is made higher than the heavens:<\/p>\n the horns thereof shall be of the same<\/strong>; of the same wood the altar itself was made: these were a sort of spires that rose up at the four corners of the altar; and the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases the words,<\/p>\n “and of it its horns shall be erect;”<\/p>\n which were chiefly for decoration and ornament; and may denote the honour and glory of Christ, as well as his power and ability to save, to the uttermost, all that come to God by him, or lay hold upon him, since he ever lives to make intercession.<\/p>\n (2) Foursquare shall it be.<\/strong>Of <\/strong>the same shape with the brazen altar (Exo. 27:1<\/span>), but much smallertwo cubits high instead of three cubits, and a cubit square at top instead of five cubits.
