forskwar (, rabha; , tetragonos): Foursquare, meaning equal in length and breadth, not round, is the translation of rabha (from obsolete rebha, four); it occurs in the description of the altar of burnt offering (Exo 27:1; Exo 38:1); of the altar of incense (Exo 30:2; Exo 37:25); of the breastplate of the high priest (Exo 28:16; Exo 39:9); of the panels of the gravings upon the mouth of the brazen or molten sea in Solomon’s temple (1Ki 7:31); of the inner court of Ezekiel’s temple (Eze 40:47); of the holy oblation of the city of Ezekiel’s vision (Eze 48:20, rebh, fourth); of the new Jerusalem of John’s vision (Rev 21:16, , tetragonos), and conveys the idea of perfect symmetry. In the King James Version marginof 1Ki 6:31, we have five-square, square being formerly used for equal-sided, as it still is in Three-square file.<\/p>\n
This may perhaps be said to be the most perfect earthly shape of a plane (the ‘cube’ being perfection for a solid). See ‘four’ under NUMBFRS. It was the shape of the brazen altar, Exo 27:1; Exo 38:1; the breastplate, Exo 28:16; Exo 39:9; and the altar of incense, Exo 30:2; Exo 37:25. Apparently it was the shape of the ‘panels’ of the base of the molten sea in Solomon’s temple, 1Ki 7:31; also of the court of the future temple, Eze 40:47; the altar of the same, Eze 43:16; the portion of the land offered as a holy oblation, Eze 48:20; for the sanctuary, Eze 45:2; and for the city, Eze 48:16.<\/p>\n
