In the context of the Hebrew Bible, altars were central to worship and religious practices, serving as the designated place for presenting burnt offerings, grain offerings, and other sacrifices as prescribed by the Mosaic Law.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, altars were integral to the worship of Yahweh. They were often constructed from earth or uncut stones, as instructed in Exodus 20:24-25. The altar was a sacred space where the divine and human realms intersected, symbolizing God's presence and the people's devotion. The most significant altar in Israelite history was the altar of burnt offering in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem, where daily sacrifices were made to atone for the sins of the people and to maintain a covenant relationship with God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/1684.htm">debach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an altar<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>altar (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">מַדְבַּח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>altar</b></font>; — emphatic <font class="hebrew2">מַדְבְּחָא</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-17.htm">Ezra 7:17</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>altar <p>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/1684.htm">dbach</a>; a sacrificial altar -- altar. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1684.htm">dbach</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>מַדְבְּחָ֔ה מדבחה maḏ·bə·ḥāh madbeChah maḏbəḥāh<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/7-17.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 7:17</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">הִמּ֔וֹ עַֽל־ <b> מַדְבְּחָ֔ה </b> דִּ֛י בֵּ֥ית</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> and offer <span class="itali">them on the altar</span> of the house<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> upon <span class="itali">the altar</span> of the house<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/7-17.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> them upon <span class="itali">the altar</span> which of the house<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4056.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4056.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4056<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/madbechah_4056.htm">maḏ·bə·ḥāh — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4055.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4055"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4055" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4057.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4057"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4057" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
