The "gutter" likely refers to a drainage system for the altar, ensuring that the blood from sacrifices is properly managed, reflecting the importance of cleanliness and order in worship. The measurement of "two cubits" (approximately 3 feet) indicates a specific design, emphasizing the precision and divine order in God's instructions. This attention to detail mirrors the instructions given for the tabernacle in Exodus, highlighting the continuity of God's covenant and the importance of holiness in worship.and the ledge one cubit wide The "ledge" serves as a platform or step, possibly for the priests to stand on while performing sacrifices. The measurement of "one cubit" (about 1.5 feet) suggests a functional design, allowing for ease of movement and access. This detail underscores the practical aspects of worship and the need for a structured approach to sacrificial rituals. The ledge's presence also symbolizes the separation between the holy and the common, a recurring theme in the Old Testament, where boundaries are set to maintain the sanctity of God's presence.The space from the smaller ledge to the larger ledge shall be four cubits The transition from a "smaller ledge" to a "larger ledge" with a space of "four cubits" (approximately 6 feet) indicates a tiered structure, possibly representing different levels of holiness or stages in the sacrificial process. This design may reflect the increasing closeness to God as one ascends, symbolizing spiritual growth and the journey towards holiness. The tiered structure can also be seen as a type of Christ, who bridges the gap between humanity and God, providing a way to ascend to the Father through His sacrifice.and the ledge one cubit wide Reiterating the width of the ledge as "one cubit" emphasizes uniformity and balance in the altar's design. This consistency in measurement may symbolize the unchanging nature of God's requirements for worship and the stability of His covenant. The repetition of this detail highlights the importance of adhering to divine instructions, reflecting the broader biblical theme of obedience to God's commands as a demonstration of faith and reverence.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/e/ezekiel.htm">Ezekiel</a> A prophet and priest during the Babylonian exile, Ezekiel is the author of the book.
