THE BRAZEN ALTAR
Also called the "altar of burnt offering" (Exodus 30:28) and the
"table of the LORD" (Malachi 1:7,12).
This altar was placed in the court, between the entrance and the tab-
ernacle.
It was made strong and light for convenient transportation; a hollow
box of acacia wood, five cubits square and three cubits high (Exodus 27:1-8),
overlaid, inside and out, with sheets of copper (A.V. "brass"). At each corner
was a "horn". The altar had a grate placed halfway between the top and the
bottom. At each corner of the grate was a ring, through which were passed the
copper-covered poles by which the altar was carried when moved.
Twenty years after leaving Egypt two hundred and fifty censers were
flattened out and attached to the sides of the altar, telling an awful story
to future generations (Numbers 16:1-40).
According to Leviticus 6:13 the fire on this altar was never allowed
to go out.
