Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Four square shall it be. Like the altar of burnt-offering. See the comment on Exodus 27:1. Two cubits shall be the height thereof. Altars of this small size are often represented on ancient vases and other remains. (See Dr. Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, pp. 117 and 1174.) The horns thereof. It seems to be assumed that an altar must have horns. Those of the altar of incense were to have the blood of certain sin-offerings smeared upon them (Leviticus 4:7, 18). Shall be of the same - i.e. "shall be of one piece with the top of the table" - not projections added to it. Compare Exodus 27:2.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Foursquare shall it be.--Of the same shape with "the brazen altar" (Exodus 27:1), but much smaller--two cubits high instead of three cubits, and a cubit square at top instead of five cubits. This small space was ample for the burning of so precious a material, which could only be offered in small quantities.The horns thereof.--Comp. Exodus 27:2, and Note 1, ad loc.Shall be of the same--i.e., of one piece with the altar, not made separately, and then attached to it.
