| Ezekiel 43:13
| And these are the measures of the altar by the truest cubit, which is a cubit and a hand breadth: the bottom thereof was a cubit, and the breadth a cubit: and the border thereof unto its edge, and round about, one hand breadth: and this was the trench of the altar.
| By. Hebrew, "by cubits." This cubit is a common cubit, etc. The Babylonian, (Haydock) or sacred one, was a palm longer. (Worthington) (Chap. 40:5.) --- Breadth. It was the same as the depth, being designed to convey the blood by a conduit to the torrent Cedron. --- Trench, or bottom aforesaid. Septuagint, "the height." (Haydock) --- Chaldean, "disposition of the altar," which seems best.
