A New, Symbolic Altar
Commentators highlight that this altar's dimensions are unique, differing from the altars in the Tabernacle and Solomon's Temple. The measurements, using a special cubit (a standard cubit plus a handbreadth), are meticulously detailed. This suggests the design is not a mere copy but a new, symbolic representation chosen for its numerical symmetry and divine significance.
