The Altar's Tiered Design
Commentators explain that this verse details a multi-tiered altar. It had a lower stage two cubits high and an upper stage four cubits high. Each stage featured a one-cubit-wide ledge, which scholars suggest served as a walkway for the priests ministering at the altar. This precise design underscores the order and specific instructions God provides for worship.
