The Altar's Symbolic Names
Commentators explain the unique names for the altar: 'Harel' (Mountain of God) and 'Ariel' (Lion of God). 'Harel' suggests the altar's imposing size and points to Christ's sacrifice on a mountain. 'Ariel' is seen as the 'Lion of God' because it 'devoured' sacrifices, a symbol of Christ, the Lion of Judah, who powerfully bore our sins.
