An altar in Egypt is predictedIsaiah 19:19. All this accords with the law of the Covenant code Exodus 20:24-26 which recognises a plurality of altars and prescribes that they shall be built of ה מ< ד< Gא, or of unhewn stones, and without steps. Soים נ� ב< Gא Deuteronomy 27:6 (JE),  ים נ� ב< Gת אIמו ל� ש  Joshua 8:31, and twelve stones 1 Kings 18:30,32; compare Isaiah 27:9.

8 the ancient and most common term for making altars was ה נ< Genesis 35:7 (E) Genesis 8:20 (J) Deuteronomy ב<27:5,6; Exodus 32:5 (JE) +, implying building material; other verbs are ים ק� 2 ה� Samuel 24:18; 1 Kings 16:32; 2 Kings 21:3; 1 Chronicles 21:18; 2Chronicles 33:3; ין כ�  Ezra 3:3 (followed by ה� pו כוIנLת< למ2 ;(ע�ים  ;Jeremiah 11:13 ש� ב2 Hצ י� Genesis 33:20 (but compare ו�

9 the dedication of the altar was ת המזבח כ� tנ GחNumbers 7:10,11,84,88; 2Chronicles 7:9; it was anointed with oil ח ש� Exodusמ<40:10; Leviticus 8:11; Numbers 7:10 (all P).

10 removal of unlawful altars is expressed by ץ ת� Exodusנ<34:13 (JE) Deuteronomy 7:5; Judges 2:2; Judges 6:30,31,32; 2 Kings 11:18; 2 Kings 23:12,15; ץ ת� ;Deuteronomy 12:3 (Pi) נ�2Chronicles 31:1; 34:4,7; ץ ת� tנ Judges 6:28; ס ר� Judges 6:25; 1 ה<Kings 19:10,14;  ר ב� 2ש� Chronicles 23:17>;  יר ס� 2 ה� Kings 18:22 =Isaiah 36:7; 2Chron 14:2; 2 Chronicles 30:14; 32:12; 33:15.

11 ministry at the altar was מ ת ה� Hר Hמ ש Numbers 18:5;Ezekiel ׳מ�40:46, compare Numbers 3:31 (P), י מ ת� ר y ש< ל;Joel 1:13 ׳מ ד ע� מ� is ע<said of officiating priest 1 Kings 13:1, ל ה ע� ל< Exodus 20:26; 1 ע<Samuel 2:28; 1 Kings 12:33 + (compare ד ר� ;(Leviticus 9:22 י<sacrifices were usually offered  ח� ב� ז מ� לה�2 Genesis 22:9;Deuteronomy ע�

Hiph`il) ר ע� ב�  Nehemiah 10:35; but ל ח� ב� ז מ� Genesis 8:20 (J)Numbers ב�23:2,4,14,30 (E); one touching the altar is מ ע� ב� נLג� Exodus׳ה�29:37 (P); ׳לפני המ of placing, or standing before altarDeuteronomy 26:4; 1 Kings 8:22; as

accusative of location ה ח< � ב� ז מ� in phrases especially with ה�יר ט� ק ה Exodus 29:13 +, and ה� ל< zע Hה Leviticus 14:20.

12 the horns of the altar were especially for the application of the blood of the sin-offering in the ritual; sin is represented as graven ם Hיכ חוIת� ב ז נוIת מ� ר ק� Jeremiah 17:1; therefore of blood forלcleansing it was said ן על קרנות המ ת� Exodus 29:12; Leviticus ׳נ<4:7,18,25,30,34; Leviticus 8:15;Leviticus 9:9; Leviticus 16:18 (all P). An ancient custom is referred to,Psalm 118:27  ג רוח�2 ס ים  א� ? בLת� Gע ב�רנות המזבח דק2 bind the festal victim with cords, unto the horns of ע�the altar: Ainsworth paraphrases: 'that is, all the court over, untill you come even to the hornes of the altar, intending hereby many sacrifices,' so De; but Che 'bind the procession with branches, (step on) to the altar-horns,' that is in sacred procession round the altar.

13 the דIסו (q. v.) is also referred to in the ritual of the sin-offerings in יthe phrases ק אל יסוד צ� ך אל  & Leviticus 8:15; Leviticus 9:9 י< פ� ש<האל  Exodus 29:12; Leviticus 4:7,18,25,30,34 (all P) יסוד צ� ימ<.Leviticus 5:9 יסוד

14 the altar was ים ש� ד< ש ק< HדLק Exodus 29:37; Exodus 40:10(P); but repeated sin-offerings were necessary to keep it pure and cleanse it from the pollution of the people in whose midst it was situated. This is expressed by א ט� ר ;Leviticus 8:15 (P) Ezekiel 43:22 ח� Hמ Leviticusכ�16:20,33 (P) Ezekiel 43:26; ש ד� Exodus 29:44; Exodus ק�40:10; Leviticus 8:15; Numbers 7:1 (P);  ר ה� 2ט� Chronicles 29:18.
