Ver. 1.-Two difficulties occur in the command of making this altar.–First, that if this altar was to be only three cubits high, the command, in chap. xx. ver. 26, not to go up with steps on the altar seems to be needless. Secondly, its dimensions being five cubits long and five cubits broad, it is not requisite to repeat that it is to be square; therefore, I think, that it was built on an eminence from the ground, raised to a certain height; and this perhaps was circular, and only the three top cubits were four-square; for, the addition of four-square may be joined to the three cubits high, and so refer it to that only, and not to the height of the altar; and so Rashy seems to explain it.

* Heb. Fifty by fifty. The word ton doth not mean always, but continuały, or constantly-meaning to light it every night, but not to be always burning, as rendered in the English translation, which also appears from the next verse, viz. from evening to morning, i. e. from sun-set to day-light :-though indeed the Rabbins assert, that it was always burning.

# There should be the five articles the, added to the five substantives in this verse, they being expressed in the Hebrew, and should not be left out, as they refer to the particular gold, &c. of the offering, and not to any kind of gold, &c.
