05.30. Appendix B.

Appendix B.—Altar Of Burnt Offering. THE subjoined cut represents the altar of burnt-offering, as understood and explained in the text. It no farther differs from the figure given in F. Von Meyer, than that the horns at the four corners are made in imitation of actual horns (of cattle), while in Meyer they are merely little perpendicular projections.

A is the open space within the boards, in which an earthen or stone fire place was constructed.

B is the network of brass, supporting the projecting ledge.

C is the projecting ledge itself (the carcob of Exodus 27:4-5).

D is the incline, made of stones or earth, by which the priest readied the ledge. a b c d are the horns of the altar.
