So the Altar shall be foure cubits] From the lower to the upper bench: this is properly called the Altar, because that space between the lower bench, was the place of ashes. In the Hebrew this verse is literally thus: And the mount of God foure cubits, and from the lion of God and upward four horne: where the body of the Altar betwixt the two benches is called the mount of God, as if God dwelled upon the Altar in a singular manner as on a little mountaine in the greater mount of the sanctuary. And the grate whereon the sacrifices were laid, is called the lion of God, because it devoured so much flesh, and so many beasts in sacrifice.
