And this is the height^[d] of the altar: ¹⁴From the gutter the altar rises 3 1⁄2 feet^[e] to a lower ledge that surrounds the altar and is 21 inches^[f] wide. From the lower ledge the altar rises 7 feet^[g] to the upper ledge that is also 21 inches wide. ¹⁵The top of the altar, the hearth, rises another 7 feet higher, with a horn rising up from each of the four corners.
