Senses in use

  1. The measured altar structure · dominant

    In Ezekiel 43:15, the masculine singular absolute form occurs in the clause describing a four-cubit structure and four horns rising from it. In Ezekiel 43:16, the same singular form appears twice in the description of a twelve-by-twelve, four-sided square structure; the APB renders the verse with “the altar” while describing those measurements.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the relevant structure as “the altar” in both verses, alongside its dimensions and horns. This rendering identifies the verse’s structure without isolating each occurrence individually.
