### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Used of the altar of incense: it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide. Interpretation: Tradition reads the square shape of the incense altar as a fixed, orderly design that Moses was told to follow exactly; the altar was for burning incense, not animal offerings.

### examples

- A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits shall be the height thereof; the horns thereof shall be of one piece with it.
