This is the base[d] of the altar. 14 The distance from the gutter on the ground to the lower ledge is 3½ feet,[e] and the width of the ledge is 21 inches. There are 7 feet[f] from the small ledge to the large ledge, whose width is also 21 inches. 15 The altar hearth[g] is 7 feet high, and four horns(C) project upward from the hearth.
