The altar was of wood, three cubits high, and its length two cubits; its corners, its base, and its sides were of wood.

Walls - The corner pieces of the altar, rising into projections called in Exodus horns, here corners. Table - “table and altar” were convertible terms Malachi 1:7.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 22The only piece of furniture was a wooden altar, the table that stands in the Lord’s presence. This is likely where the priests daily placed the bread of the presence before the Lord (Exodus 25:30). Describing this table as an altar emphasizes the focus on sacrifice in Ezekiel’s temple.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2222. table ... before the Lord--the altar of incense (Eze 44:16). At it, not at the table of showbread, the priests daily ministered. It stood in front of the veil, and is therefore said to be "before the Lord." It is called a table, as being that at which the Lord will take delight in His people, as at a feast. Hence its dimensions are larger than that of old--three cubits high, two broad, instead of two and one.Read the comment
