altar in Exodus 27
ALL-ter
This thing shows up in Exodus 27:1: ““You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square: and its height shall be three…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
Exodus 27:1
““You shall make the altar of acacia wood, five cubits long, and five cubits wide; the altar shall be square: and its height shall be three cubits.”
What kids can learn
When you hear altar in Exodus, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
