Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 43:13-27.


Ezekiel 43:15

_ _ altarHebrew, Harel, that is, “mount of God”; denoting the high security to be imparted by it to the restored Israel. It was a high place, but a high place of God, not of idols.

_ _ from the altar — literally, “the lion of God,” Ariel (in Isaiah 29:1, “Ariel” is applied to Jerusalem). Menochius supposes that on it four animals were carved; the lion perhaps was the uppermost, whence the horns were made to issue. Gesenius regards the two words as expressing the “hearth” or fireplace of the altar.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ezekiel 43:13-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ezekiel 43:15

Four cubits — In height. From the altar — From the top of the altar.
