As it was five cubits long and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, if the cubit be reckoned at 21 inches, it must have been eight feet nine inches square, and about five feet three inches in height. 27:1-8; 40:6,29; 2Ch 4:1; Eze 43:13-17; Ro 8:3,4; 12:1; Heb 3:1Heb 9:14; 13:10; 1Pe 2:5foursquare; and three cubits the height thereof.Eze 43:16; Joh 6:37; Heb 13:8; Re 21:16 he made.27:2brass.Job 6:12 he made.27:3flesh-hooks.1Sa 2:13 4 the grate.27:4 25:6; De 10:3 to bear it withal.Ac 9:15; 1Co 1:24; 2:2Exodus 40:10
