This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
the lower settle: These settles were ledges by which the altar was narrowed towards the top. Hence the upper part of the altar was only twelve cubits square (Eze 43:16), the upper settle, or ledge, being in all fourteen cubits (Eze 43:17), deducting two cubits from its dimensions. Though this altar was the same in height, and breadth with that of Solomon, yet it differed materially from it in having settles or ledges; on which the priests walked round the altar, to officiate in offering sacrifices.
