This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
An altar for God’s worship; not a Levitical, but a spiritual and evangelical altar, as appears from hence, because that was confined to one place, Deu_12:13,14. The altar is put for the worship of God, as it is in many places both of the Old and New Testament. And nothing is more common in the prophets than to speak of gospel worship in the phrases of the law.
A pillar; a monument of the true religion. Here also he alludes to the ancient custom of erecting pillars to God; of which See Poole "Gen_12:7", See Poole "Gen_28:18", See Poole "Jos_22:10", See Poole "Jos_24:26", See Poole "Jos_24:27".
At the border thereof; as before, in the midst of it. The meaning is, There shall be evidences of their piety in all places.
