והאראיל [וְהָאֲרִיאֵ֗ל] שְׁתֵּ֤ים עֶשְׂרֵה֙ אֹ֔רֶךְ בִּשְׁתֵּ֥ים עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה רֹ֑חַב רָב֕וּעַ אֶ֖ל אַרְבַּ֥עַת רְבָעָֽיו׃
그 번제하는 바닥의 장이 십이 척이요 광이 십이 척이니 네모 반듯하고
The Third Beit HaMikdash
The upper surface of the Altar was a square, measuring 28 cubits by 28 cubits. It was divided by measuring 12 cubits from its center to each side, producing a square 24 cubits by 24 cubits. This was the area where the Altar’s pyres were arranged.1Middos 3:1. This is alluded to by the verse,2Yechezkel 43:16. “The Ariel was 12 [cubits] in length and 12 [cubits] in width.”
