제단의 척수는 이러하니라 (한 자는 팔꿈치에서부터 손가락에 이르고 한 손바닥 넓이가 더한 것이라) 제단 밑받침의 고가 일 척이요 그 사면 가장자리의 광이 일 척이며 그 가으로 둘린 턱의 광이 한 뼘이니 이는 제단 밑받침이요
Tosefta Kelim Metzia
Rabbi Meir says, all measurements that the Sages stated about a vineyard (see Kilayim 7:3), such as an empty patch in a vineyard, and the space between the vineyard and the fence, and the gaps in an aris, and the papyrus-ropes [of a trellis], all of them are [measured] with cubits of six handbreadths,*the translation "six handbreadths" follows the GR"A; the printed text, "five handbreadths," is inconsistent with the discussion that follows except for the golden Altar, and the horns [of the Altar], and the surrounding [area], and the foundation, which are [measured] with a cubit of five handbreadths, as it is said (Ez. 43:13, JPS tr.), "And these are the dimensions of the Altar, in cubits [where each is a cubit and a handbreadth]" -- that there were two measurements for the Altar. But perhaps all of them were [measured] with a cubit of five handbreadths? Thus the verse states, "With a cubits, each cubit [being] a cubit and a handbreadth," [meaning] with a cubit that is larger than its counterpart by a handbreadth.
