2 Chronicles 4:1
Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.
2 Chronicles 4:1 belongs to the description of Solomon's temple, a permanent sanctuary built on the same general plan as Moses' tabernacle but on a larger and grander scale that enlarged the tabernacle's plan. That temple had two holy places and sacred vessels of the same kind as those in the tabernacle, increased in size and number, following a divinely given pattern and serving the same ministry as the tabernacle. The temple so described was a pattern of the heavenly temple.
The verse describes the temple's large bronze altar of burnt offerings in its court, measuring twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high. Its length and breadth were four times those of the corresponding altar in the wilderness tabernacle, even though the temple apartments were only twice as large as the tabernacle apartments. The difference in size is explained by the possibility that this was the altar David had built on the site he bought from Ornan the Jebusite.
The chapter containing the verse shows that the temple worker Hiram Abiff completed the work for which he was employed. As far as the biblical record indicates, he lived until after the temple was finished. The Bible does not say where or when he died.
