Ezekiel Chapter 41 Vs. 22

 The Inner Temple

The altar of wood was three cubits high, and the length thereof two cubits; and the corners thereof, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were of wood: and he said unto me, This is the table that is before the LORD. Eze 41:22

altar of wood... This altar was different from the large altar of sacrifice in the center of the 100-cubit square and in front of the temple. This was the altar of incense, 6 feet 3 inches high and 4 feet 2 inches square, all of wood instead of being covered with gold like the one Moses made for the tabernacle. Here it is called a table that is before the Lord.

three cubits high... This would be 5 feet 3 inches.

thereof two cubits... This would be 3 feet 6 inches.

This was the altar of incense.

Again, the altar made of wood was 6 feet 3 inches high and 4 feet 2 inches square. This was all made of wood. “Wood” is symbolic of the world. LORD is Jehovah. This same altar had been made of shittim wood covered with 24 karat gold in the tabernacle in the wilderness. This to be made of just wood, is strange. This wood could symbolize that all the world will stand before God. Perhaps it was made of wood, because it was to be built in hard times, when there would be no gold.

The only piece of furniture in the temple proper Ezekiel described was a wooden altar three cubits (6 feet 3 inches high) and two cubits (4 feet square), called the table that is before the Lord (Eze. 41:22). Was this the altar of incense in the holy place (cf. Exo. 30:1-3; 1Ki. 7:48) or the table that held the bread of the Presence? (Exo. 25:23-30) The proportions of the piece are closer to those of the altar of incense (cf. Exo. 25:23; 30:1-2).
