    Since the verses before and after verse 15 (vss 13-17) of Ezekiel 43 (KJV Bible) are talking about measurements of the altar what is "four horns." talking about? I can't find a Biblical measure called a "horn".

    Hi James, the 'four horns' are actually horns that had to be placed at the corners of the altar and is not a unit of measurement. If you would like to see a 'depiction' of the altar of the burnt offering, just google those words & some pictures should come up. One cannot say whether the original altar resembled the ones portrayed, but it should give you an idea of the size & of course, the horns. And verse 20 tells us that the blood of the animals had to be sprinkled on specific parts of the altar, including on the horns.
