2 Chronicles 4:1-10 Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof… 1. The altar of brass. Larger than that in tabernacle. When God enlarges our borders and business we should increase our gifts. 2. The sea of brass. God requires sanctity in all that approach Him (James 4:8). 3. The ten layers. Not only the priests, but the sacrifices, must be washed. We must purify our persons and performances. Iniquity cleaves to our holy things. 4. The ten golden candlesticks. One in tabernacle. Light increases. 5. The ten tables. 6. The golden altar. Christ makes atonement and intercedes for ever in virtue of that atonement. (J. Wolfendale.)
