* altar.
   This must signify the altar of incense; which, both in the
   tabernacle and Solomon's temple, was covered with plates of
   gold.  It is very remarkable, that in this temple described by
   Ezekiel, there is not the least mention of gold or silver,
   though there was such a profusion of these metals in the
   former; which may probably imply, that a glory of a more
   spiritual nature was intended under these emblems.
