In Ezekiel 43:16, the dimensions of the upper altar—four cubits in height—are symbolic, reflecting the divine presence and power that elevates the sacrificial offering to a spiritual level. The four horns at the top represent stability and protection, signifying God's overarching authority and support over the offerings made there.
