Ezekiel
Ezekiel 43:16ESV·traditional attribution
The altar hearth shall be square, twelve cubits long by twelve broad.
Matthew Henry Presbyterian
Christ is our altar, and these measurements show how His sacrifice sanctifies all our service. The benches where priests stood and handed offerings upward teach us a profound truth: in God's work we must assist one another, each dependent on the next, all moving toward the One who takes away sin.

John Gill Reformed Baptist
Twelve cubits square in every direction. The foursquare shape marks the vastness of Christ's sacrifice, its perfection and permanence. His doctrine, embraced by the twelve apostles and the twelve tribes, removes the sin of His people once and for all.
