This may perhaps be said to be the most perfect earthly shape of a plane (the 'cube' being perfection for a solid). See 'four' under NUMBFRS. It was the shape of the brazen altar, Ex. 27: 1; Ex. 38: 1; the breastplate, Ex. 28: 16; Ex. 39: 9; and the altar of incense, Ex. 30: 2; Ex. 37: 25. Apparently it was the shape of the 'panels' of the base of the molten sea in Solomon's temple, 1 Kings 7: 31; also of the court of the future temple, Ezek. 40: 47; the altar of the same, Ezek. 43: 16; the portion of the land offered as a holy oblation, Ezek. 48: 20; for the sanctuary, Ezek. 45: 2; and for the city, Ezek. 48: 16.
