“Hollow with boards shalt thou make it: as it was shewed thee in the mount, so shall they make it. it was: Heb. he shewed”
Exodus 27:8 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 27:8
The altar is made 'hollow with boards'—not solid but a frame, likely filled with earth or stones at each camp (Exodus 20:24-25). This hollow construction made it portable yet functional. The principle: the altar's form matters (God's prescribed pattern) but its core is filled with created materials (earth/stones). Christ's humanity (earth) filled divine form, making atonement both heavenly in origin and earthly in execution. God's pattern received material substance.
