“And thou shalt set the altar of the burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation.”
Exodus 40:6 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 40:6
The bronze altar of burnt offering 'before the door' (לִפְנֵי פֶּתַח, lifnei petach) establishes sacrifice as prerequisite for entry. Before accessing the Holy Place (prayer, fellowship, service), worshippers must pass the bronze altar (atonement). This sequence teaches the gospel order: justification precedes sanctification, forgiveness precedes fellowship, blood before blessing. The altar's bronze material, enduring fire's heat, symbolizes judgment borne. Christ, our sacrifice (Hebrews 9:26; 10:10), satisfied divine wrath, enabling access.
