Exodus 40:6
Ver. 6. And thou shall set the altar of the burnt offering,.... Where the sacrifices of the people were to be brought, and offered up by the priests; and this was to be set up in the open court, as it was proper it should, both because of the smell and smoke of the sacrifices:
before the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; just a little before the entrance into the holy place.
