John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And thou shall set the altar of the burnt offering, etc.] 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.”
