AL'TAR, noun [Latin altare, probably from the same root as altus, high.
1. A mount; a table or elevated place, on which sacrifices where anciently offered to some deity. Altars were originally made of turf, afterwards of stone, wood or horn; some were round, others square, others triangular. They differed also in height, but all faced the east. The principal altars of the Jews were, the altar of incense, of burnt-offerings, and of shewbread; all of shittim wood, and covered with gold or brass.
2. In modern churches, the communion table; and, figuratively, a church; a place of worship.

We have an altar whereof they have no right to eat, who serve tabernacles. Hebrews 13:10.
