27:1-19 Specific instructions and measurements are given for the creation of the Altar (for burnt offering). Remember that God halted the practice of sacrifice, Hosea 6:6.
27:20-21 The children of Israel are instructed to bring pure olive oil for fuel to light the lamps they use to enter. Oil is represented of our Anointed One, Jesus (although the children of Israel may not realize that yet). The Lampstand in the alter is meant to symbolize God's everlasting covenant with all generations of the children of Israel.
