The Top of the Mizbeach

The priests performed their duties and brought the offerings on the top part of the mizbeach. On the top of the mizbeach there were three woodpiles: the large woodpile, the incense woodpile and the woodpile for the perpetual fire. The ash pile was in the center. On the southwestern horn, there were two cups for the wine and water libations and a pile of salt for the libations and for the meal offerings.
