The Yesod: The Base of the Mizbeach

The base of the mizbeach was called the Yesod (foundation). It ran along the northern and western sides of the mizbeach. In addition, the base protruded one additional cubit on the northeastern and southwestern corners. The section of the mizbeach that had the base was situated in the tribal portion of Benjamin, and the section of the mizbeach that had no base was located in Judah's portion. *
