Exodus 27:1

And thou shalt make the altar of acacia-wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be four-square; and the height thereof shall be three cubits.

What's bothering Rashi?

The verse says the altar shall be square and three cubits high. Why is the stated height three cubits a difficulty?

Look closely. What seems repeated, missing, out of order, or strange?
