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?
