2. the altar of incense, which stood in the sanctuary or Holy place (B. D. as above): τό θυσιαστήριον τοῦ θυμιάματος, Luke 1:11 (Exodus 30:1); (symbolically) in Heaven: Revelation 6:9; Revelation 8:3, 5; Revelation 9:13; Revelation 14:18; Revelation 16:7.

3. any other altar, James 2:21; plural Romans 11:3; metaphorically, the cross on which Christ suffered an expiatory death: to eat of this altar i. e. to appropriate to oneself the fruits of Christ's expiatory death, Hebrews 13:10.
