(a) The Mizbach ha'Olah of the Beis ha'Mikdash consisted of three concrete
and stone platforms poured one on top of the other. The Yesod (bottom
platform) was 32 Amos long, 32 Amos wide and 1 Amah high. The second
platform was 30 Amos long, 30 Amos wide and 5 Amos high. The third platform
(which the Rambam calls "Mekom ha'Ma'arachah"), upon which the sacrifices
were offered, was 28 Amos long, 28 Amos wide, and 3 Amos high. A Keren
(horn), which was a one-Amah cube, was poured on each corner of the upper
platform. (RAMBAM Hilchos Beis ha'Bechirah 2:5-8)
(b) The Yesod protruded outward one Amah further than the middle section on
two complete sides, the northern and the western. It protruded on the
eastern and southern sides only for the length of one Amah from the northern
and western corners. The blood of many of the Korbanos was cast on the sides
of the Mizbe'ach above the Yesod, and it ran down to the Yesod (Zevachim
37a, based upon Vayikra 5:9). The remainder of the blood of some Korbanos
was poured directly onto the Yesod, as it states in the Torah (Shemos 29:12;
Vayikra 4:7; etc.)
(c) The Kohanim walked upon the part of the middle platform that jutted out
one Amah on each side past the upper platform. This was called the "Sovev",
because it encircled the Mizbe'ach.
(d) The Keranos were hollow. (RAMBAM ibid. 2:8)
(e) The ramp was 32 Amos long and 16 Amos wide, and was separated from the
south side of the Mizbe'ach by a hair's breadth (Pesachim 77a, Zevachim
62b). It was indented on the bottom, at the face of the Mizbe'ach, such that
it covered the Sovev.
6) [line 4] IKULEI OLAH - partially-consumed parts of the Olah that burst
and flew off of the bonfire on the Mizbe'ach
