Hi James, the 'four horns' are actually horns that had to be placed at the corners of the altar and is not a unit of measurement. If you would like to see a 'depiction' of the altar of the burnt offering, just google those words & some pictures should come up. One cannot say whether the original altar resembled the ones portrayed, but it should give you an idea of the size & of course, the horns. And verse 20 tells us that the blood of the animals had to be sprinkled on specific parts of the altar, including on the horns.

Since the verses before and after verse 15 (vss 13-17) of Ezekiel 43 (KJV Bible) are talking about measurements of the altar what is "four horns." talking about? I can't find a Biblical measure called a "horn".
