         DefinitionShort: any type of altar or object where gifts may be placed and ritual observances carried out in honor of supernatural beings (in the NT θυσιαστήριον is employed to refer to a number of different types of altars; including the altar for burnt offerings in the Temple; the altar of incense; the altar which Abraham built; and the heavenly altar mentioned in the book of Revelation).

         Glosses: altar

         Comments: A descriptive equivalent of ‘altar’ occurs in some languages as ‘a place where offerings are made to God’ or ‘a place where gifts are given to God.’ In some contexts it may be necessary to add phrases such as ‘where sacrifices are burned to God’ or ‘where incense is burned to honor God.’
