祭壇
御言葉に記されている最初の祭壇は、ノアが箱舟から出てきた後、ノアが建てたものです。その祭壇で、きれいな動物を主のために犠牲にしました。山は高いところにあるので、主を象徴し、私たちが主と「話す」ときには、この世のものよりも思考を高めなければなりません。祭壇は小さな人工的な山ですが、礼拝に使われると、この思考の高揚を思い起こさせ、火と煙を上げて、象徴的に主に送ることができます。祭壇の多くは、切り立っていない石で作られています。石は真理を表し、人の手によって形作られていない石は、御言葉の真理、汚されていない真理を表します。きれいな獣は善いこと、正しいからこそ行う慈善的な行為を表し、きれいな鳥は教義と行動、何が正しいかについての考えを表しています。ですから、これらのことを提示するということは、私たちが主からそれらをもらったことを認め、主に感謝することなのです。 イスラエルの幕屋では，焼燔の供え物の祭壇は善の承認を表し，香の祭壇は真理の承認を表していました。そのため、扉の外にあったこの大きな祭壇は、自然の善を意味する真鍮で作られ、線香の祭壇は真理から来る主への愛を意味する金で作られていました。
