What does the Bible say about building altars?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible illustrates altars as places for sacrifices and memorials to God's mercy.

In the Old Testament, altars served as significant markers for worship and remembrance. They were built to offer sacrifices to the Lord, as seen in the accounts of Noah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Each altar not only symbolized gratitude and acknowledgment of God's mercy but also stood as a testament to God's faithfulness in His covenantal promises. For instance, Noah's altar commemorated his deliverance from the flood, while Abraham built an altar as a response to God's promise of land to his descendants.
