 * the altar of the Lord.
   This altar of Jehovah was probably built in the time of the
   judges; and it was even known among the heathen by the name of
   the altar of Carmel.  Both Tacitus and Suetonius mention an
   altar on mount Carmel, which Vespasian went to consult: there
   was no temple nor statue, but simply an altar, venerable for
   its antiquity.
