Exegesis

The adverb saviv {סָבִיב | săviv} ‘around’ and the prepositional phrase lamizbeach {לַמִּזְבֵּחַ | lammizbêaḥ} ‘to the altar’ complete the spatial description, which English renders by preserving the sequence, dedication formula, and comparative measurement in fluid narrative order.

In context1 Kings 18:32

And he built the stones into an altar in the name of the LORD and made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two seahs of seed.
