מצבה ומזבח

מצבה ומזבח / Obelisk & Altar / Male & Female

Immensely enjoyed the observations in Isaiah Cox's writings on Pillars although I still feel there is a need for further understanding of ולא תקים לך מצבה אשר שנא ה' אלהיך

Particularly enjoyed the insight that מזבח is a functional (process-oriented) structure whereas מצבה is simply an object of static Being without need for services and functions. This being far-reaching indeed. See here as one example post of many.

Just one note to jot down:
the מצבה as in ה' צבאות  vs. the  מזבח as in זבחי אלהים.
