Repairing the Destroyed Altar
Exegetical Approaches
Old Altar
Sources:The altar had been made much earlier, in one of the eras in which it was permitted to erect private altars.
Recent Altar
Sources:The altar was built after the Beit HaMIkdash was constructed, but was permitted since the Mikdash was inaccessible to those living in the Northern Kingdom.
New Altar
Sources:The altar was erected by Eliyahu himself, earlier in the day, but was destroyed by the Baal prophets.
No Altar
Eliyahu's fixing of the destroyed altar is a metaphor for his repairing the nation's relationship with Hashem.
