Exodus 30:1-7

1⌞The Lord continued,⌟ “Build an altar out of acacia wood for burning incense.

2Make it 18 inches square and 36 inches high. The horns and altar must be made out of one piece ⌞of wood⌟.

3Cover all of it with pure gold—the top, the sides, and the horns. Put a gold molding around it.

4Make two gold rings, and put them below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles for carrying it.

5Make the poles out of acacia wood, and cover them with gold.

6Put the altar in front of the canopy which ⌞hangs⌟ over the ark containing the words of my promise. I will meet with you there in front of the throne of mercy that is on the ark.

7“Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar every morning when he takes care of the lamps.
