Exodus 30:1-7

1“Now you shall make 1an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.

2Its length shall be 2a cubit, and its width a cubit; it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be 3of one piece with it.

3You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its 4sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it.

4You shall also make two gold rings for it under its molding; you shall make them on its two sides--on 5opposite sides--and 6they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it.

5And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

6You shall put 7this altar in front of the veil that is 8near the ark of the testimony, in front of the 9 10atoning cover that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you.

7Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; he shall burn it every morning when he trims the lamps.
