Context of Exodus 37:26

24He made it and all its utensils from a talent of pure gold. 25Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it. And he overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around. 27He also made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides--on opposite sides--as holders for poles with which to carry it. 28And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.
