Exodus 30:1-7

1“Then make another altar of acacia wood for burning incense.

2Make it 18 inches square and 36 inches high, with horns at the corners carved from the same piece of wood as the altar itself.

3Overlay the top, sides, and horns of the altar with pure gold, and run a gold molding around the entire altar.

4Make two gold rings, and attach them on opposite sides of the altar below the gold molding to hold the carrying poles.

5Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

6Place the incense altar just outside the inner curtain that shields the Ark of the Covenant, in front of the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement—that covers the tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant. I will meet with you there.

7“Every morning when Aaron maintains the lamps, he must burn fragrant incense on the altar.
