Exodus 30:1-10

1And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it. 2A cubit shall be its length, and a cubit its breadth; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be its height: its horns shall be of the same. 3And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its sides all around, and its horns; and thou shalt make for it a crown of gold all around.12 4And two golden rings shalt thou make for it under its crown, by its two corners, upon its two sides shalt thou make it ; and they shall be for places for the staffs to bear it with.3 5And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. 6And thou shalt put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. 7And Aaron shall burn on it sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it.4 8And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at the evening, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.56 9Ye shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering on it. 10And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in a year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy to the LORD.
