Exodus 30:1-8 ▼

1 “You shall also make an altar, for the burning of incense, from setim wood,

2 having one cubit in length, and another in width, that is, four equal sides, and two cubits in height. Horns shall proceed from the same.

3 And you shall clothe it with the purest gold, both its grating and the walls around it, and also the horns. And you shall make for it a crown of gold in a circle,

4 and two gold rings under the crown on each side, so that the bars may be set in them and the altar may be carried.

5 Also, you shall make its bars of setim wood, and you shall overlay them with gold.

6 And you shall set the altar opposite the veil, which hangs in front of the ark of the testimony, before the propitiatory with which the testimony is covered, where I will speak to you.

7 And Aaron shall burn incense upon it, a sweet fragrance, in the morning. When he lights the lamps, he shall burn it.

8 And when he assembles them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
