Exodus 30:1-8 ▼

1 “And you have made an altar [for] making incense; you make it of shittim wood;

2 a cubit its length and a cubit its breadth (it is square), and two cubits its height; its horns [are] of the same.

3 And you have overlaid it with pure gold—its top, and around its sides, and its horns; and you have made a crown of gold for it all around;

4 and you make two rings of gold for it, under its crown on its two ribs; you make [them] on its two sides, and they have become places for poles to carry it with them.

5 And you have made the poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them with gold;

6 and you have put it before the veil, which [is] by the Ark of the Testimony, before the propitiatory covering which [is] over the Testimony, where I meet with you.

7 And Aaron has made incense on it, incense of spices, morning by morning; in his making the lamps right, he makes incense [on] it,

8 and in Aaron’s causing the lamps to go up between the evenings, he makes incense [on] it; [it is] a continual incense before YHWH throughout your generations.
