Exodus 30:1-10 - The Altar Of Incense
1 And thou shall make an altar to burn incense upon. Thou shall make it of acacia wood. 2 A cubit shall be the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it (it shall be foursquare), and two cubits shall be the height of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it. 3 And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it round about, and the horns of it. And thou shall make to it a crown of gold round about. 4 And two golden rings thou shall make for it under the crown of it, upon the two ribs of it, upon the two sides of it thou shall make them. And they shall be for places for staves with which to bear it. 5 And thou shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 And thou shall 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. 7 And Aaron shall burn in it incense of sweet spices. Every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it. 8 And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before LORD throughout your generations. 9 Ye shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt-offering, nor meal-offering. And ye shall pour no drink-offering on it.
10 And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year, with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement. Once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to LORD.
