Exodus 30:1-10 - The Altar Of Incense

1 And make an altar for burning incense: of acacia wood shalt thou make it 2 A cubit its length, a cubit its breadth; it shall be four-square; and two cubits its height: its horns out of it. 3 And spread it over with pure gold its top, and its walls round about, and its horns: and make to it a gold wreath round about 4 And two gold rings shalt thou make to it from under its crown, upon its two ribs, shalt thou make upon its two sides; and it was for inner parts for staves to lift it up by them. 5 And make staves of acacia wood, and spread them over with gold.

6 And give it before the vail that is upon the ark of the testimonies, before the cover which is upon the testimonies, where I will meet with thee there. 7 And Aaron to burn upon it incense of spices in the morning: in the morning in his adorning the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it 8 And in Aaron's causing the lamps, to ascend between the two evenings, he shall burn incense upon it; continually before Jehovah for your generations. 9 And ye shall not bring up upon it strange incense; and a burnt-offering, a sacrifice and a libation thou shalt not pour out upon it.

10 And Aaron to expiate upon its horns once in a year, from the blood of the sin of the expiation: once in a year he shall expiate upon it for your generations: it is holy of holies to Jehovah.
