when there appear'd to him an angel of the Lord standing on the right side of the incense-altar.

and another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given to him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar, which was before the throne.

I have now receiv'd the whole, and have more than sufficient: I am loaded with the presents you sent by Epaphroditus, which I have receiv'd as grateful incense, as a sacrifice which God accepts and approves.

and the smoke of the incense together with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God, out of the angel's hand.

and according to the custom of distributing the parts, it fell to his lot to burn incense in the sanctuary.

and all the congregation of the people stood praying without, at the time of offering incense,

in these words, "Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I alone am left, and they seek my life also."
