He will take an incense burner full of burning coals from the altar in Jehovah's presence, and two handfuls of finely ground, sweet-smelling incense. He will bring them up to the canopy. He must place the incense on the fire in Jehovah's presence. The cloud of incense will cover the throne of mercy. This is over the words of God's promise, so that he will not die.
Moses said to Aaron: Take your incense burner, put burning coals from the altar and incense in it, and go quickly into the congregation to make peace with Jehovah for the people.
