1 ⌊The Lord continued,⌋ “Build an altar out of acacia wood for burning incense.
2 Make it 18 inches square and 36 inches high. The horns and altar must be made out of one piece ⌊of wood⌋.
3 Cover all of it with pure gold—the top, the sides, and the horns. Put a gold molding around it.
4 Make two gold rings, and put them below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles for carrying it.
5 Make the poles out of acacia wood, and cover them with gold.
6 Put the altar in front of the canopy which ⌊hangs⌋ over the ark containing the words of my promise. I will meet with you there in front of the throne of mercy that is on the ark.
7 “Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on this altar every morning when he takes care of the lamps.
