1 “Make an altar out of acacia wood, for burning incense.
2 It is to be square, 18 inches long and 18 inches wide, and it is to be 36 inches high. Its projections at the four corners are to form one piece with it.
3 Cover its top, all four sides, and its projections with pure gold, and put a gold border around it.
4 Make two gold carrying rings for it and attach them below the border on two sides to hold the poles with which it is to be carried.
5 Make these poles of acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 Put this altar outside the curtain which hangs in front of the Covenant Box. That is the place where I will meet you.
7 Every morning when Aaron comes to take care of the lamps, he is to burn sweet-smelling incense on it.
