1 “Make an altar out of acacia wood for burning incense.
2 Make it square—eighteen inches long and eighteen inches wide—and make it thirty-six inches high. The corners that stick out like horns must be one piece with the altar.
3 Cover its top, its sides, and its corners with pure gold, and put a gold strip all around the altar.
4 Make two gold rings beneath the gold strip on opposite sides of the altar, and slide poles through them to carry the altar.
5 Make the poles from acacia wood and cover them with gold.
6 Put the altar of incense in front of the curtain that is near the Ark of the Agreement, in front of the lid that covers that Ark. There I will meet with you.
7 “Aaron must burn sweet-smelling incense on the altar every morning when he comes to take care of the oil lamps.
