1 ‘Make an altar of acacia wood for burning incense.
2 It is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high – its horns of one piece with it.
3 Overlay the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and make a gold moulding around it.
4 Make two gold rings for the altar below the moulding – two on each of the opposite sides – to hold the poles used to carry it.
5 Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
6 Put the altar in front of the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law – before the atonement cover that is over the tablets of the covenant law – where I will meet with you.
7 ‘Aaron must burn fragrant incense on the altar every morning when he tends the lamps.
