1 “And you shall make an altar to burn incense on, make it of acacia wood,
2 a cubit long and a cubit wide – it is a square – and two cubits high, its horns of the same.
3 “And you shall overlay its top, and its sides all around, and its horns with clean gold. And you shall make for it a moulding of gold all around.
4 “And make two gold rings for it, under the moulding on both its sides. Make them on its two sides, and they shall be holders for the poles to lift it with.
5 “And you shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 “And you shall put it before the veil that is before the ark of the Witness, before the lid of atonement that is over the Witness, where I am to meet with you.
7 “And Aharon shall burn on it sweet incense, morning by morning. As he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
