The Altar of Incense
30:1 “You are to make an altar for burning incense; you are to make it of acacia wood.
30:2 Its length is to be a foot and a half and its width a foot and a half; it will be square. Its height is to be three feet, with its horns of one piece with it.
30:3 You are to overlay it with pure gold – its top, its four walls, and its horns – and make a surrounding border of gold for it.
30:4 You are to make two gold rings for it under its border, on its two flanks; you are to make them on its two sides. The rings will be places for poles to carry it with.
30:5 You are to make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
30:6 “You are to put it in front of the curtain that is before the ark of the testimony (before the atonement lid that is over the testimony), where I will meet you.
