1 Chronicles 28:18

28:18 and for the refined gold of the incense altar.

He gave him ¹  the blueprint for the seat ²  of the gold cherubim that spread their wings ³  and provide shelter for the ark of the Lord’s covenant.

1 Chronicles 6:49

6:49 But Aaron and his descendants offered sacrifices on the altar for burnt offerings and on the altar for incense as they had been assigned to do in the most holy sanctuary. ⁴  They made atonement for Israel, just as God’s servant Moses had ordered. ⁵ 

[28:18]  ¹ tn The words “he gave him” are supplied in the translation for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[28:18]  ² tc The Hebrew text reads מֶרְכָּבָה (merkavah, “chariot”), but the final he (ה) is probably dittographic – note the prefixed he (ה) on the immediately following word. It is preferable to read מֶרְכָּב (merkav, “seat”).

[28:18]  ³ tc The Hebrew text does not have “their wings,” but the word כְּנָפַיִם (kÿnafayim, “wings”) has probably been accidentally omitted by homoioteleuton. Note that the immediately preceding לְפֹרְשִׂים (lÿforsim) also ends in mem (ם).

[6:49]  ⁴ tn Heb “for all the work of the holy of holies.”

[6:49]  ⁵ tn Heb “making atonement for Israel according to all which Moses the servant of God commanded.”
