Exodus 30:1–10

And thou shalt make ^aan altar to burn incense upon: of shittim wood shalt thou make it. ²A cubit shall be the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof; foursquare shall it be: and two cubits shall be the height thereof: the horns thereof shall be ^bof the same. ³And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold, the ^†top thereof, and the ^†sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof; and thou shalt make unto it a ^ccrown of gold round about. ⁴And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two ^†corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for ^dplaces for the staves to bear it withal. ⁵And thou shalt make the staves of shittim wood, and overlay them with gold. ⁶And thou shalt put it before the vail that is by the ark of the testimony, before the ^emercy seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee. ⁷And Aaron shall burn thereon ^†sweet incense every morning: when ^fhe dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. ⁸And when Aaron ^||lighteth the lamps ^†at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. ⁹Ye shall offer no ^gstrange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon. ¹⁰And ^hAaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood ⁱof the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord.
