The Altar of Incense
1 "You are also to make an altar of acacia wood for the burning of incense.
6 Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony30:6 That is, the ark of the covenant; also in verse 26— before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony— where I will meet with you. 7 And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps. 8 When Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight,30:8 Hebrew between the two evenings he must burn the incense perpetually before the LORD for the generations to come.
10 Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering30:10 Or purification offering of atonement. The altar is most holy to the LORD."
