And you shall make an altar, a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.

It shall be a cubit in length and a cubit in width; it shall be square. And its height shall be two cubits, its horns from itself.

And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its walls all around, and its horns. And you shall make a wreath of gold for it all around.

And you shall make two rings of gold for it under its wreath; you shall make its two corners on its two sides; and they shall be housings for poles, to lift them up by it.

And you shall make the poles of acacia wood; and you shall overlay them with gold.

And you shall put it in front of the veil which is beside the ark of the testimony; in front of the mercyseat which is over the testimony, there where I meet you.

And Aaron shall burn incense of perfume on it morning by morning; when he dresses the lamps he shall burn it.

And when Aaron sets up the lamps between the evenings he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before the face of Jehovah for your generations.

You shall not offer up strange incense on it, and burnt offering and food offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering, to go up on it.

And Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once in a year; from the blood of the sin offering of the atonement once in the year he shall make atonement on it for your generations; it is most holy to Jehovah.
