The Altar of Incense
1 “You shall make aan altar to burn incense on; you shall make it of acacia wood.
2 A cubit shall be its length and a cubit its width—it shall be square—and two cubits shall be its height. Its horns shall be of one piece with it.
3 And you shall overlay its top, its sides all around, and its horns with pure gold; and you shall make for it a1 molding of gold all around.
4 Two gold rings you shall make for it, under the molding on both its sides. You shall place them on its two sides, and they will be holders for the poles with which to bear it.
5 You shall make the poles of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 And you shall put it before the aveil that is before the ark of the Testimony, before the bmercy seat that is over the Testimony, where I will meet with you.
7 “Aaron shall burn on it asweet incense every morning; when bhe tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.
8 And when Aaron lights the lamps1 at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
9 You shall not offer astrange incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering; nor shall you pour a drink offering on it.
10 And aAaron shall make atonement upon its horns once a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement; once a year he shall make atonement upon it throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”

12 a“When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give ba ransom for himself to the Lord, when you number them, that there may be no cplague among them when you number them.
