1. "You shall also make an altar, for the burning of incense, from setim wood,
2. having one cubit in length, and another in width, that is, four equal sides, and two cubits in height. Horns shall proceed from the same.
3. And you shall clothe it with the purest gold, both its grating and the walls around it, and also the horns. And you shall make for it a crown of gold in a circle,
4. and two gold rings under the crown on each side, so that the bars may be set in them and the altar may be carried.
5. Also, you shall make its bars of setim wood, and you shall overlay them with gold.
6. And you shall set the altar opposite the veil, which hangs in front of the ark of the testimony, before the propitiatory with which the testimony is covered, where I will speak to you.
7. And Aaron shall burn incense upon it, a sweet fragrance, in the morning. When he lights the lamps, he shall burn it.
8. And when he assembles them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
