Exodus 30:1-6 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

1. Build an altar of acacia wood where you can burn incense.

2. Make it forty-five centimetres square and ninety centimetres high, and make each of its four corners stick up like the horn of a bull.

3. Cover it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it.

4. Then below the edging on opposite sides attach two gold rings through which you can put the poles for carrying the altar.

5. These poles are also to be made of acacia wood covered with gold.

6. Put the altar in front of the inside curtain of the sacred tent. The chest with the place of mercy is kept behind that curtain, and I will talk with you there.
