8. And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it continually before the Lord throughout your ages.
9. Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon nor burnt sacrifice nor present; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.
10. And Aaron shall make reconciliation upon the horns of it once a year with the blood of the reconciliation for sin; once a year shall he make reconciliation upon it throughout your ages; it shall be most holy unto the Lord.
