Making the incense altar

Exo 37:25–29

Exo 30:1–5

37:25 Making the incense altar

(Exo. 30:1-5)

25Then he made the altar for burning incense out of acacia wood. It was square—half a metre on each side—and one metre high. Its projections on the top four corners were part of it. 26He overlaid it with pure gold—all four sides including the projections—and put a gold moulding all around it. 27Then he made two gold rings and attached them below the moulding—two on each side for holding the poles for carrying the altar. 28The two poles were made from acacia wood and then overlaid with gold. 29He got a professional ointment maker to make the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense.[ref]


30:1 The incense altar

(Exo. 37:25-28)

30You must make an altar out of acacia word for burning incense on. 2It should be square—half a metre on each side—and a metre high. Make projections that look like horns on top out of that same block of wood. 3It must be overlaid with pure gold—its top and all around its sides and its projections—plus you shall make a gold moulding all around it. 4Make two gold rings and attach them to the altar below the moulding—one on each side to hold the poles for carrying it with. 5Make the two poles from acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

Exo 30:22-38:

30:22 The anointing oil

22Then Yahweh told Mosheh:[ref] 23Then you yourself must collect these spices: 6kg of fragrant sap named myrrh, then 3kg of fragrant cinnamon, 3kg of fragrant cane, 24and 6kg of fragrant casia bark. (Use the official weight for everything.) Also, four litres of olive oil. 25Get a professional perfumer to make this into a sacred, fragrant, anointing oil. 26Use it to anoint the sacred tent and the box containing the stone slabs, 27as well as the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its utensils, the incense altar, 28the altar for burnt offerings and all its equipment, and the basin and its base. 29That will make them sacred and dedicated to me, and anything that touches them will also become sacred.

30Then anoint Aharon and his sons, and dedicate them to become my priests. 31Approach the Israelis and tell them, “This recipe will be my sacred anointing oil for all generations. 32It must not be poured on anyone’s body, and you all must not use any similar recipe for yourselves—it’s sacred and must be treated as such. 33Anyone who mixes together anything like that, or who puts any of it on a stranger, must be expelled from the community.

30:33 The incense

34Then Yahweh told Mosheh: Collect equal amounts of stacte, onycha, and galbanum spices, and pure frankincense, 35and get a professional ointment mixer to add salt and make it into pure incense that will be sacred. 36Pulverise some of it into a fine powder and put it in front of the box containing the stone slabs inside the sacred tent. This incense must be regarded as being very sacred. 37No one else should make any incense for yourselves with this same recipe—it must be regarded as sacred to me. 38Anyone who makes anything similar for its fragrance must be expelled from the community.
