Exodus - ch 30 v 1 - 20
- Thou shalt make also an altar to burn incense, of setim wood.
- It shall be a cubit in length, and another in breadth, that is, foursquare, and two in height. Horns shall go out of the same.
- And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold, as well as the grate thereof, as the walls round about and the horns. And thou shalt make to it a crown of gold round about,
- And two golden rings under the crown on either side, that the bars may be put into them, and the altar be carried.
- And thou shalt make the bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.
- And thou shalt set the altar over against the veil, that hangeth before the ark of the testimony before the propitiatory wherewith the testimony is covered, where I will speak to thee.
- And Aaron shall burn sweet smelling incense upon it in the morning. When he shall dress the lamps, he shall burn it:
- And when he shall place them in the evening, he shall burn an everlasting incense before the Lord throughout your generations.
- You shall not offer upon it incense of another composition nor oblation, and victim, neither shall you offer libations.
- And Aaron shall pray upon the horns thereof once a year, with the blood of that which was offered for sin, and shall make atonement upon it in your generations. It shall be most holy to the Lord.

- He that is counted in the number from twenty years and upwards, shall give the price.
- The rich man shall not add to half a sicle, and the poor man shall diminish nothing.
- And the money received which was contributed by the children of Israel, thou shalt deliver unto the uses of the tabernacle of the testimony, that it may be a memorial of them before the Lord, and he may be merciful to their souls.
- And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
- Thou shalt make also a brazen laver with its foot, to wash in: and thou shalt set it between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar. And water being put into it,
- Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and feet in it:
- When they are going into the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they are to come to the altar, to offer on it incense to the Lord,
