cubit, and its width a cubit, it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be ▼▼ Lit from itself
of one piece with it. 3“You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its ▼▼ Lit walls
sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it. 4“You shall make two gold rings for it under its molding; you shall make them on its two side walls— on ▼▼ Lit its two
opposite sides— and ▼▼ Lit it
they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it. 5“You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 6“You shall put ▼▼ Lit it
this altar in front of the veil that is ▼▼ Lit upon or over
near the ark of the testimony, in front of the ▼▼ Lit propitiatory
,
jmercy seat that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you. 7“Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; he shall burn it every morning when he trims the lamps. 8“When Aaron ▼▼ Lit causes to ascend
trims the lamps at ▼▼ Lit between the two evenings
twilight, he shall burn incense. There shall be perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations. 9“You shall not offer any strange incense on ▼▼ Lit it
this altar, or burnt offering or meal offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering on it. 10“Aaron shall nmake atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”
