A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
THE ALTAR OF INCENSE. (Exo. 30:1-38) thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon, &c.--Its material was to be like that of the ark of the testimony, but its dimensions very small [Exo 25:10].

A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]

THE ALTAR OF INCENSE. (Exo. 30:1-38)

thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon, &c.--Its material was to be like that of the ark of the testimony, but its dimensions very small [Exo 25:10].

Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Exo 37:25-28; Exo 40:26-27. The altar of incense was to be a casing of boards of shittim wood Exo 25:5, Exo 25:18 inches square and three feet in height (taking the cubit as 18 inches), entirely covered with plates of gold. Four "horns" were to project upward at the corners like those of the altar of burnt-offering Exo 27:2. A crown or moulding of gold was to run round the top. On each of two opposite sides there was to be a gold ring through which the staves were to be put when it was moved from place to place. Exo 30:4 By the two corners thereof - Not corners. See the margin. The sense appears to be: And two gold rings shalt thou make for it under its moulding; on its two sides shalt thou make them (i. e. one ring on each side). Exo 30:6 The place for the altar of incense was outside the veil, opposite to the ark of the covenant and between the candlestick on the south side and the showbread table on the north Exo 40:22-24. It appears to have been regarded as having a more intimate connection with the holy of holies than the other things in the holy place; and the mention of the mercy-seat in this verse, if we associate with it the significance of incense as figuring the prayers of the Lord's people Psa 141:2; Rev 5:8; Rev 8:3-4, seems to furnish additional pound for an inference that the incense altar took precedence of the table of showbread and the candlestick. Exo 30:7 The lamps - See Exo 25:37. Exo 30:7-8 The offering of the incense accompanied that of the morning and evening sacrifice. The two forms of offering symbolized the spirit of man reaching after communion with Yahweh, both in act and utterance. See Psa 141:2. Exo 30:9 By this regulation, the symbolism of the altar of incense was kept free from ambiguity. atonement was made by means of the victim on the brazen altar in the court ontside; the prayers of the reconciled worshippers had their type within the tabernacle. Exo 30:10 See the marginal references.

The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917]
incense Altar of incense, type of Christ our intercessor (Joh 17:1-26); (Heb 7:25) through whom our own prayers and praises ascend to God; (Heb 13:15); (Rev 8:3); (Rev 8:4) and of the believer-priest's sacrifice of praise and worship (Heb 13:15).

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78]
The Altar of Incense and Incense-Offering bring the directions concerning the sanctuary to a close. What follows, from Ex 30:11-31:17, is shown to be merely supplementary to the larger whole by the formula "and Jehovah spake unto Moses," with which every separate command is introduced (cf. Exo 30:11, Exo 30:17, Exo 30:22, Exo 30:24, Exo 31:1, Exo 31:12). Exo 30:1-6 (cf. Exo 37:25-28). Moses was directed to make an altar of burning of incense (lit., incensing of incense), of acacia-wood, one cubit long and one broad, four-cornered, two cubits high, furnished with horns like the altar of burnt-offering (Exo 27:1-2), and to plate it with pure gold, the roof (גּג) thereof (i.e., its upper side or surface, which was also made of wood), and its walls round about, and its horns; so that it was covered with gold quite down to the ground upon which it stood, and for this reason is often called the golden altar (Exo 39:38; Exo 40:5, Exo 40:26; Num 4:11). Moreover it was to be ornamented with a golden wreath, and furnished with golden rings at the corners for the carrying-poles, as the ark of the covenant and the table of shew-bread were (Exo 25:11., Exo 25:25.); and its place was to be in front of the curtain, which concealed the ark of the covenant (Exo 26:31), "before the capporeth" (Exo 40:5), so that, although it really stood in the holy place between the candlestick on the south side and the table on the north (Exo 26:35; Exo 40:22, Exo 40:24), it was placed in the closest relation to the capporeth, and for this reason is not only connected with the most holy place in Kg1 6:22, but is reckoned in Heb 9:4 as part of the furniture of the most holy place (see Delitzsch on Heb 9:4). Exo 30:7-9 Upon this altar Aaron was to burn fragrant incense, the preparation of which is described in Exo 30:34., every morning and evening before Jehovah, at the time when he trimmed the lamps. No "strange incense" was to be offered upon it, - i.e., incense which Jehovah had not appointed (cf. Lev 10:1), that is to say, which had not been prepared according to His instructions-nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat-offering; and no drink-offering was to be poured upon it. As the altar of incense was not only marked as a place of sacrifice by its name מזבּח, "place of slain-offering," but was put on a par with the altar of sacrifice by its square shape and its horns, it was important to describe minutely what sacrifices were to be offered upon it. For the burning of fragrant incense is shown to be a sacrifice, by the fact that it was offered upon a place of sacrifice, or altar. Moreover the word הקטיר, to cause to ascend in smoke and steam, from קטר to smoke or steam, is not only applied to the lighting of incense, but also to the lighting and burning of the bleeding and bloodless sacrifices upon the altar of incense. Lastly, the connection between the incense-offering and the burnt-offering is indicated by the rule that they were to be offered at the same time. Both offerings shadowed forth the devotion of Israel to its God, whilst the fact that they were offered every day exhibited this devotion as constant and uninterrupted. But the distinction between them consisted in this, that in the burnt or whole offering Israel consecrated and sanctified its whole life and action in both body and soul to the Lord, whilst in the incense-offering its prayer was embodied as the exaltation of the spiritual man to God (cf. Psa 141:2; Rev 5:8; Rev 8:3-4); and with this there was associated the still further distinction, that the devotion was completed in the burnt-offering solely upon the basis of the atoning sprinkling of blood, whereas the incense-offering presupposed reconciliation with God, and on the basis of this the soul rose to God in this embodiment of its prayer, and was thus absorbed into His Spirit. In this respect, the incense-offering was not only a spiritualizing and transfiguring of the burnt-offering, but a completion of that offering also. Exo 30:10 Once a year Aaron was to expiate the altar of incense with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement, because it was most holy to the Lord, that is to say, as is expressly observed in the directions concerning this expiatory act (Lev 16:18-19), to purify it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel. כּפּר, with על objecti constr., signifies literally to cover over a thing, then to cover over sin, or make expiation. In the second clause we have "upon it" (the altar) instead of "upon the horns of it," because the altar itself was expiated in its horns. The use of מן in מדּם is to be explained on the ground that only a part of the blood of the sin-offering was smeared with the finger upon the horns. (For further remarks, see at Lev 16:18-19.) The term "most holy" is not only applied to this altar, in common with the inner division of the tabernacle (Exo 26:33), but also to the altar of burnt-offering (Exo 29:37; Exo 40:10), and all the vessels of the sanctuary (Exo 30:29), which were anointed with holy oil; then to the whole of the tabernacle in its holiest aspect (Num 18:10); and lastly, to all the sacrifices, which were given up entirely to Jehovah (see at Lev 2:3); - consequently to everything which stood in so intimate a relation to Jehovah as to be altogether removed, not only from use and enjoyment on the part of man, but also from contact on the part of unsanctified men. Whoever touched a most holy thing was sanctified thereby (compare Exo 30:29 with Exo 29:37).

Exo 30:1-6

(cf. Exo 37:25-28).

Exo 30:10

Once a year Aaron was to expiate the altar of incense with the blood of the sin-offering of atonement, because it was most holy to the Lord, that is to say, as is expressly observed in the directions concerning this expiatory act (Lev 16:18-19), to purify it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel. כּפּר, with על objecti constr., signifies literally to cover over a thing, then to cover over sin, or make expiation.

Whoever touched a most holy thing was sanctified thereby (compare Exo 30:29 with Exo 29:37).

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
The altar of incense was to be about a yard high, and half a yard square, with horns at the corners, a golden cornish round it, with rings and staves of gold for the convenience of carrying it, Exo 30:1-5. It doth not appear that there was any grate to this altar for the ashes to fall into, that they might be taken away; but when they burn incense, a golden censer was brought, with coals in it, and placed upon the altar, and in that censer the incense was burnt, and with it all the coals were taken away, so that no coals or ashes fell upon the altar. The altar of incense in Ezekiel's temple is double to what it is here, Eze 41:22, and it is there called an altar of wood, and there is no mention of gold, to signify that the incense in gospel times should be spiritual, the worship plain, and the service of God enlarged. It was placed before the veil, on the outside of that partition, but before the mercy - seat, which was within the veil. For though he that ministered at that altar could not see the mercy - seat, the veil interposing, yet he must look towards it, and direct his incense that way, to teach us, that though we cannot with our bodily eyes see the throne of grace, that blessed mercy - seat, yet we must in prayer by faith set ourselves before it, direct our prayer and look up.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
Altar to burn incense - The Samaritan omits the ten first verses of this chapter, because it inserts them after Exo 26:32 (note). Shittim wood - The same of which the preceding articles were made, because it was abundant in those parts, and because it was very durable; hence everywhere the Septuagint translation, which was made in Egypt, renders the original by ξυλον ασηπτον, incorruptible wood.

¹⁰ And they shall make [06213] an ark [0727] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: two cubits [0520] and a half [02677] shall be the length [0753] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the breadth [07341] thereof, and a cubit [0520] and a half [02677] the height [06967] thereof.

¹⁰ And Aaron [0175] shall make an atonement [03722] upon the horns [07161] of it once [0259] in a year [08141] with the blood [01818] of the sin offering [02403] of atonements [03725]: once [0259] in the year [08141] shall he make atonement [03722] upon it throughout your generations [01755]: it is most [06944] holy [06944] unto the LORD [03068].

⁹ Ye shall offer [05927] no strange [02114] incense [07004] thereon, nor burnt sacrifice [05930], nor meat offering [04503]; neither shall ye pour [05258] drink offering [05262] thereon.

² Let my prayer [08605] be set forth [03559] before [06440] thee as incense [07004]; and the lifting up [04864] of my hands [03709] as the evening [06153] sacrifice [04503].

³⁷ And thou shalt make [06213] the seven [07651] lamps [05216] thereof: and they shall light [05927] the lamps [05216] thereof, that they may give light [0215] over against [05676] it [06440].

⁷ And Aaron [0175] shall burn [06999] thereon sweet [05561] incense [07004] every morning [01242]: when he dresseth [03190] the lamps [05216], he shall burn incense [06999] upon it.

³ And [2532] another [243] angel [32] came [2064] and [2532] stood [2476] at [1909] the altar [2379], having [2192] a golden [5552] censer [3031]; and [2532] there was given [1325] unto him [846] much [4183] incense [2368], that [2443] he should offer [1325] it with the prayers [4335] of all [3956] saints [40] upon [1909] the golden [5552] altar [2379] which [3588] was before [1799] the throne [2362].
⁴ And [2532] the smoke [2586] of the incense [2368], which came with the prayers [4335] of the saints [40], ascended up [305] before [1799] God [2316] out of [1537] the angel's [32] hand [5495].

⁸ And [2532] when [3753] he had taken [2983] the book [975], the four [5064] beasts [2226] and [2532] four [5064] and twenty [1501] elders [4245] fell down [4098] before [1799] the Lamb [721], having [2192] every one of them [1538] harps [2788], and [2532] golden [5552] vials [5357] full [1073] of odours [2368], which [3739] are [1526] the prayers [4335] of saints [40].

² Let my prayer [08605] be set forth [03559] before [06440] thee as incense [07004]; and the lifting up [04864] of my hands [03709] as the evening [06153] sacrifice [04503].

²² And he put [05414] the table [07979] in the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], upon the side [03409] of the tabernacle [04908] northward [06828], without [02351] the vail [06532].
²³ And he set [06187] the bread [03899] in order [06186] upon it before [06440] the LORD [03068]; as the LORD [03068] had commanded [06680] Moses [04872].
²⁴ And he put [07760] the candlestick [04501] in the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150], over against [05227] the table [07979], on the side [03409] of the tabernacle [04908] southward [05045].

⁶ And thou shalt put [05414] it before [06440] the vail [06532] that is by the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715], before [06440] the mercy seat [03727] that is over the testimony [05715], where I will meet [03259] with thee.

⁴ And two [08147] golden [02091] rings [02885] shalt thou make [06213] to it under the crown [02213] of it, by the two [08147] corners [06763] thereof, upon the two [08147] sides [06654] of it shalt thou make [06213] it; and they shall be for places [01004] for the staves [0905] to bear [05375] it withal [01992].

² And thou shalt make [06213] the horns [07161] of it upon the four [0702] corners [06438] thereof: his horns [07161] shall be of the same: and thou shalt overlay [06823] it with brass [05178].

¹⁸ And thou shalt make [06213] two [08147] cherubims [03742] of gold [02091], of beaten work [04749] shalt thou make [06213] them, in the two [08147] ends [07098] of the mercy seat [03727].

⁵ And rams [0352]' skins [05785] dyed red [0119], and badgers [08476]' skins [05785], and shittim [07848] wood [06086],

²⁶ And he put [07760] the golden [02091] altar [04196] in the tent [0168] of the congregation [04150] before [06440] the vail [06532]:
²⁷ And he burnt [06999] sweet [05561] incense [07004] thereon; as the LORD [03068] commanded [06680] Moses [04872].

²⁵ And he made [06213] the incense [07004] altar [04196] of shittim [07848] wood [06086]: the length [0753] of it was a cubit [0520], and the breadth [07341] of it a cubit [0520]; it was foursquare [07251]; and two cubits [0520] was the height [06967] of it; the horns [07161] thereof were of the same.
²⁶ And he overlaid [06823] it with pure [02889] gold [02091], both the top [01406] of it, and the sides [07023] thereof round about [05439], and the horns [07161] of it: also he made [06213] unto it a crown [02213] of gold [02091] round about [05439].
²⁷ And he made [06213] two [08147] rings [02885] of gold [02091] for it under the crown [02213] thereof, by the two [08147] corners [06763] of it, upon the two [08147] sides [06654] thereof, to be places [01004] for the staves [0905] to bear [05375] it withal.
²⁸ And he made [06213] the staves [0905] of shittim [07848] wood [06086], and overlaid [06823] them with gold [02091].

¹⁵ By [1223] him [846] therefore [3767] let us offer [399] the sacrifice [2378] of praise [133] to God [2316] continually [1275], that is [5123], the fruit [2590] of our lips [5491] giving thanks [3670] to his [846] name [3686].

⁴ And [2532] the smoke [2586] of the incense [2368], which came with the prayers [4335] of the saints [40], ascended up [305] before [1799] God [2316] out of [1537] the angel's [32] hand [5495].

²⁵ Wherefore [3606] he is able [1410] also [2532] to save them [4982] to [1519] the uttermost [3838] that come [4334] unto God [2316] by [1223] him [846], seeing he ever [3842] liveth [2198] to [1519] make intercession [1793] for [5228] them [846].

¹ These words [5023] spake [2980] Jesus [2424], and [2532] lifted up [1869] his [846] eyes [3788] to [1519] heaven [3772], and [2532] said [2036], Father [3962], the hour [5610] is come [2064]; glorify [1392] thy [4675] Son [5207], that [2443] thy [4675] Son [5207] also [2532] may glorify [1392] thee [4571]:
² As [2531] thou hast given [1325] him [846] power [1849] over all [3956] flesh [4561], that [2443] he should give [1325] eternal [166] life [2222] to [3739] as many as [3956] [846] thou hast given [1325] him [846].
³ And [1161] this [3778] is [2076] life [2222] eternal [166], that [2443] they might know [1097] thee [4571] the only [3441] true [228] God [2316], and [2532] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], whom [3739] thou hast sent [649].
⁴ I [1473] have glorified [1392] thee [4571] on [1909] the earth [1093]: I have finished [5048] the work [2041] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] to [2443] do [4160].
⁵ And [2532] now [3568], O Father [3962], glorify [1392] thou [4771] me [3165] with [3844] thine own self [4572] with the glory [1391] which [3739] I had [2192] with [3844] thee [4671] before [4253] the world [2889] was [1511].
⁶ I have manifested [5319] thy [4675] name [3686] unto the men [444] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] out of [1537] the world [2889]: thine [4674] they were [2258], and [2532] thou gavest [1325] them [846] me [1698]; and [2532] they have kept [5083] thy [4675] word [3056].
⁷ Now [3568] they have known [1097] that [3754] all things [3956] whatsoever [3745] thou hast given [1325] me [3427] are [2076] of [3844] thee [4675].
⁸ For [3754] I have given [1325] unto them [846] the words [4487] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427]; and [2532] they [846] have received [2983] them, and [2532] have known [1097] surely [230] that [3754] I came out [1831] from [3844] thee [4675], and [2532] they have believed [4100] that [3754] thou [4771] didst send [649] me [3165].
⁹ I [1473] pray [2065] for [4012] them [846]: I pray [2065] not [3756] for [4012] the world [2889], but [235] for [4012] them which [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427]; for [3754] they are [1526] thine [4674].
¹⁰ And [2532] all [3956] mine [1699] are [2076] thine [4674], and [2532] thine [4674] are mine [1699]; and [2532] I am glorified [1392] in [1722] them [846].
¹¹ And [2532] now [3765] I am [1510] no more [3765] in [1722] the world [2889], but [2532] these [3778] are [1526] in [1722] the world [2889], and [2532] I [1473] come [2064] to [4314] thee [4571]. Holy [40] Father [3962], keep [5083] through [1722] thine own [4675] name [3686] those [846] whom [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427], that [2443] they may be [5600] one [1520], as [2531] we [2249] are.
¹² While [3753] I was [2252] with [3326] them [846] in [1722] the world [2889], I [1473] kept [5083] them [846] in [1722] thy [4675] name [3686]: those that [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] I have kept [5442], and [2532] none [3762] of [1537] them [846] is lost [622], but [1508] the son [5207] of perdition [684]; that [2443] the scripture [1124] might be fulfilled [4137].
¹³ And [1161] now [3568] come I [2064] to [4314] thee [4571]; and [2532] these things [5023] I speak [2980] in [1722] the world [2889], that [2443] they might have [2192] my [1699] joy [5479] fulfilled [4137] in [1722] themselves [846].
¹⁴ I [1473] have given [1325] them [846] thy [4675] word [3056]; and [2532] the world [2889] hath hated [3404] them [846], because [3754] they are [1526] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889], even as [2531] I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889].
¹⁵ I pray [2065] not [3756] that [2443] thou shouldest take [142] them [846] out of [1537] the world [2889], but [235] that [2443] thou shouldest keep [5083] them [846] from [1537] the evil [4190].
¹⁶ They are [1526] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889], even as [2531] I [1473] am [1510] not [3756] of [1537] the world [2889].
¹⁷ Sanctify [37] them [846] through [1722] thy [4675] truth [225]: thy [4674] word [3056] is [2076] truth [225].
¹⁸ As [2531] thou hast sent [649] me [1691] into [1519] the world [2889], even so [2504] have [649] I also [2504] sent [649] them [846] into [1519] the world [2889].
¹⁹ And [2532] for [5228] their [846] sakes [5228] I [1473] sanctify [37] myself [1683], that [2443] they [846] also [2532] might [5600] be sanctified [37] through [1722] the truth [225].
²⁰ Neither [1161] [3756] pray I [2065] for [4012] these [5130] alone [3440], but [235] for [4012] them also [2532] which shall believe [4100] on [1519] me [1691] through [1223] their [846] word [3056];
²¹ That [2443] they all [3956] may be [5600] one [1520]; as [2531] thou [4771], Father [3962], art in [1722] me [1698], and I [2504] in [1722] thee [4671], that [2443] they [846] also [2532] may be [5600] one [1520] in [1722] us [2254]: that [2443] the world [2889] may believe [4100] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165].
²² And [2532] the glory [1391] which [3739] thou gavest [1325] me [3427] I [1473] have given [1325] them [846]; that [2443] they may be [5600] one [1520], even as [2531] we [2249] are [2070] one [1520]:
²³ I [1473] in [1722] them [846], and [2532] thou [4771] in [1722] me [1698], that [2443] they may be [5600] made perfect [5048] in [1519] one [1520]; and [2532] that [2443] the world [2889] may know [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165], and [2532] hast loved [25] them [846], as [2531] thou hast loved [25] me [1691].
²⁴ Father [3962], I will [2309] that [2443] they also [2548], whom [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427], be [5600] with [3326] me [1700] where [3699] I [1473] am [1510]; that [2443] they may behold [2334] my [1699] glory [1391], which [3739] thou hast given [1325] me [3427]: for [3754] thou lovedst [25] me [3165] before [4253] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889].
²⁵ [2532] O righteous [1342] Father [3962], the world [2889] hath [1097] not [3756] known [1097] thee [4571]: but [1161] I [1473] have known [1097] thee [4571], and [2532] these [3778] have known [1097] that [3754] thou [4771] hast sent [649] me [3165].
²⁶ And [2532] I have declared [1107] unto them [846] thy [4675] name [3686], and [2532] will declare [1107] it: that [2443] the love [26] wherewith [3739] thou hast loved [25] me [3165] may be [5600] in [1722] them [846], and I [2504] in [1722] them [846].

³⁷ Seven [07651] days [03117] thou shalt make an atonement [03722] for the altar [04196], and sanctify [06942] it; and it shall be an altar [04196] most holy [06944] [06944]: whatsoever toucheth [05060] the altar [04196] shall be holy [06942].

²⁹ And thou shalt sanctify [06942] them, that they may be most [06944] holy [06944]: whatsoever toucheth [05060] them shall be holy [06942].

³ And the remnant [03498] of the meat offering [04503] shall be Aaron's [0175] and his sons [01121]': it is a thing most [06944] holy [06944] of the offerings [0801] of the LORD [03068] made by fire [0801].

¹⁰ In the most [06944] holy [06944] place shalt thou eat [0398] it; every male [02145] shall eat [0398] it: it shall be holy [06944] unto thee.

²⁹ And thou shalt sanctify [06942] them, that they may be most [06944] holy [06944]: whatsoever toucheth [05060] them shall be holy [06942].

¹⁰ And thou shalt anoint [04886] the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930], and all his vessels [03627], and sanctify [06942] the altar [04196]: and it shall be an altar [04196] most [06944] holy [06944].

³³ And thou shalt hang up [05414] the vail [06532] under the taches [07165], that thou mayest bring [0935] in thither within [01004] the vail [06532] the ark [0727] of the testimony [05715]: and the vail [06532] shall divide [0914] unto you between the holy [06944] place and the most [06944] holy [06944].

¹⁸ And he shall go out [03318] unto the altar [04196] that is before [06440] the LORD [03068], and make an atonement [03722] for it; and shall take [03947] of the blood [01818] of the bullock [06499], and of the blood [01818] of the goat [08163], and put [05414] it upon the horns [07161] of the altar [04196] round about [05439].
¹⁹ And he shall sprinkle [05137] of the blood [01818] upon it with his finger [0676] seven [07651] times [06471], and cleanse [02891] it, and hallow [06942] it from the uncleanness [02932] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478].

² Let my prayer [08605] be set forth [03559] before [06440] thee as incense [07004]; and the lifting up [04864] of my hands [03709] as the evening [06153] sacrifice [04503].

¹ And Nadab [05070] and Abihu [030], the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175], took [03947] either [0376] of them his censer [04289], and put [05414] fire [0784] therein [02004], and put [07760] incense [07004] thereon, and offered [07126] strange [02114] fire [0784] before [06440] the LORD [03068], which he commanded [06680] them not.

³⁴ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Take [03947] unto thee sweet spices [05561], stacte [05198], and onycha [07827], and galbanum [02464]; these sweet [05561] spices [05561] with pure [02134] frankincense [03828]: of each [0905] shall there be a like [0905] weight:

⁷ And Aaron [0175] shall burn [06999] thereon sweet [05561] incense [07004] every morning [01242]: when he dresseth [03190] the lamps [05216], he shall burn incense [06999] upon it.
⁸ And when Aaron [0175] lighteth [05927] the lamps [05216] at even [06153], he shall burn incense [06999] upon it, a perpetual [08548] incense [07004] before [06440] the LORD [03068] throughout your generations [01755].
⁹ Ye shall offer [05927] no strange [02114] incense [07004] thereon, nor burnt sacrifice [05930], nor meat offering [04503]; neither shall ye pour [05258] drink offering [05262] thereon.
