“ Make an altar for burning incense. Make it out of acacia wood.It must be one and a half feet square and three feet high. Make a horn stick out from each of its upper four corners.Cover the top, sides and horns with pure gold. Put a strip of gold around it.Make two gold rings for the altar below the strip.

Cover them with gold.Put the altar in front of the curtain that hangs in front of the ark. The ark is where the tablets of the covenant law are kept. The ark will have a cover. It will be the place where sin is paid for. There I will meet with you.“ Aaron must burn sweet- smelling incense on the altar. He must do it every morning when he takes care of the lamps.He must burn incense again when he lights the lamps at sunset. Incense must be burned regularly in front of the Lord. Do it for all time to come.Do not burn any other incense on the altar. Do not use the altar for burnt offerings or grain offerings. And do not pour drink offerings on it.Once a year Aaron must put the blood of a sin offering on the horns of the altar. He must do this to make the altar pure. He must do this on the day Israel’s sin is paid for. Do this for all time to come. The altar is a very holy place to me.”

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Get some fine spices. Get 12 pounds eight ounces of liquid myrrh. Get six pounds four ounces of sweet- smelling cinnamon and the same amount of sweet- smelling calamus.Also get 12 pounds eight ounces of cassia. All the spices must be weighed out in keeping with the standard weights that are used in the sacred tent. And get a gallon of olive oil.Have a person who makes perfume mix everything into a sacred anointing oil. It will smell sweet.Then use it to anoint the tent of meeting and the ark where the tablets of the covenant law are kept.Anoint the table for the holy bread and all its things. Anoint the lampstand and the things that are used with it. Anoint the altar for burning incense.Anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all its tools. And anoint the large bowl together with its stand.You must set them apart so that they will be very holy. Anything that touches them will be holy.“ Anoint Aaron and his sons. Set them apart so that they can serve me as priests.Say to the people of Israel,‘ This will be my sacred anointing oil for all time to come.Do not pour it on anyone else’s body. Do not make any other oil in the same way. It is sacred. So you must think of it as sacred.Suppose a person makes perfume in the same way. And suppose that person puts it on someone who is not a priest. Then that person must be separated from their people.’ ”Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Get some sweet- smelling spices. Get some gum resin, onycha and galbanum. Also get some pure frankincense. Make sure everything is in equal amounts.Have a person who makes perfume mix it all up into a sweet- smelling incense. It must have salt in it. It will be pure and sacred.Grind some of it into powder. Place it in front of the ark of the covenant law in the tent of meeting. There I will meet with you. The incense will be very holy to you.Do not make any incense for yourselves in the same way. Think of it as holy to the Lord.Whoever makes incense in the same way to enjoy its sweet smell must be separated from their people.”

May my prayer come to you like the sweet smell of incense. When I lift up my hands in prayer, may it be like the evening sacrifice.
