願我的禱告好像香安放在你面前；願我的手高舉好像獻晚祭。

願我的禱告如燻祭的香氣陳列於你面前；願我的舉手祈禱如獻晚祭。

願我的禱告如香呈獻在你面前；願我的雙手舉起如獻晚祭。

願我祈禱、陳於爾前、有若馨香、願我舉手、等於夕祭兮、

容我聲聞於上、有若馨香、視我舉手以拜、有若夕祭兮。

願我之禱告、如香煙達至主前、我舉手祈求、願主視為晚祭、

向主獻心禱。宛如薦馨香。舉手抒仰慕。應同晚祭芳。

With the incense he offered the prayers of all God’s people.The smoke of the incense rose up from the angel’s hand. The prayers of God’s people rose up together with 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.”

Sacrifice the other lamb when the sun goes down. Sacrifice it along with the same grain offering and its drink offering as you do in the morning. It has a pleasant smell.
