incense-altar
An altar of acacia wood on which to burn incense, one cubit square and two cubits high, horns of a piece with it, overlaid with pure gold. It stands in front of the curtain by the ark of the Testimony, before the mercy-seat. Aaron burns fragrant incense on it each morning and at twilight; once a year he makes expiation on its horns with the blood of the sacrifice for sin. Bezalel and Oholiab are commissioned to make the altar of incense.
