Commentary
2 notes on this verseAnd he put the golden altar,.... The altar of incense; so called because it was overlaid with gold, and to distinguish it from the altar of burnt offering, which was covered with brass: to this altar there is an allusion in Rev 8:3. in the tent of the congregation, before the vail; in the same place, the holy place, where the shewbread table and candlestick were, and these were all the furniture of it; and this was put, not within the vail, but before it, over against the ark, as that stood within it, Exo 40:5.
This site's exposition
Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting
on Exodus 40:26-27
The gold altar stands in front of the veil, as near the ark as anything outside the Most Holy Place. Exodus 30:34 to 38 gave its incense and forbade anyone to make it for himself.
