He made the altar of incense out of acacia wood
on Exodus 37:25-28
The golden altar has horns like the bronze altar, and 30:10 puts blood on them once a year. By 30:6 it stands in front of the veil, so the priests reach it daily while the ark stays hidden.
This site's exposition
two gold rings below the molding
The rings carry out 30:4. The incense altar receives two gold rings on opposite sides, where the ark and the table each receive four. Verse 25 makes it a cubit square.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Tho' here was a table furnished, it was only with shew- bread, bread to be looked upon, not to be fed upon, while it was on the table, and afterwards only by the priests: but to the table Christ has spread in the new covenant all good Christians are invited guests, and to them it is said, Eat, O friends, come eat of my bread.
