The Altar of Incense

The incense altar was made of acacia wood. It was eighteen inches square and three feet high, with its corner-horns made as part of the altar so that it was all one piece. Bezalel overlaid it all with pure gold and ran a gold molding around the edge. Two gold rings were placed on each side, beneath this molding, to hold the carrying poles. The carrying poles were gold-plated acacia wood.

Then, from sweet spices, he made the sacred oil for anointing the priests, and the pure incense, using the techniques of the most skilled perfumers.
