Exodus 30:1Easy To Read Version{God said to Moses,} “Make an altar [288] from acacia wood. You will use this altar for burning incense. [289] See the chapter |
David told how much pure gold should be used for the altar of incense. {\cf2\super [307]} David also gave Solomon the plans for \{God’s\} chariot—the mercy seat {\cf2\super [308]} with the Cherub angels {\cf2\super [309]} spreading their wings over the Box of the Lord’s Agreement. {\cf2\super [310]} The Cherub angels were made of gold.
But only Aaron’s descendants [59] were permitted to burn incense [60] on the altar of burnt offering and on the altar of incense. Aaron’s descendants did all the work in the Most Holy Place [61] in God’s house. They also did the ceremonies to make the people of Israel pure. [62] They followed all the rules and laws that Moses commanded. Moses was God’s servant.
In the Most Holy Place was a golden altar {\cf2\super [94]} for burning incense. {\cf2\super [95]} And also there was the Holy Box of the Agreement. {\cf2\super [96]} The box was covered with gold. Inside this box was a golden jar of manna {\cf2\super [97]} and Aaron’s rod (stick)—the rod that once grew leaves. Also in the box were the flat rocks \{with the Ten Commandments\} of the old agreement \{written on them\}.
