Exodus 30:1-10
“ Now you shall make an altar as a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.Its length shall be a cubit, and its width a cubit; it shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits; its horns shall be of one piece with it.You shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and you shall make a gold molding all around for it.You shall also make two gold rings for it under its molding; you shall make them on its two sides— on opposite sides— and they shall be holders for poles with which to carry it.And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.You shall put this altar in front of the veil that is near the ark of the testimony, in front of the atoning cover that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you.Aaron shall burn fragrant incense on it; he shall burn it every morning when he trims the lamps.And when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense. There shall be perpetual incense before the Lord throughout your generations.You shall not offer any strange incense on this altar, or burnt offering, or meal offering; and you shall not pour out a drink offering on it.However, Aaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year; he shall make atonement on it with the blood of the sin offering of atonement once a year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”

Then he made the altar of incense of acacia wood: a cubit long and a cubit wide, square, and two cubits high; its horns were of one piece with it.And he overlaid it with pure gold, its top and its sides all around, and its horns; and he made a gold molding for it all around.He also made two golden rings for it under its molding, on its two sides— on opposite sides— as holders for poles with which to carry it.And he made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.

Exodus 30:22-38
Moreover, the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,“ Take also for yourself the finest of spices: of liquid myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, 250, and of fragrant cane 250,and of cassia 500, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.You shall make from these a holy anointing oil, a fragrant mixture of ointments, the work of a perfumer; it shall be a holy anointing oil.And you shall anoint the tent of meeting with it, and the ark of the testimony,and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,and the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the basin and its stand.You shall also consecrate them, so that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy.And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate them, so that they may serve as priests to Me.Furthermore, you shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying,‘ This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.It shall not be poured on anyone’s body, nor shall you make any like it in the same proportions; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you.Whoever mixes any like it or whoever puts any of it on a layman shall be cut off from his people.’ ”Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Take for yourself spices— stacte, onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; there shall be an equal part of each.You shall make incense from it all, a skillful mixture, the work of a perfumer, salted, pure, and holy.And you shall crush some of it very fine, and put part of it in front of the testimony in the tent of meeting where I will meet with you; it shall be most holy to you.And the incense which you shall make, you shall not make in the same proportions for yourselves; it shall be holy to you for the Lord.Whoever makes any like it, to use as perfume, shall be cut off from his people.”
