The Altar of Incense(A)

25 They made the altar of incense(B) out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high[a]—its horns(C) of one piece with it. 26 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold molding around it. 27 They made two gold rings(D) below the molding—two on each of the opposite sides—to hold the poles used to carry it. 28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold.(E)
