EXODUS 30

DETAILS OF THE ALTAR OF INCENSE

God gives detailed instructions on how to build an altar for burning incense.

He explains that a census must be taken, and each person is to give half a shekel as an offering to the Lord.

God also gives instructions for a bronze basin where the priests are to wash their hands and feet so they can be clean before entering His presence. He provides guidance for the use of anointing oil and incense. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are all elements of the tabernacle and are also the gifts the wise men bring to the birth of Jesus.
