EXODUS 30

DETAILS OF THE ALTAR OF INCENSE

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

He explains that He wants there to be a census where everyone is to be counted and pay half a shekel as an offering. 

And He gives instructions for a bronze basin for the Israelites to wash their hands and feet so they can be clean before God. God also gives instructions for the use of anointing oils. Gold, frankincense, and myrrh are all elements of the tabernacle and are also the gifts the wise men bring to the birth of Jesus.
