The Altar for Burning Incense

30 Build an altar of acacia wood where you can burn incense. Make it 45 centimeters square and 90 centimeters high, and make each of its four corners stick up like the horn of a bull. Cover it with pure gold and put a gold edging around it. Then below the edging on opposite sides attach two gold rings through which you can put the poles for carrying the altar. These poles are also to be made of acacia wood covered with gold.
