Exodus 30:2

1 “You are also to make an altar of acacia wood for the burning of incense.

It is to be square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns must be of one piece.

3 Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.

4 And make two gold rings below the molding on opposite sides to hold the poles used to carry it.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
