Exodus 30:5
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.
Make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.
6 Place the altar in front of the veil that is before the ark of the Testimony —before the mercy seat that is over the Testimony—where I will meet with you.
7 And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps.
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.
