Exo 30:6 | MHM | STEP | v. 6 : The altar was to be placed outside the veil but in front of the mercy seat, which was inside the veil ( v. 6 ). The priest could not see the mercy seat because of the veil, but he would face it when offering incense. This shows us that even if we cannot see God’s throne with our eyes, we must pray by faith and focus our hearts on Him (Heb. 4:16 ).
