‏ Exodus 30:34-35

v. 34-35: God also gave instructions for making the incense that was burned on the golden altar (v. 34, 35 a). The incense was made from sweet spices, though not as rare or expensive as those in the oil. The Jews say a pound was made for each day of the year, plus extra for the Day of Atonement. When used, it was to be beaten very fine. This points to how Jesus suffered for us and became a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor to God (Ephesians v. 2 b).
