Under its molding on two opposite sides of it you shall make them, and they shall be fholders for poles with which to carry it. 5You shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. 6And you shall put it in front of the veil that is above the ark of the testimony, in front of the gmercy seat that is above the testimony, where I will meet with you. 7And Aaron shall hburn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he idresses the lamps he shall burn it, 8and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations. 9You shall not offer junauthorized incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and you shall not pour a drink offering on it. 10 kAaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year. With the blood of the lsin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”
