Exodus 30:6-10

6 And you shall put it in front of the veil that is above the ark of the testimony, in front of the ^amercy seat that is above the testimony, where I will meet with you. 7 And Aaron shall ^bburn fragrant incense on it. Every morning when he ^cdresses the lamps he shall burn it, 8 and when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a regular incense offering before the Lord throughout your generations. 9 You shall not offer ^dunauthorized incense on it, or a burnt offering, or a grain offering, and you shall not pour a drink offering on it. 10 ^eAaron shall make atonement on its horns once a year. With the blood of the ^fsin offering of atonement he shall make atonement for it once in the year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the Lord.”

Exodus 30:34-38

34 The Lord said to Moses, ^g“Take sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense (of each shall there be an equal part), 35 and make an ^hincense blended as by the ⁱperfumer, ^jseasoned with salt, pure and holy. 36 You shall beat some of it very small, and put part of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting ^kwhere I shall meet with you. ^lIt shall be most holy for you. 37 And the incense that you shall make ^maccording to its composition, you shall not make for yourselves. It shall be for you holy to the Lord. 38 ⁿWhoever makes any like it to use as perfume shall be cut off from his people.”

Leviticus 10:1-2

The Death of Nadab and Abihu

1 Now ^oNadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, ^peach took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered ^qunauthorized ^{▼▼Or strange} fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. 2 And fire ^scame out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord.

Leviticus 16:12-13

12 And he shall take ^ta censer full of coals of fire from the altar before the Lord, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and he shall bring it inside the veil 13 ^uand put the incense on the fire before the Lord, that the cloud of the incense may cover ^vthe mercy seat that is over the testimony, so that he does not die.

Numbers 16:16-18

16 And Moses said to Korah, “Be present, you and all your company, ^wbefore the Lord, you and they, and Aaron, tomorrow. 17 And ^xlet every one of you take his censer and put incense on it, and every one of you bring before the Lord his censer, ^y250 censers; you also, and Aaron, each his censer.” 18 So every man took his censer and put fire in them and laid incense on them and stood at the entrance of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

Numbers 16:35-40

35 And ^zfire came out from the Lord and consumed ^aathe 250 men offering the incense.

36 ^{▼▼Ch 17:1 in Hebrew} Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 37 “Tell Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest to take up the censers out of the blaze. Then scatter the fire far and wide, for they have become holy. 38 As for the censers of ^acthese men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered plates as a covering for the altar, for they offered them before the Lord, and they became holy. ^adThus they shall be a sign to the people of Israel.” 39 So Eleazar the priest took the bronze censers, which those who were burned had offered, and they were hammered out as a covering for the altar, 40 to be a reminder to the people of Israel, so ^aethat no outsider, who is not of the descendants of Aaron, should draw near to burn incense before the Lord, lest he become like Korah and his company—as the Lord said to him through Moses.

Numbers 16:46-47

46 And Moses said to Aaron, “Take your censer, and put fire on it from off the altar and lay incense on it and carry it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for ^afwrath has gone out from the Lord; the plague has begun.” 47 So Aaron took it as Moses said and ran into the midst of the assembly. And behold, the plague had already begun among the people. And he put on the incense and made atonement for the people.
