Exodus 30

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 30 of 40

1 And you shall make an altar, a place for burning incense; you shall make it of acacia wood.

2 It shall be a cubit in length and a cubit in width; it shall be square. And its height shall be two cubits, its horns from itself.

3 And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its walls all around, and its horns. And you shall make a wreath of gold for it all around.
