MEDITATION

Exodus 37:25-29

25 He made the incense altar of acacia wood. Its length was a cubit and its width a cubit—it was square—and two cubits was its height. Its horns were of one piece with it.
26 And he overlaid it with pure gold: its top, its sides all around, and its horns. He also made for it a molding of gold all around it.
27 He made two rings of gold for it under its molding, by its two corners on both sides, as holders for the poles with which to bear it.
28 And he made the poles of acacia wood, and overlaid them with gold.
29 He also made the holy anointing oil and the pure incense of sweet spices, according to the work of the perfumer.

26又用精金把坛的上面与坛的四面并坛的四角包裹,又在坛的四围镶上金牙边。
27做两个金环,安在牙子边以下,在坛的两旁两根横撑上,作为穿杠的用处,以便抬坛。
