Exodus 30 - The Altar of Incense




Traditions were established for the burning of incense, hand and foot washing, census  taxes, and anointing oil. God gave instructions for the building of the altar used to burn the incense. It's measurements were precise and acacia wood was to be used. 

Instructions were given for taking a census tax and also for sanitation upon entering the temple.

The Lord prescribed the fragrances to be used and these were only to be used in the temple and not to be worn by anyone outside the temple or they would be cut off by the rest of the Israelites. The aromatic substances were listed in verse 34 along with the recipe to be used. Only the finest and purest substances were to be used.

Thank you so much for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and the reading of His word.
