As the LORD had commanded Moses, Aaron put it in front of the Covenant Box, so that it could be kept.

Put this altar outside the curtain which hangs in front of the Covenant Box. That is the place where I will meet you.

I will meet you there, and from above the lid between the two winged creatures I will give you all my laws for the people of Israel.

For all time to come, this burnt offering is to be offered in my presence at the entrance of the Tent of my presence. That is where I will meet my people and speak to you.

There I will meet the people of Israel, and the dazzling light of my presence will make the place holy.

He said, "Tell your brother Aaron that only at the proper time is he to go behind the curtain into the Most Holy Place, because that is where I appear in a cloud above the lid on the Covenant Box. If he disobeys, he will be killed.
