"You shall make an altar to burn incense on; you shall make it of acacia wood.

"Aaron shall burn on it sweet incense every morning; when he tends the lamps, he shall burn incense on it.

"And when Aaron lights the lamps at twilight, he shall burn incense on it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations.

"put fire in them and put incense in them before the LORD tomorrow, and it shall be [that] the man whom the LORD chooses [is] the holy one. [You take] too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi!"

So every man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tabernacle of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

So Moses said to Aaron, "Take a censer and put fire in it from the altar, put incense [on it,] and take it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them; for wrath has gone out from the LORD. The plague has begun."

Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer [it] with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel's hand.

"You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you.

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast [our] confession.

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.

For Christ has not entered the holy places made with hands, [which are] copies of the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

My little children, these things I write to you, so that you may not sin. And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous.

And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the whole world.
