Exodus

Exodus 30:7–9

7And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps. 8When Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight,c he must burn the incense perpetually before the LORD for the generations to come. 9On this altar you must not offer unauthorizedd incense or a burnt offering or grain offering; nor are you to pour a drink offering on it.
