25 He now made the altar of incense+ out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long, a cubit wide, and two cubits high. Its horns were one piece with it.+ 26 He overlaid it with pure gold, its top surface and its sides all around and its horns, and he made a border* of gold around it.

3 Another angel, holding a golden incense vessel,* arrived and stood at the altar,+ and a large quantity of incense+ was given him to offer it with the prayers of all the holy ones on the golden altar+ that was before the throne.
