Ex. 30:1–10 The altar for burning incense is similar to the altar for burnt offering (27:1–8), except that it is smaller and is overlaid with pure gold (30:3). It is one of the three items in the Holy Place.

Ex. 30:6–8 The altar is to be placed in the Holy Place before the veil that separates it from the Most Holy Place and the ark of the testimony (v. 6; see illustration of the tabernacle tent).

Ex. 30:9 Like all the other tabernacle rules, the rule against offering unauthorized incense emphasizes God’s holiness (see vv. 34–38; Lev. 10:1–3).

Ex. 30:11–16 Every person counted in a census is to give half a shekel for the service of the tabernacle. It is an offering to the Lord, either as a ransom or to make atonement for your lives.

Ex. 30:12 The ransom given with the census will prevent a plague. This warns Israel not to let pride in their great numbers replace their dependence on the Lord. Such pride in numbers appears to have been the reason for the Lord’s judgment against David’s census (see 2 Sam. 24:1–17; 1 Chron. 21:1–17).

Ex. 30:17–21 The basin of bronze is for the priests to wash themselves before serving in the tabernacle. It is in the courtyard (see illustration of the tabernacle and its court). The basin may also have been used to wash the sacrifices (Lev. 1:9).

Ex. 30:20–21 so that they may not die. See note on 28:35.

Ex. 30:22–38 This section gives instructions for making the anointing oil and incense. Since the oil is to consecrate the elements of the tabernacle and the priests, and the incense is to be burned inside the Holy Place, each is to be treated as holy and must not be used for any other purpose.

Ex. 30:33–38 shall be cut off from his people. See note on 12:15.
