Ex 30:3And you shall overlay it with pure gold, its top and its sides around it and its horns; and you shall make a rim of gold around it.

Ex 30:19And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet with water from it;
Ex 30:20When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they may not die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering by fire to Jehovah,

Ex 30:24And of cassia five hundred shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
Ex 30:25And you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a fragrant ointment compounded according to the work of a compounder; it shall be a holy anointing oil.
Ex 30:26And with it you shall anoint the Tent of Meeting and the Ark of the Testimony,
Ex 30:27And the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,
Ex 30:28And the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.
