Exodus 30:1-6

1 facies quoque altare in adolendum thymiama de lignis setthim

2 habens cubitum longitudinis et alterum latitudinis id est quadrangulum et duos cubitos in altitudine cornua ex ipso procedent

3 vestiesque illud auro purissimo tam craticulam eius quam parietes per circuitum et cornua faciesque ei coronam aureolam per gyrum

4 et duos anulos aureos sub corona per singula latera ut mittantur in eos vectes et altare portetur

5 ipsos quoque vectes facies de lignis setthim et inaurabis

6 ponesque altare contra velum quod ante arcam pendet testimonii coram propitiatorio quo tegitur testimonium ubi loquar tibi
