Exodus 30:34-38; 37:29. At the end of the Holy compartment of the tabernacle, next to the curtain dividing it off from the Most Holy, was located the incense altar (Exodus 30:1; 37:25; 40:5, 26, 27). According to the Books of Chronicles, there was also a similar incense altar in Solomon's temple in Jerusalem (1 Chronicles 28:18, 2 Chronicles 2:4).
The second altar was the Altar of Incense (מִקְטַ֣ר miqṭar) (Exodus 30:1–10), also called the Golden Altar (מִזְבַּ֣ח הַזָּהָ֔ב mizbaḥ hazzāhāv) (39:38; Numbers 4:11) and the Inner Altar (מִזְבַּ֣ח פְּנִימִי mizbaḥ pnimi). This was the indoor altar and stood in front of the Holy of Holies.
Rabbi Jose argued that just as in Exodus 30:2 the altar's height was twice its length, so too in Exodus 27:1, the height was to be read as twice its length (and thus the altar was 10 cubits high).

Exodus 30: Incense altar, washstand, anointing oil, incense. Liane Feldman highlights the contrasting descriptions of the Meeting Tent in the Pentateuch, where the Priestly source presents a large, ornate tent at the center of the Israelite community, while a non-priestly strand describes a smaller, simpler tent for Moses, demonstrating the ...
They prepared an incense offering upon kindling of their own and not of the holy incense from the sacred bronze altar. This was seen as foreign or unholy fire (Hebrew: אֵ֣שׁ זָרָ֔ה ’êš zārāh). [17] Aaron’s sons spurned the command to wait for holy fire and offered incense with profane fire. [18]
The primary purpose of anointing with the holy anointing oil was to sanctify, to set the anointed person or object apart as qodesh, or "holy" (Exodus 30:29). [2] Originally, the oil was used exclusively for the priests and the Tabernacle articles, but its use was later extended to include kings (1 Samuel 10:1). [3]
