“And two golden rings shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by the two corners thereof, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make it; and they shall be for places for the staves to bear it withal.”
Make two gold rings for the altar below the molding — two on opposite sides — to hold the poles used to carry it. The rings and poles of the incense altar follow the same portable design as the ark, the table, and the burnt offering altar. The incense altar is smaller and lighter than the burnt offering altar, but it requires the same carrying mechanism — gold rings for gold-overlaid poles. The portable incense altar travels with the community, always available to be set up at the next campsite, always ready to burn incense before the Lord. The prayer that the incense represents is never suspended by the community's movement — it continues at every encampment.
