Moses placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the curtain. The golden altar of incense is installed in its specified location — in the Holy Place, before the veil. The altar that ascends prayer to God is positioned at the closest point to the Most Holy Place that the regular priestly ministry reaches. Before the veil, before the ark, as near as the daily service comes to the divine presence: the incense altar marks the boundary between the regular and the most holy.
