Making the Altars
“And he made the incense altar of shittim wood: the length of it was a cubit, and the breadth of it a cubit; it was foursquare; and two cubits was the height of it; the horns thereof were of the same.”
Exodus 37:25 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 37:25
The incense altar (מִזְבַּח קְטֹרֶת, mizbach ketoret) of shittim wood—continuing the pattern of acacia overlaid with gold—demonstrates that prayer and worship (symbolized by incense, Psalm 141:2, Revelation 5:8) also require humanity clothed in divinity. This altar's position before the veil, between Holy Place and Most Holy Place, represents prayer's access to God's presence through the mediator. Christ is our incense altar—His intercession carries believers' prayers to the Father like fragrant smoke ascending.
