“And thou shalt set the altar of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the hanging of the door to the tabernacle.”
Exodus 40:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Exodus 40:5
The golden incense altar 'before the ark' (לִפְנֵי אֲרוֹן, lifnei aron) positioned prayer closest to God's presence (though separated by the veil). The 'hanging for the door' (מָסַךְ הַפֶּתַח, masakh haPetach, screen of entrance) separated the Holy Place from the courtyard, creating graduated holiness—courtyard, Holy Place, Most Holy Place. This teaches that approaching God involves increasing consecration. The incense altar's position teaches that prayer brings believers nearest to God. Christ, our Intercessor (Hebrews 7:25), stands perpetually 'before the ark,' pleading our case.
