40:5 And thou shalt set the altar {b} of gold for the incense before the ark of the testimony, and put the {c} hanging of the door to the tabernacle.
(b) That is, the altar of perfume, or to burn incense on.
(c) This hanging or veil was between the sanctuary and the court.
40:1-15 When a new year begins, we should seek to serve God better than the year before. In half a year the tabernacle was completed. When the hearts of numbers are earnest in a good cause, much may be done in a short time; and when the commandments of God are continually attended to, as the rule of working, all will be done well. The high-priesthood was in the family of Aaron till Christ came, and in Him, the substance of all these shadows, it continues for ever.
