Exodus 40:27

Key Reflection

The placement of the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil symbolizes the presence of God's holiness and the means of worship accessible to His people, serving as a reminder that true worship involves both approach to God and the mediation provided by Him. This positioning reflects the idea that even in the most holy place, there is still an intermediary—like the altar itself—which points forward to Christ’s role as our high priest.
