²⁹ They also made the sacred anointing oil^(A) and the pure, fragrant incense^(B)—the work of a perfumer.

²⁷ and burned fragrant incense on it, as the Lord commanded^(A) him.

²⁸ I chose^(A) your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense,^(B) and to wear an ephod^(C) in my presence. I also gave your ancestor’s family all the food offerings^(D) presented by the Israelites.

¹¹ My sons, do not be negligent now, for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him and serve him,^(A) to minister^(B) before him and to burn incense.”
