“They burn holocausts to the Lord and fragrant incense morning after morning and evening after evening they display the showbread on the pure table, and the lamps of the golden lamp stand burn evening after evening for we observe our duties to the Lord, our God, but you have abandoned him.” (2 Chronicles 13:11) “He placed the lamp stand in the meeting tent, opposite the table, on the south side of the Dwelling, and he set up the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.” (Exodus 40:24-25) Throughout your generations this shall be the established incense offering before the Lord.” (Exodus 30:7-8) Morning after morning, when he prepares the lamps, and again in the evening twilight, when he lights the lamps, he shall burn incense. “On it Aaron shall burn fragrant incense. These, as well as the trimming shears and trays, must be of pure gold.” (Exodus 25:31-38)

The Old Testament speaks of the faithful preparing an altar in the temple of the Lord where incense, burnt offerings and lamp stands or candlesticks are used as they come before the Lord to worship him.
