In this Bible Study, we look at Exodus chapter 30 in which we take a closer look at the Alter of Incense, the Bronze Basin (also called the Bronze Laver), the tabernacle anointing oil, and the tabernacle incense. What are each of these items and how ere they used by the Tabernacle priests? Other questions we look at: What is your value? What are you worth? In this study, we look at what the Bible says about your value to God.
